Hi, Just did an install of Flash 5, and everytime I try to run it I get this error: flash.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. I've looked through the Macromedia support, and tried the recommendation of installing/running Flash 5 under safe mode. Unfortunately this didn't work Any ideas, help, suggestions would be appreciated!

I uninstalled Flash 5, then installed the Flash 5 trial. The trial loads a bit farther, I can see the navigation bar and the splash screen start loading, but then it closes. Does this narrow down the problem at all?

If it was cracked, that's the first thing I would blame. Just had an idea...

Yep, all updates. This is a relatively new OS clean install. (1 week) Looks like I might have to do another clean install and install Flash first and see if that does the trick...

No, this is an educational cd. I've installed the program on my 2nd computer (which has WinME) and it works fine.

Small note, all other Macromedia software works: Dreamweaver 4, Freehand 9, Fireworks 4

I'm starting to have fairly regular crashes with explorer.exe. Really pisses me off since I have to restart/logoff to get my system tray icons back. It seems to happen most when I open the Start button or when using ie. One person recommended that I check the option in IE for opening windows in a new process. (Did that and it improved explorer.exe stability a bit) FYI, Win2k has been running stable for almost half a year now. Any recommendations?
