After my computer crashed recently I have managed to reload the operating system ( XP ) & completely updated it, reloaded all my software successfully, but have a couple of issues that I cannot resolve & would like some advice please. First the m/s auto update keeps trying & failing to instal security update for flash player KB923789, second my pc will not allow me to download the latest adobe flash player from the adobe site( I wondered if I need to turn off firewall, but I am reluctant to try) , but do I really need the latest flash player anyway & finally when I clicked on my desktop link to open my broadband connection, internet explorer used to open automatically, this has stopped happening & I have to launch IE 8 from the start menu. Thanks
