haha but try replacing your mother board.... its giving me the BSOD because the hardware is bound to xp (long story short) and my bootable copy of xp is shot... i have a legit key though, now i also have this trial version of xp service pack 2 my question is if i repair my harddrive with the trial version, i wonder if it'll let me use my old key to activate it?? if not i'll just backup her files... and go from there

yeah, the bar came up at the top of the browser to allow activex to download it or whatever, i clicked allow. then the security box came up that asked if it wanted to continue, i hit continue. next the install/dont install box came up and i hit install. about 5-10 seconds of scrolling green lines went across the screen on the adobe page and it said installation complete in a little grey box within that page.

If using FireFox Tools > Options > Content will show you if Java is enabled.
Tools > Add-ons > Plugins will show you what is currently installed, it'll show you what version of Flash is installed etc...

and then proceeded to deleting it
