I've been having this same problem as long as i've had a computer. When I click the download button, no security window pops up and nothing downloads, it just switches to the next web page saying it's been downloaded but no flash stuff works. I've searched the computer and found a macromed folder with a flash folder in it, but no real programs, just a get Flash button and some other non importants. What the hecks goin on?!

    I have windows 98SE. New hardrive...I cannot download macromedia flash player either. I click on download....there is no picture, just a blank box with an x in the top left corner. No text and no movie and nothing to let me know if download was successful or not. I can't play msn video highlights without this program.

    I have the same problem and thought it was me but the more I think about it, It's the web site maybe it's a way for them to get us to buy, really they don't give out free things. The sad thing is we can't watch news clips. :(
