The Bad News

I’ve been fighting with Adobe Support for days now, and it’s driving me nuts.

The last time I had an Adobe problem, I was trying to get the full version of Adobe Acrobat to work.  That time I was able to get phone support.  We tried everything including registry changes, and for no apparent reason, it was impossible to fix the problem.

Of course, I could have wiped the hard drive and rebuilt it.  But, I bought NitroPDF instead.

This time, it’s a more difficult problem.  There seems to be a problem  viewing some flash displays if you have a Vista 64-bit computer and you upgrade to the newest version of Adobe Flash, Flash 10.

Oddly enough, there is a notice on the Adobe site that Flash support is being provided by email only.  Thus started my quest to figure out what the problem is.  I opened a support case at Adobe and have been trading emails with them for the past few days.

No luck.  The last suggestion from Adobe support was that I purchase Dreamweaver and use it to generate the code to embed a flash module.  Yeah, right.

If anyone, anywhere, has had problems with Flash 10 on Vista computers and figured out how to fix it, please let me know.  If you have any idea how to get a straight answer on a fix, or if you know where I could go to get an answer, I’d be forever greatful if you let me know!!

Now, For the Good News!

Voter turnout in the 2008 election is being called Unprecedented. . .  Phenominal. . . and I’m sure there’ll be more adjectives to come. 

It’s also been an amazing year for new voter registration.

This was a groundbreaking election, and I’m proud that the American public responded in kind.

I’m also really excited that the campaign is over and I won’t have to listen to taped recordings calling me on the phone, and campaign commercials on the television.

Now, I pray that we can show the same kind of spirit in pulling together to address all the issues facing the nation.

Tomorrow, I’m going to fill my gas tank while the gas prices are still “low”.
