I am running Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion PC, and have had my old copy of Flash 8.0 (authoring prog) running on it just fine. I activated my pre-installed copy of Office 2010 & installed an update for the Adobe Reader (I have also recently upgraded my Nortons trial to the regular, but I only mention it FYI)... afterwards I could not start Flash 8.0 - a pop-up says the command could not be sent to the program and another window popped up below telling me that a running program is changing the color theme to Windows 7 basic... I have uninstalled the Office suite & the Reader to see if they caused this, but Flash 8.0 still doesn't open. Is any of this related? Elsewhere I hear Flash 8.0 may not be compatible with Windows, and something about the Aero theme in Windows 7 may be a pointer...? Please assist! Thank you!
