    Hi,

    I'm having difficulty updating the Flash Player add-on in my IE8 browser. When I try to download I get a dialogue box which states that memory <hex code) has tried to write to memory reference <same hex code as previous>.

    Then the Microsoft DEP (Data Execution Prevention module) runs and shuts down IE. I have disabled the Flash 7 add-on and reset the Internet Explorer Settings on the Advanced tab of Internet Options. It still gives me the error described above. Is it OK to uninstall IE 8.0 and re-install it. I only started getting this problem after running the BT HomeHub setup which added several Yahoo add-ons to the browser. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    One additional thing to be mindful of, most recent versions of Flash Player must be uninstalled FIRST, before installing the latest version. No need to unistall IE8, if you do, you're rolled back to IE7.
