Say diesel, do you have a program that is disabling FLASH ads? That is probably why it is blank. You probably have a adware program somewhere that is trying to give you a ad. you don't have the free boombox radio program installed do you? It has a adware installed that nether Ad-Aware or Spybot found. Here are the two messages on it, #msg-1797459 & #msg-1797564

Here is the website to boombox http://www.jajsoft.com/products.html I sent them two emails asking for instructions on how to remove the adware program, and they never came back to me. The ads kelp running even after I remover Boombox. I did not remove the program but did stop it from running. I used Task manager to see if there was any strange programs running, I found that I had two smss.exe programs running. I have seen several svchost.exe programs running but never two smss.exe programs. I then started up windows explorer and did a search for smss.exe, Not only did I have two programs running at the same time, they were two different Programs. the one in, windows\system32\ is the good one. The bad one was in ether windows or system folder. I never did remove it, I disabled it using msconfig. While waiting on a email reply. I got what I thought was a virus, so I reformatted and reinstalled windows.
