MSN Messenger pages not displaying
What causes MSN and other pages not to display, when other webpages happily display ? The usual restart of router, take out broadband connection and reconnect etc. resolves it, but is there an easier way and can anyone put their finger on what really is the cause.

Where Is Flash Player
I think I've succeeded in saving a YouTube video to my disk using YouTubex, and I'm told I need Flash Player to view it. I downloaded Flash Player, but the installer didn't say where it was putting it. I can't find it using Search. It shows up on the list of installed programs, but with no size indicated. Any idea what my problem is?...

Video file extension
I downloaded a video from YouTube and was told it should have the .flv extension. When I click on it, Windows (XP) says it can't open it. It supposedly should be played with FlashPlayer, which I downloaded but now can't find. Could it be that Windows says it can't open it because it knows it needs FlashPlayer and it can't find it either?...
