Uh oh!  Maybe I spoke too soon.  Now my laptop won't let me into my email or websites....except, in some instances, very slowly.  I get a message at the bottom of my screen saying the website (msn.ca,  facebook, etc.) "is not responding". 

I'm assuming that this process I followed to fix my flash player had something to do with this, as this has never happened before. 

It seems to have really slowed down to the point that it's not functional.

Help!

Hi Chris,

I've rebooted my computer several times to no avail.  I also cleared my  browser cache from firefox and from Internet Explorer.   Then restarted again.  Still no difference.

I did make what seemed like a minor mistake when I first followed those instructions.  I forgot the first time to right click and get "run as administrator".  

But then I tried again, right clicked that and ran as administrator.

I don't know if that initial error could have affected anything.   Is there a way of reversing the process....just to see if it makes a difference?

Thanks so much for helping.

Chris, I don't understand what any of this means....but that's OK, because it now seems fixed.  It looks like the whole problem was related to my google, and websites like facebook that I had probably previously downloaded from google.  When I'd try getting into a website through the browser on google, it wouldn't work either.

So I used google chrome, and everything was fine.  I just downloaded my email address, and my facebook via google chrome and now it all works.  Websites also work from firefox. 

I don't know if that procedure for fixing flash player somehow conflicted with google, or whether it was just a huge coincidence.

So thanks for all your help.
