   OK... I think I maybe looking at doing the same thing. I recent updated   
   my ie and my flash. the new flash works just fine in the new ie and the   
   "scape" 8.1 but I had the same problem in 7.2 as someone else. so i went   
   into netscape and renamed the flash plugin to stop it from crashing my   
   main e-mail and browser.
