From FP6 to FP7, the security model went from "fuzzy domain" to "exact domain". Another change was to obfuscate the directory where SO's are stored to prevent security attacks. These changes resulted in multiple locations where an SO might legitimately be located, and due to some chain of events, one copy of the SO may be obscuring the other. Try renaming the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\#SharedObjects\macromedia.com\support Rename it to something like “support___” and refresh the page. At Macromedia, we have heard a few other reports of this problem (if this is indeed your problem) but we are still trying to understand it fully and determine how widespread it is.
