>>>I would down load the "Macromedia Flash Player 7" if it would solve the problem, but for some reason I can't even do that.

I don't think that would solve the problem as the main page and mail pages don't use/require it.

I would suspect that a browser hijacker is causing the problem. Clear the browser cache as previously suggested and then run a program like Ad-aware SE or SpyBot and try again.

Good luck.
