Macromedia prompt yes or no to install

I do not want to install macromedia player, but it keeps poping up every move
I make. When I select no it just comes back again and again.
Besides sayin YES, how can I get rid of this?

Don't go to Web sites that use Flash animation.

What Richard said. It probably only pops up when you get to a page
that uses it. This probably includes the use of Forward or Back. That
is, even those will probably try to start the Flash Player.

One way to avoid using Forward and Back in the great majority of cases
is to use tabbed browsing in Netscape, or other lesser known browsers.

In Netscape, multiple tabs in the same browser window started with
version 7, but version 7.1 has a major improvement for it. I think
that's the current version, but I haven't looked.

Change domain to erols.com, if necessary.

Thanks, I understand why it pops up. I just hate some of
the more intrusive ads I get when I install it. That's why
I say no to macromedia. I am using windows 98, so any info
on netscape is greek to me . .hum, maybe I need to try
netscape . . .thanks again

I use win98 and Netscape. They go together fine.

Tabbed browsing is great, not just for avoiding macromedia popups. Do
you have phone connectino or broadband?

Where do you see these ads you are talking about.

I have phone connect.

The most aggravating one is the aggressive obnoxious
upgrade ads my isp throws at me when my home page comes
up. Long as I don't download Macromedia Flash player, it
can't come up, but I keep getting prompted to download it.

That especially makes tabbed browsing desireable. You can look on one
page and right click on each wanted link, and click Start in new tab.
In the preferences, you can set, Don't change focus when opening tab,
or something like that.

Then you can continue to rread the first tab, and by the time you are
done, the second will have loaded. By the time you are done with the
second, all of the tabs will probably have loaded with the intended
links. So it doesn't feel so slow anymore.

The most aggravating one is the aggressive obnoxious
upgrade ads my isp throws at me when my home page comes

OK.

That sounds reasonable. So, all I need is Netscape to get
the tabbed brousing?

Yes. I think version 7.1 is the current version. Version 7.0 works
but was missing one important feature related to this.

I heard other browsers listed for this on a computer show, but the
same guy didn't mention Netscape! Just browsers I had never heard of
(except I had heard of Opera.) His description of tabbbed browsing
was just what Netscape has (although I don't think they give it a
name.) so it seems wierd that he didn't list Netscape.

Try it. You're not locked in. Although sometimes I think using IE
makes it more like IE will crash and that IE can take windows with it,
while other browsers can't. I don't know if this is true, though.

What's the best way to get Netscape, download off net, or
get CD, or what?
