I tried disabling McAfee and my ad blocker (just the
google toolbar).
When I try to download the flash player, I'm supposed to
get an "install now" button to download it. The button
wasn't even visible on the screen! I don't know if that
means I had it installed, but I downloaded it from
download.com instead and the site still didn't work.
