Stop!!! Careful of that one. I used it fine before but it just got rid of a lot of things. Trying to stop you making a mistake. It has a warning box to let you know you're doing something that cannot be undone. Some things are gone and need to be put back in, some not. DK

I just added Firefox for the first time this past weekend; it's version 3.5.3 which I believe is the latest. At Adobe, I installed/reinstalled Flash Version 10.0.32.18. It is for Windows, Firefox, Safari and Opera. I also installed the Flash Player 10 PlugIn 10.0.32.18 which is for Firefox. I tested at the Adobe site and they report Flash 10.0.32.18 was successfully installed. I also checked C:\Windows/system32/Macromed/Flash and found Flash10c.ocx and NPSWF32.dll there. During the time that I was still trying to get IE7 to work, I followed some directons using Start, Run and then entering each of the following separately, followed by clicking OK. They were regsvr32 mshtml.dll regsvr32 shdocvw.dll regsvr32 browseui.dll regsvr32 msjava.dll Success was reported with the 1st three, but on the last the message was: LoadLibrary ("msjava.dll") failed. The specified module could not be found. I googled it and one site said it won't be found because MS's Java has been replaced by Sun's version. Another site listed programs it's known to affect - Macromedia Flash was on the list. Since I recognized the work Java, I reinstalled that program just in case it might solve the video problem - it didn't. Since this all began somewhere in the process of updating to IE7 (which I then uninstalled) I did reinstall IE7 hoping for a magic solution - it didn't happen. I do plant to continue with FF, however. Is there a program (or maybe it's a tool that's already on my computer) that would show what's happening behind the scenes when the video is "loading"? Thanks for reading. Sorry about the length. - June

I've been using Firefox since longer than I can remember, and a beta version has never been pushed to me. Auto-updates to release versions, yes. Beta versions, no (I am not subscribed to the beta channel and have never been forced to it). Regards to browser security, there's a newly discovered vulnerability in the SSLv3 protocol -- POODLE is the acronym. It's a combination of browser and server. SSLv3 was superseded some while ago by TLS, but many servers are still running SSLv3 (along with TLS). A secure browser connection that starts on TLS can be tricked into downgrading to SSL 3.0 (if the connecting server still supports it), and a hacker can intercept bits of the data flow when that happens. The expectation is that SSL 3.0 will not be patched since it's considered outdated. Servers that are running it will (should) soon be reconfigured to no longer support it. Users who are running old browsers that don't support TLS will no longer be able to connect to secure sites such as online banking or shopping after servers no longer support SSLv3. The recommended defense until servers are fixed to to eliminate SSLv3 is for users to set their browser to not allow SSL 3.0 connections (minimum TLSv1). If your old browser of choice (or requirement) doesn't support TLS then you're stuck being susceptible, and will be out-of-luck when SSLv3 is fully redacted. IE6 , for example, supports TLSv1 but the option is not enabled by default, it must be manually turned on. (TLS is currently up to v3, which IE6 does not support past TLSv1.) Test your browser

Thanks everyone for your constructive advice. I am seriously considering changing the cabinet fronts to those white ones from the Adel series. Also removing the cabinet right next to the window so that the only wall cabinets would be on the stove wall (ANY THOUGHTS ON CABINET REMOVAL?) I wish I could add tall pantries to either side of the stove wall but unfortunately the new configuration won't allow it. Therefore I don't think I should add shelves to the stove wall b/c then tenants would have no place to put their canned goods--although I considered placing tall wardrobe closets in the dining room to the left of the sun room (see pic in photo bucket) in the same style/color as the kitchen cabinets. It's only a short walk back to the kitchen bar. Not the best solution, but would allow much more storage and shelves & short cabinets on stove wall(ANY THOUGHTS ON DINING ROOM PANTRY IDEA?) Nothing I can do now about the sink placement so I'm ok with living with it (ANY THOUGHTS ON WHETHER FAUCET IS TOO LARGE?TALL FOR THE SINK/CABINET CONFIGURATION?). I've decided to forgo the French marble mantel--anyone in the DC area that wants to buy it :-)? I like the idea of minimizing the brick by installing a wood surround. My concern with painting the brick white is that so many people lament that treatment and the labor to remove the paint (ANY THOUGHT ON THIS CONCERN?). I will post final pictures! Thanks everyone! P.S. any comment on the questions I capitalized would be much appreciated. Here is a link that might be useful: photobucket pictures
