I use Firefox 1.0.7 and IE 6.0 and usually they run fine and I never have any issues, up until recently when I had to reinstall windows. I redownloaded IE and Firefox and for some reason, I cannot download the newest version of JSE or Macromedia Flash for Firefox. Flash just does nothing, it says it's installing but vanishes and I am unable to visit websites such as artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/ When I try to install the latest Java, it says 'Preparing to install...' but simply hangs there. I've tried downloading them both in IE and in Firefox and I've still had absolutely no luck.

Also, I don't know if this has to do with my computer, but I understand there have been some issues with photobucket earlier this month and for some reason, photobucket images are unable to load on my computer in both browers, and the site does not load for me either. The same issue goes for yousendit.com, megaupload.com and so on. It's becoming extremely frustrating and I have no idea what to do in order to fix these problems. Any help at all would be extremely wonderful because I use photobucket, and yousendit on a daily basis and being without them is a pain in the backside.
