I installed the update 10.5.3 and also the security update and now when I try to enter a flash page on the net that is required to access phone lines, and now it's impossible. Before the update all was fine, and now I can't access that page... how can I reverse the update, or uninstall it. I need help on this issue because it is messing up with my job tasks right now! thanx

There was no separate security update for 10.5. What exactly did you install there? I'm also not sure how a flash page (is that a web page with Flash?) can access phone lines. Please clarify.

Archive & Install will allow you to return to a previous system version.

I don't know what that web page was, but that's a Flash object. Try reinstalling the latest Flash and see if that fixes it.

I know it's a Flash Page, Before the update I was able to see that page and interact with it, now all I can do is look at the login window and nothing more... It's not a public webpage, it is a page(url number) that the radio station that I work give me to control the phone lines, and now it's out of control after the update, all my co-workers that use Macs had that problem after the update, the ones that use Tiger OS did a security update and ended like me. so it's most be something about the updater... please help me here..

Oh.. BTW I re-install the Flash and Shockwave Plugin and nothing happens

Try reverting to the previous version of Flash. It's in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Use Time Machine to go back. Note that this will be a security risk. Alternatively try the new Flash 10 beta.

This is actually probably a problem caused by an update to Flash which included new security model that prevents flash from running using local content unless you have given it permission to do so.

maybe... but where you go to giive permission? Even the Station's Engineer doesn't know where to go!

Do you think it's a good advice to use time machine and reinstall old flash version again?

UPDATE:

I was able to look for the "Internet-Plugins" Folder on a brand new Macbook that hasn't been updated yet and put that folder replacing the new one on my iMac and it works!!! it's definitely a Flash Plugin problem!!! thanx guys!
