I've FINALLY figured out after spending the entire day on it. Simply
clear the cache. If you have internet explorer, just:
*Select "Tools | Internet Options..." from the main menu
*Change to the "General" tab
*Click on "Delete Files" button
TIP: If you have stored web pages for offline viewing, check
"Delete all offline content"
That solved everything!
Link for this if you have a browser other than Internet Explorer:

Thanks to all the others on your tips too. At the very least, I got the new Flash player for my troubles.
