Looks like version 9 is the latest version at the adobe site, so it is unlikely you have an out of date version. I seem to recall there was some update to IE6 that affected flash in some manner, try checking for new updates to IE, and reinstall flash.

This is from the DBB.COM site. I read this along time ago.

Last week i notice that when i go to the DBB there is a dotted line around the flash logo..No wait...every site i go to that has flash..and all the sites that i have created...all have a dotted line around em..Im like..wtf do i have a virus?...I run all my webroot and symantec software...still there..

Come to find out..Microsoft lost a lawsuit with regards to embeding and while they appeal..they included this new "feature" in IE that the user CANNOT turn off...

So..my heart starts pounding..because flash is what i do for a living..and i can see it all now.."we dont want flash on our site"..

Anyone else getting this dotted line around flash in IE?

I do some investigation and find out there is a work around for developers....some java that will detect the flash and embed it without microsofts bull★■◆● plugin update...

Next thing that comes to mind is "Cha Ching!" Now im ahead of the game again! Tons of flashers will be scrambling to impliment this fix...And tons more will be lost..as they only know flash and dont really know the webpage side of the game. More action for me!

So yeah...about the DBB logo. If you use IE and are seeing a dotted line around the logo sit tight..Im going to try and fix that asap.

Thanks Krom/Aus
I tryed reinstalling the flash and went and got the xp updates. Belarc Adviser reports all present, messed around with a few other, kinda would seem to be relevant items also to no avail, so maybe it is the same issue you posted Aus.
bummer ,aw well, Ill hang in there and/or keep lookin round,maybe a patch will come out soon or something.
Thanks Guys
