ha! yes, probably you had to do this to refresh the library if it was already
in memory (init 1, enter, ctrl-d would have been faster though)

dont click on the ads? ;) not sure - i never actually had the need for that....
an 'external popup flash window' would be, in most cases, a browser window , so
you should be covered here. Maybe it's a video.google flash? (or something
using the *same* tech so it also fails? I've found a few that die... but the
ones @ flash.com all worked fine.
