Jonathan,
Hi. Yes this started as a result of a Microsoft Patch (KB912945).
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...2945/en-us
Users can remove the automatic patch directly from their computer using add/remove programs and we are also looking into alternative methods of rendering the flash application using javascript which we hope will end the madness with our module as least 
I believe Microsoft sold the patch as a security fix but the truth is that its related to a patent with a company called Eolas Technology (http://www.betanews.com/article/Mic...141233576) .
I think we all need to call Eolas and say, ok you guys won your lawsuit now, can you please let Microsoft not enforce this anymore because its affecting a lot users on any web site using flash!
