Access IBM inop

I just noticed that Access IBM is inop. When I hit the button the screen pops up with a .wav but not of the buttons seem to work.

This is a new to me but used T40 with XP Pro.

Thanks

I had the same problem, which I solved by restoring my system to the
state it was in before I installed the two Adobe Flash upgrades offered
to me by System Update.

Good old Rescue and Recovery came to my rescue.

I mentioned my problem with Access IBM, and then how I solved it, on the
ThinkPad Mailing List, and someone commented that Flash couldn't have
caused it, but I'm not going to re-install those upgrades to prove
whether or not they were at the root of the problem.

Is there anyway to remove the flash without the recovery or system redo?

Well, you can try Add or Remove Programs on the Control Panel, and if
that doesn't work, Adobe has a Flash removal program available on their
web site.

But you DO NOT want to do that, because the Flash stuff is needed. What
you want is its earlier version. Maybe you can find it on the Lenovo web
site.
