I installed Google toolbar recently (February 2008, as I see posts here are not dated as on other forums).
Every time I open Internet explorer, a "Flap" comes down top left corner, thanking me for installing it. I have to cclose the flap before anything else works. This proves so annoying I'm thinling og uninstalling the toolbar.
Anyone know how to get rid of the flap?

I tried hard with Firefox.
But there must be a defect in my system, because it needs a plug-in to run Java.
A jigsaw piece appears and says "Install plug-in?" so I click it. After a while it says "Plug-in installed" or some such. Back to the site:
"You need a plug-in. Install?" "yes"; "Installed"; "you need a plug-in",
So after a month of visiting Sun's website, and half my (then) download limit, I gave upand returned to IE.
Same problem on the other machine, running Ubuntu 7.10
Maybe my AVG thinks Java's a virus and blocks it, maybe Windows Firewall hates it, but all other updates and on-line installs have gone well.
As a student I was asked "What is the commonest cause of failure in carrying out this procedure?"
I answered with a list of possibilities"
"No! Incompetence, Fisher, incompetence!"
BTW, I later became the "top gun" at that procedure.
