I can´t access http://www.voom.com but am asked to install flash.
When I try to access
http://www.samsungusa.com/cgi-bin/nabc/campaign/voom/b2c_sweeps_voom.jsp
I´m asked to install viewpoint media player plugin.
Which Flash Plugin do you use, the latest? 
See Help Menu or type about:plugins into the location bar.
Is Viewpoint Media Player installed?
Is Java used on that pages?

Flash 7.0 r19 plug-in is installed.  When accessing link through www.voom.com I
never get to the point of being requested to load the Viewpoint Media Player,
the browser crashes before that happens.  I am unsure about Jave being used on
the page.

I get a "promotion has ended" page and no crash. I suspect this was the known
viewpoint crasher but without a functional testcase, we just can't tell. 

Worksforme with 1.7 beta on windows XP.
