Flash uploader uploads a home page screenshot instead of image?

Ok, after struggling all day with the flash uploader, I reinstalled WP, running 2.8.4.
I can upload new images using the browser version, b4 I was getting http errors when using the flash uploader. Now the flash uploader uploads a screenshot of the home page instead of the image I am selecting from my computer…I don’t see this anywhere on the forums…anyone have any ideas? Gawd…I have a headache!
