Can anyone tell me how to install a ceiling light fixture? I bought one of
those flush mounted fixtures, and for the life of me cannot figure out how
to get the darn thing mounted. The problem is, in order to install the
base, you have to screw it into the socket in the ceiling. But then the
wires, on the fixture, get twisted around the screw to the point that you
can on longer twist the light fixure anymore.

You never twist wires around, in the process. Take some pictures or describe
in detail, the parts of the fixture and what's on the ceiling (electrical
box)

I had the same problem... went from store to store buying different
parts, threaded pipe, round casing etc. to enable me to (re)install the
fixture. There was a round hole and a 1/2 inch square bar that ran
across the middle of it, along with the wires, one black and one white.
I finally got it up, and it hasn't fallen yet.... more then a month,
but I still have my fingers crossed. (smile) It looks like it should be
so EASY.......
