Question

I have a Windows 7 64bit OS and Internet Explorer 64bit.  I tried to view the video from this URL: http://www.space.com/16249-air-force-x37-b-landing-video-comments.html , but kept getting the prompt that "You need to update your Flash Player".  I've installed and uninstalled the subject player about 3 or 4 times.  It gives the the "installation successful" prompt, but it's not working.  I was going to try to install Flash Player 10, but it's not compatible.  Any suggestions?

The application is listed on my Control Panel/Programs and features.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Adobe Forums,

    I assume that you are using Internet Explorer Version 9, please make sure ActiveX Filtering is not checked.

    1) Launch IE9

    2) Click on Tools and if ActiveX Filtering is checked, click on it again.

    3) Close IE9

    4) Launch IE 9 and access that same URL again you mentioned on your Post

    Hope this helps !!

    Thanks,

    Vikram

    I saw the video you mentioned using the latest Flash Player without issues.

    Could you please see the following page and let us know what you see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

    Thanks,

    The past 2 weeks I have downloaded, installed & removed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX about 50 times.  It still does not work.  I have 5 month old ThinkPad E520, Win 7 64bit, IE9.  I unchecked ActiveX in IE; I went down the detailed Internet option settings re: enabling script, etc.  Closed out IE & watched it "download & install".

    Still doesn't work ..... frustrating?  Absolutely.  I have poured hours into trying to figure this out.

    On my "Control Panel" it still shows:  "Flash Player (32 bit)" separately.  Then, under 'Programs & Features' it shows "Adobe Flash Drive ActiveX".  The 'Program & Features' section is where the programs are listed & allows one to uninstall them.

    I am at a loss as to what the solution is?
