  1. Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
  2. If you see an animation playing, then Flash Player is enabled.
  3. If you don’t see an animation playing, then Flash Player is not enabled. In that case, click on the Tools icon in the top right corner of Internet Explorer. (The icon looks like a cogwheel.)
  4. In the drop-down menu which appears, click Manage Add-Ons.
  5. In the dialog which appears, select Toolbars and Extensions.
  6. In the list of Add-ons, look for “Shockwave Flash Object” – which is another name for Flash Player.
  7. In the Status column, check to see whether Shockwave Flash Object is Disabled. If it is, click the row for Shockwave Flash Object to highlight it.
  8. In the bottom right corner of the Manage Add-ons dialog, click the Enable button.
  9. Close the Manage Add-ons dialog.
  10. Click Refresh to reload the webpage. If you see the animation playing this time, then Flash Player has been successfully enabled.

thanks Vijay for the fast reply.. already enabled but I wanted to open an animation from my thumbdrive and it says "cant open this file"... followed by:

1) use the web service to find the correct program - it suggested AFP, installed but still cannot play

2) select a program from a list of installed programs - installed AFP, but cant locate it

Try turning off ActiveX filtering in internet explorer settings.
