Question

Everything works in other browsers but in IE11 Flash doesn't work. Tried all possible solutions but problem is still there. Any other solutions?

Internet Explorer 11. Windows 8.1 ; 64-bit. Latest Flash Player 20.0.0.235. Also latest Shockwave player and Java. ActiveX filtering is off. Plug-in is installed and active (Shockwave Flash Object - 32 and 64-bit). Adobe website confirms that everything is installed and working.

When trying to play online games I get the message that the plug-in is needed or that I need to update my Flash Player (example game : Biolabs Outbreak - Speel Online Gratis Spelletjes op Spelletjes.nl).

Games work just fine on other browsers.

Any other solutions for this problem besides the ones that are proposed over and over again?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11

    Hey,

    I tried it on another computer with the same specs and it works fine on that computer. So the problem seems to be something on my computer that isn't installed correctly or something. I removed and then reinstalled Flash, Shockwave and Java, but it still won't work. I have absolutley no idea what is wrong :-(. I'll try reinstalling IE11 and see if that works.

    Here's my standard IE11 advice:

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
