I can't get either shockwave or flash to install in IE7.

I'm using XP Pro SP2 with latest patch level. I'm also using both IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.5 and java 6 update 2 runtime. Both flash and shocwave work correctly in firefox, but neither works in IE7. My HK Classes Root has proper permissions, there's nothing in the Event Viewer

I too have the same problem.
I must be misunderstanding the solution as I don't see a deactivate the control selection?

Well, that is for Windows Vista. Do you have anything for Windows XP?

Hi, I've got the same problem. Every time I tried to install the flash player, I was shown the installation animation which will go on forever and have nothing installed! I have enabled all active X options in IE and even turned off my anti virus and firewall during the installation but those didn't help either. Anyone knows what is going on? Anyway, I am too using Win XP Pro SP2 with IE 7. Any help is greatly appreciated

hI,
I have found the solution.
1- Select control panel of your computer
2- Select users account
3- Select desactivate the control of the accounts user.
and it will be fine

I had the same problem of flash player installing with Modzilla but not with IE. (This is with VISTA.) I tried the recommendation to turn off account controller. It worked! After installation I turned account controller back on and it still works. Thanks, Sjeanmarie.
