Ok, so i have installed the latest flash player but its still not working on sites likes e4.com/skins, the videos there will not play. This is weird because ive watched videos on the site before.

Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the app adobe gives u to completely remove it but nothing is working. Ive checked that the flash player has installed properly by checking on the adobe website and everything is working fine. The add ons are all enabled and so on.

The video on the website loads with a black screen where the video should be but nothing happens.

This is getting very annoying, help would be nice.

I am on windows vista and im using internet explorer 8. The videos also dont work on safari or firefox even though i have got flash player for those browsers. Ive tried scanning my computer to see if i have any virusis but bit defender says im clean.

    Ran into this problem just last  night.

    For me, the problem was the personal firewall options in CA  software (anti-virus, etc software) that caused the problem.  I had to turn off the ad/pop-up blocker which is located under the  privacy option within CA.  Once I did that, I could go to the Adodbe Flash Player  Test site (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)  and I saw the animation without a hitch..

    So, if you have an ad blocker, my advice would be to turn it off completely and try the Adobe test site.  Turning off all the ad blocking was the only way I could get the flash player to work.  Hope you get your player to  work.

    Hi, Using IE find "View and manage your internet explorer add-ons">all add-ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object...

    ActiveX Control....Flash10d.ocx and ensure that it is enabled.

    In FF, look for SWF vs 10.0.42.34 and ensure that it is enabled.

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash.  Open the Flash folder and post back every entry that is listed there.

    In Programs and Features post back the Java entries with version #'s and while you are there just note that Flash Player 10 ActiveX is listed.

    If you have any questions or need info to obtain the Flash folder info, just post back.

    Thanks,

    eidnolb
