Question

Flash Loads but "submit" or "continue" functions don't work.

FP 10.1.82.76 installed ok. IE8 XP SP3.  Checked IE security settings are set correctly to "medium" and "scripting" allowed.  Checked AddOn settings also.

When I go to websites such as http://files.hyfn.s3.amazonaws.com/skyy/go_natural.html I am allowed to fill in the form, but the submit button is dead.

A similiar issue occurs at http://disney.go.com/partners/rockyourlunch/ (daughter is a JB fan, wants to enter contest!!!!!).  Site loads just fine and I am allowed to enter upc 7294570544 and then "click to enter".  The next screen that loads should be an account login, but the box just sits empty.

I have also reset IE8 defaults and uninstalled/reinstalled FP.  Issue persists.  I also have FF and above pages are experiencing same problems.

The account that I surf web from is a non-admin account for security purposes.  Have set to admin priv - still same issues.

I do have a primary admin account - these pages work correctly for that user, but for the life of me I cannot pinpoint why FP won't work for this user. Possible registry settings??

Thank you for any help.

    Sorry, not 'bumping" just thought of something -

    my "startup" process has been pretty thoroughly

    vetted by my teenager - perhaps something is missing or disabled for this account?

    thanks, harrydoodlemom

    Hi, figured out the answer finally.  By changing the global settings to "allow 3rd party Flash to store on your computer" and "store commom Flash components to reduce download times" issue is solved. This was a pain to figure out, hope it helps someone else out!    Harrydoodlemom

    Hi, I just read your thread. So many different things to check, glad you were able to find that setting. I'm surprised that the websites didn't pop up the small window asking you to allow or deny that access. Perhaps you had your Settings to "never ask again".

    I agree those Settings are a pain:-) Whenever I read them for myself or other users, I'm always glad I didn't have to write the instructions

    Thanks for posting back your solution.
