Flash 9 Installed but not detected

Report · Oct 30, 2006

I have installed flash player 9 on my computer. according to adobe's website it's installed however any time i go to a website requiring flash it says that i need to download flash player 9. i have tried to uninstall and reinstall several times yet the same symptoms occur. the weird thing is that there are two user accounts on my computer. one of them has no problem with flash and the other account does. i've tried setting up a new user account to see if flash would work on another account and it will not. all of the user accounts have administrator rights. i am really confused at this point and don't know what else to try. i am also running ie7 and this problem didn't start until i downloaded ie7. it seems that there are a lot of people out there having trouble with flash 9 and ie7. i have tried to email adobe about the issue but i have not heard back from them. does anyone have any suggestions. thanks for your help in advance!

I want to add that I have the same problem with IE7 and flash 9. If I want to see a page that requires flash, I have to use my firefox 5.0. Adobe, please let us know when there is a fix.

Thanks for the fix. no it work good too with IE7

abraxas_365,

"Well, I have figured out that it is just youtube.com... but not youtube videos on other sites.

That is to say that I cannot watch youtube.com files ON youtube.com, but if the videos are imported onto other sites, I don't have a problem. Music videos and other media are working... but youtube.com isn't. Can anyone help. PLEASE! OR JUST SHOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM!

Sheesh. "

I wonder if the embed code on those other sites was using the <object> tags or not. Removing <object> tags seems to solve the problem in IE. This is not an issue in any other browser.

I tried everything that was suggested on this forum. Nothing seemed to work. However, just recently I downloaded an upgrade for Mozilla Firefox. When I did that my videos starting working on I.E. Hope this helps others.

How did you add version 9? I can't find anything except 10, which is incompatible w/my work program!

Just follow the guide.
