Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response.  I'm running Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1.

Hi Mike,

It appears there are a lot of discussions about Flash Player 13.0.0.182.  Are we looking at a bug in Flash Player?  Also, if my machine is 64 bit, why does Adobe default to a 32 bit install?

Thank you Mike for your help!  Shockware Flash Object was enabled but ActiveX Filtering was check marked.  After removing the check mark Flash Player started working again. 

Question, what changed?  Flash Player worked previously before the upgrade, did version 13.0.0.182 change how it works with ActiveX Filtering?

I don't even pretend to know the "ins & outs" of ActiveX and why it does what it does. I only know that it dates back to 1996 and EVERY OTHER BROWSER on earth abandoned ActiveX before 2002. Seems ridiculous to me that Microsoft would still use the same technology they used when people connected with a 1400 baud rate modem for security in the 50mbps and WiFi age.

It doesn't.  On 64-bit systems the installer will automatically install both 64-bit and 32-bit players.
