Question

Some flash content (like flash player settings) not visible

Hello,

I am running the newest versions of Flash Player in both FireFox 3.6 and IE8 on Windows XP Pro.

I can see most Flash things (like this page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ which in both browsers says "You have version 10,0,45,2 installed"). Several things do not appear. For instance, none of the Settings Panel windows show up. Also, some Facebook apps do not work (i.e. Pet Society) while others by the same vendor (i.e. Crazy Planets) work fine.

Both browsers behave the same. I cannot see the settings windows in either one.

I have run the uninstaller, and re-installed Flash several times.

I'll be grateful for whatever help can be provided.

Hi, the first thing to check in IE is the add ons. Look for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure Flash10e.ocx is there and it is enabled.

In FF, look for the plug-ins and SWF to see if it lists vs 10.0.45.2 and it is enabled.

Both must be there since they work with the Flash Player files.

Thanks,

Thanks for checking all of those things Wags. On that Java entry, it is an ActiveX control in my add ons. Maybe Java changed something. I don't think it's important, just curious.

Well, supper time! Be back on later:-)

Hi Wags, sorry for the delay, but as it happens sometimes I had several threads posting back info I had requested.

Let's take inventory on what we have and just where we are.

What I would like to do is get FP installed in IE, and Java. I have all of your add ons that you listed for me including the new ones. Thank you.

Now I would like to get FP and Java working in IE and put FF on the back burner for now.

I am somewhat concerned about Java. Here is what I would like you to do. Go to this Java test site:

http://www.java.com/en/ Click on "Do I have Java" Make note of the results. Right below that it says "Test your Virtual Machine" Do that also and make note of the results.

Also I need you to check the Flash folder and post back the files installed, in IE

Confirm that SWO is installed in the add ons as 10.0.45.2 and enabled, in IE

I know it seems as I am asking for the same info, but with so many changes I need to have a foundation on which to proceed and need to know what it is. It gets too confusing to try to work with the IE and FF browsers at the same time.

Thanks,

eidnolb

Thank you! I have the same exact problem, although via testing, it shows that I have Flash latest installed.

On the settings page, it says sth like: This requires Flash & under install Flash Player!

I am also running XP & latest Firefox.

Also, dosn't work on some places.

Hope someone answers!
