[GarrettWayne]

Hello, and Thanks for your Time,

I am running win. xp home,  

32  service pk 2  IE-8

I was running flash player 9 and all was good,

Then I get this notice that said,

upgrade to the latest version of flash player,

everything Downloaded just fine, the problem is,

Flash 10 works great in Firefox but not at all in explorer.

So then I ran the uninstall utility, rebooted reinstalled

Flash and rebooted again, same problem. Then I went

to system security and set it to Medium.

went to active x and set it all to enable, Java is also on enable,

and still no flash for explorer, can someone Please Help me

If you go to the "manual downloads page" http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ there are two installers for XP/Vista/7etc.

Choose the one for Internet Explorer, run it, and see if that helps.

Thanks for trying,

but that is the download link

for the one that is not working.

But that's why I suggested it.

There are TWO plugins.

One for other browsers... which you said is working.

The other... IE... which isn't wroking... should be downloaded and installed... or reinstalled.

Before you do that though, run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the installer files.

THEN reinstall the player for IE.

Sorry, Let me try this again,

From my First Post,

The link you posted is the same one I used

I reran the uninstall and reinstalled them both

again, with the same problem,

flash works in chrome,  and firefox but not in Explorer,

I Have no clue ? 🙂

Hi Garrett, Using IE, check in Manage add ons (all add ons) and make sure Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control ...

Flash10e.ocx(version 10.0.45.2) is listed and enabled. Post back if anything different is listed or if there is no Shockwave Flash Object.

You need to run as Administrator in order to have permission/authority to download the ActiveX Control that Flash Player installs and also to write to the Windows Registry. I'm not saying you don't, just a FYI in case you didn't use that account.

Also go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash   Right click on the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.

Are you using any ad-block or pop-up blocker software?

What Anti-Virus do you use?

Just asking some questions, etc to try to find out why you are having problems with IE.

Thanks,
