Flash Player and IE7

MillsOnWheels · 09-10-2006, 12:20 AM

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I hope this problem hasn't been asked about either.

Ok here's my problem: I operate Windows XP Home and recently downloaded the new Internet explorer (quite sure it's NOT the beta version) and since that time I have not been able to view flash content on many sites. I have enabled my java and have re-downloaded Macromedia Flash about 100 times over to try and get it to work, but no luck. I have tried to enable different active X settings in my internet options too. Restarts after installations aren't a help either. Either I'm missing something real silly or IE 7 hates me

EDIT: Grammar.

Hi MillsOnWheels, welcome to TSF...

IE7 is not quite the finished project as yet (if it is, it's still a little buggy but still an improvement on previous builds).

However, there are also issues with websites and the latest version of Adobe Flash 9.0.16 (I think???).

Previous versions of the Flash plugin are available for testing from:
http://www.adobe.com/go/14266

Flash plugin was pretty good and seems to work with all sites I visit so it may be worth completely uninstalling the current version you have for the previous version?

If that fails, try rolling back to IE6 :)

Thanks mate, I will give it a shot.

I like IE7 but if the link you've given me doesn't work I'll have to "roll back"

Thanks for the help again and great forum.

I'm so silly for not trying it sooner but a repair did wonders and I now have my flash and IE7 working togeter

I hope that this may help anyone else if they have this problem

Cheers, Millsy.
