(IE 6 Flash)Im Just about to throw my computer out the window!

CptHammond · 02-18-2007, 12:03 PM

Hi, sorry about the title but my flash on my internet explorer 6 will not work!. I uninstall flash, then reinstall for around 193108 times now

. I have checked my registry keys and nothing is blocking them and my firewall is nothing to do with it(Comodo Firewall PRO) . I have emailed tech support at Adobe but I get no reply. i have had this problem for around 5months now, I cant play games on MSN but my Firefox and Opera browser run fine with flash.I try to upgrade to IE7 but that gets an error aswell, Is this fixable.

Please someone help!,

Thanks, L

Hello and Welcome to TSF

Is Java working properly?

Yeah, it seems to be working

Quit all open programs. This step is important because other programs may be using the Flash Player, and if they are, the uninstaller will fail silently.
Run the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.
Reinstall your Flash player.

Thanks, but it dident work. Any other suggestions?

It seems you may have some corrupt system files, Run the System File Checker

Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

sfc /scannow ( sfc if not reconized) (Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow)

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.

In all likelihood you will be prompted to insert the Windows XP CD.
