Why doesnt Flash work on my PC in IE7?


Recommended Posts

I think I already tried this but Ill try anyways. Thanks :)

No worries. Try doing that and then close and restart internet explorer. If that still doesn't work, clear cookies and cache, close interet explorer, and restart your computer. :)

If you are still receiving the JavaScript error when you have it enabled, you should try completely uninstalling the Flash Player, and then reinstalling the most recent version.

For instructions about how to "completely" uninstall a Flash Player, see this Adobe Help article (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157).

If you don't have a Flash player installed or you have just uninstalled the Flash player, download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player, which is available at the Adobe Flash Player Download Center (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash).

If you have tried both of those steps above are still having issues playing videos, try clearing the browser cache and cookies on your computer.

:)

BTW, did you clear your cache and cookies this way?

1. Click ?Start? and select ?Control Panel?.

(Note: With Windows XP Classic View click the Windows ?Start? button and select ?Settings? and ?Control Panel?).

2. Open the ?Internet Options? icon.

3. Click the ?General? tab if it isn't selected already.

4. Click the ?Delete? button.

5. Under the heading "Temporary Internet files," click ?Delete Files?.

6. Click ?OK? to exit.

Stop. Your problem isn't IE7. It's Vista. Adobe says that they've made flash compatible with Vista but it in actually does not install, even though it says it does. You have to find the actual installer and "Run as Administrator". I think it was in program files\macromed or someplace. If I remember I will try to find it tonight at home.

I think I searched around their site and found a standalone installer. I tried "Install As Admin" but it still does not work.

Computer user permissions

User permissions determine whether or not you are allowed to install ActiveX controls or plug-ins. If you don't have Administrator access to Windows NT, 2000, XP, or Vista you may not be able to install Flash Player successfully. Administrative privileges are required for the Windows system registry and for the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.

I have the same problem. I'll install it and it works perfectly fine for a while then suddenly will stop working. I downloaded the Flash uninstaller from Adobe's site to completely remove it then I had to go back and re-install it.

I use XP and Vista so it's not a Vista only issue. I think it has something to do with IE 7. It's been doing that on my system since the last version of IE 7 before it went final. I reported it a few times on Microsoft's newsgroups and I saw others reporting the same problem, but it went ignored.

I hate how it randomly does it and it has me using Firefox a little more often.
