Vista/IE7

[Mandin62]

Ok i am not sure if this is vista or IE7 that is causing the problem. The problem is with IE7 but I dont know if it is a vista thing or what. I am unable to watch any flash movies such as google video, nbc, anything that flash driven. I have downloaded flash several times and it never fixes anything. Is the problem with flash or with IE7 or Vista? It is rather frustrating as now i dont have anyway to waste time except play Supreme Commander. Thanks for your help.

Try disabling the Pop Up Blocker on those sites and see if it will play.
Quite often that is the case ... also if you go to the Adobe page there
is a link there that will test your Flash Player .. if that works ok, the
Flash Player and IE7 are working fine

Are you running 64 bit? Flash doesn't work on 64 bit IE or 64 bit Firefox unfortunately.

Installing flash on 64 bit Windows is also a little bit of extra work. This should also work on 32 bit Vista as well..

Run the file Flashutil9B as administrator, and everything will work.

hello, i also had problems re-installing flash too. i think i deleted it during disk cleanup, on xp.

you need to uninstall flash properly before you can install it again.

you need to download Macromedia Flash Player Uninstaller from here:

then re-install flash again.

flash works. it installs and does it little demo thing on adobe's site. and it work fine with flash banners and other things on the web. but when i go to watch a clip on google or ign it asks me to install flash or it just shows up with the box and a red X in the left corner.
