    Flash Problems in IE

    I cant play most videos in Internet Explorer because it keeps asking me to download and install flash player. I have done that loadsa times, the other browsers I use dont have a problem like Google Chrome and Opera.

    Probably wouldn't hurt if mentioned which OS you are using and the version number of IE.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Also note that Flash for IE is a separate install from Flash for Opera. Chrome has Flash built in.

    People don't always ask about the PC in their sig, so it's good to confirm. You still didn't say which version of IE. 8, 9 or 10?

    Flash for Plugin browsers would be for Opera, not IE. The IE version would be something like Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX. If you don't see the ActiveX version, then you need to download and install it from the link I posted earlier.

    If that still doesn't work, download and run the Flash uninstaller. And then reinstall Flash ActiveX.
