Problems with Flash Player With IE?

Question

I am very desperate for help. All of a sudden for no reason Flash Player quit working under IE. The one under Firefox is OK. When I am at my main Yahoo screen and select play video it says that Flash Player is not installed. It tries to install it three time and fails. I have looked at what other people have tried and nothing seems to work. I have down loaded both the programs to remove Flash Player and downloaded the program to allow me to install Flash player from my desk top without IE being up. When I run the clean program it worked fine. I even made sure all the directories and files were gone. I then booted the PC to make sure the programs were not in memory. I checked Install/Remove and it was not there. I then installed Flash Player using the file I down loaded. I checked and the files were there and everything looked great. I go in to Yahoo again and it sill says Flash player is not installed. I have worked on this for two days and I have tried everything I can of.
Could someone please help?

Answer 1

This is a security feature of Windows. You need to go to



\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash



and run



FlashUtil9b.exe



as an administator. You do that by right-clicking on the file and select "Run As Adminstrator". Obviously, you need to have Administrator privileges to do this.

Answer 2

Make sure you have not disabled something in IE.



Internet Options>Advanced Tab>

Click "Restore advanced settings"

=================================

You must use the Adobe uninstaller (see web page below) before reinstalling flash player.

JAVA



Current version is 6 Update2. Update Java or download at

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

for Firefox

http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp



In add/remove programs remove all but the latest version of Java. Old versions are a security risk. Then Go to Program Files\Java remove directories of older versions. (jre1.5.0_08, jre1.5.0_09, etc.)



Check to make sure you are not running Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft Java, no longer supported and should be removed).

Now to enable Java:



Internet Explorer:

Internet Options>Advanced Tab> Scroll down to Java

Make sure "Use Java X.XXX for ..." box is checked



Firefox:

Tools > Options > Content > Check all four boxes
