    flash content in IE

    Hi all. Having problems loading flash content in IE on a 32 bit vista machine, but the same websites & flash content load fine in firefox on same machine. Here is what I have tried so far:
    • remove and reinstall flash latest version
    • made sure flash plugin is enabled
    • disabled all AV/malware sofware and plugins
    • cleared internet & flash cache
    • upgraded from IE7 to IE8
    • used IE's reset function
    Any suggestions to get this working again please? Thanks!

    Re: flash content in IE

    Hello tinyang and welcome to the forums

    Well you've tried most of the things I usually suggest, but I've got a few more:

    Firstly, try upgrading to IE9:

    Internet Explorer - Microsoft Windows

    Secondly, try running a SFC scan:

    SFC Scan

    1. Open the start menu
    2. In the search box, type cmd
    3. Right click on cmd and select Run as administrator
    4. In command prompt, type:

      sfc /scannow

    5. Let it run and let me know if it finds any Integrity Violations

    Hi Tom and thanks for your reply. I did run the system file checker and it did not have any integrity violations. It did say that 'found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them'.

    Before I try going to IE9 (which has not been approved for production machines in our corp environment yet), I need to ask why that would fox the problem if going from ie 7 to ie 8 did not fix the problem?

    Thanks.

    Re: flash content in IE

    Okay, can you do step 1 in the yellow box of this tutorial please:

    System Files - SFC Command

    Then attach the sfcdetails.txt with your next post please

    I don't know, but it's worth a try, and it's good to have the most updated browser installed

    Re: flash content in IE

    No problem, glad that I'm able to help you

    That's normal, for some reason the sidebar always shows up like that

    I would suggest removing any version of Flash Player you have installed with RevoUninstaller:

    Revo Uninstaller Pro - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs easily

    Let it clean up all of the files and registry keys it finds in its scan

    Then use TFC to clean out your temp files:

    3. Clear Temp Files

    • Download TFC (By OldTimer), to your desktop.
    • Save any open documents, then close any active programs/windows
    • Right click on the file, and select Run As Administrator
    • When it opens, click Start to being the process
    • A reboot is required upon completion of this, if this is not done by TFC then do so manually

    And then install the latest version of Flash player

    Would CrapCleaner work? I tried to download TFC and my firwall blocked it because of 'Emold.U (Worm)'
