Thanks for the tip Bear!

I have noticed on certain streams I was advised to install Flash Player and then it always says it is installed successfully.

Anyway I've followed your tip and hopefully that will sort that!

Your welcome jephree, yeah I was having the same problem.

I've been having the same problem, but this fix didn't work for me, as I couldn't see the flash movie after the install. Any ideas?

I'm new here and not sure this is the correct place to post the question. It is, however, related to the Flash Player. I noticed about two weeks ago that I was being prompted to download the flash players on Yahoo and a few other sites. The problem was that it had previously been downloaded. I've tried the fixes suggested in the support section on the website. When I attempt to reinstall the software I receive a message that it has been successfully installed. Nevertheless the sites requiring the flash plug-in still fail to display the content. I used the Virgin Records website because it uses a lot of flash software and have not been able to view the content. Just on a whim, I tried to check to see if I would have this problem upgrading any other software. I tried to get the most recent upgrade for Java and the same thing happens. The website verifies that I need the upgrade, allows me to download the software, but then indicates that it STILL needs to be installed. I'm usually pretty technologically saavy, but this is beyond me.

I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I am using Internet Explorer 7 (I've checked all settings and they conform to those needed to download and use the Flashplayer), and recently upgrade my Windows Media Player 11 and experienced a lot of issues with licenses for downloaded content, etc., etc. These were finally resolved after talking with a technician over the telephone at Walmart Music. I am wondering if any of these "upgrades" have perhaps screwed up my registry? I'm at my wits end. Sorry for the long FIRST POST!

FYI, Flash 9.0.28.0 has been released, which also fixes some crashes!
Also, J2SE(TM) Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10 has been released, which should also fix some (Java-related) crashes.

Both will fix many errors.

Thanks for your reply. For the Flash problem, I uninstalled it. Restarted the computer and reinstalled the player. Right now it is working fine. My fear is what happens when I have to shutdown and restart the computer. As far as the Java problem is concerned, I used the page to test my software and was informed that I have the latest version installed. Hopefully, things will be well with the PC for a while! Once again, thanks for the assistance!

I'm back. Another question: The fix that you gave me concerning reintalling the flash player works. However, if I turn off the computer, I have to reinstall everything. I found that out this morning as I was trying to view videos on MSNBC's website. Any other suggestions as to why this might be happening? Anything you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Hi AWHarrisjr

What exactly is it that you have to reinstall repeatedly?

Were you having any problems before this with IE?
When did you upgrade to IE7 and has it been running well, ever?
