Can't use flash with IE7

This question was asked in Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
I joined in the question but there have not been any real
responses as yet. I hope that this NG can provide the answers.

I have IE 7 running under XP Professional with SP2 and all
updates but NOT SP3. When I try to view videos, I get the
message that I have Javascript turned off or I don't have the
latest flash player.

I went to Adobe's site to install flash, I ran the installer and
got no indication that anything went wrong with the installation.
However, I still can't view the videos.

I have the following settings in IE7 for Internet, Trusted sites
and Restricted sites:-

<disable> Display video and animation on a webpage that does not
use external media player

<enable> Scripting of Java applets

AFAIK these are the default settings.

Do I need to enable the "Display video and animation on a webpage
that does not use external media player" to be able to watch the
videos?

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is blocking viewing the
videos if it is not this setting?

No, you only need that item enable if the site is using the "dynsrc" image
tag to embed the Video file.

It sound like the Flash Player is not installing properly on your machine
you might try the following to the Flash Player installed properly.

1. Download the Flash Player Uninstaller utility and save it to your
Desktop:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...ash_player.exe

2. Download the manual Flash Player Installer program from the following
Adobe link and save it to your Desktop:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie

3. Disconnect from the Internet and temporarily disable any Real Time
Antivirus software running in the background.

4. Run the Flash Player Uninstaller Utility from the Desktop to completely
remove Flash from your system.

5. Run the manual Flash Player Installer program from the Desktop to
install the latest version of the Flash Player to your system.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

Donald--I'm having the same issue--but I have SP3 installed. Would that have
an impact too?

Service Pack level does not make any difference with regard to the
Uninstall||Reinstall Flash Player instructions I posted.

Good Luck,
