Adobe Flash Player 10 not working
Hi everyone, I've just registered and am hoping someone out there will have the answer to my problem.
I have a Dell Precision M6400 Workstation with a Windows 7 32 bit OS and IE 8. I bought the machine last October so not that long ago. browser wise I have IE 8, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. Initially all movies and video clips were working fine in all of the browsers on sites such as youtube however in IE 8 sometimes the video clips would stop working. I resorted to simply restarting the pc which solved the problem. Anyway earlier today it happened again, I thought 'this can't be right on a fairly new machine especially not on one as powerful as mine'.
So I searched around on the net for a solution and saw someone suggesting uninstalling Flash Player 10 and reinstalling it from the Adobe site. I did this and now video clips won't play at all on any website in IE 8. When I tried Firefox I had a promt to download the Flash Player Active X plug in, and that solved the issue in Firefox. I've tried loads of suggestions such as renaming files in the Macromedia/Flash folder in the System32 folder, unchecking Internet Explorer 8 in 'Programs and Features' accessed through the control panel but nothing will work.
I would really like to resolve this issue as soon as possible. If anyone has any bright ideas please share them with me I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance.
