Corrupt Flash Player install after IE 7 upgrade

I’ve been seeing a few mails about this since the Internet Explorer update was released, so I wanted to post some info about it to maybe help the people having issues.

The complaint generally goes something like this:

A user has Flash Player 9 (or other version) installed on their system and everything works fine with IE6. That user then runs the IE7 update and their computer stops showing Flash content on sites like YouTube or MSN video and other Flash sites. However, if the user goes to some other sites with Flash content, the content will play just fine, even if the site requires the Flash 9 Player.

I’m not sure of the official cause for this, and am still doing some research into what causes it, but a first guess I have is that when you upgrade from IE7, the browser install is not correctly reinstalling your existing Flash Plugin, so scripts that check for the Flash Player are failing, but since the plugin file is there, if you visit a site that does not use a detection script (like SWFObject) you will see the Flash content just fine.

There may not be a solution to this for the sites using detection scripts - they rely on a series of Windows registry entries that seem to be missing after an IE7 upgrade.

For users, here is a fix that seems to work well:

Quit all open programs. This step is important because other programs may be using the Flash Player, and if they are, the uninstaller will fail silently.
Run the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.
Reinstall your Flash player.

If you are still having problems after running the uninstaller and reinstalling the plugin, please post a comment with your system setup and other relevant details. (And remember, sometimes a system restart can make a difference with problems like this, so try that first).

UPDATE (1-8-2007): Added a new step 1.

I have been having this problem since I first tried IE7 beta. I have tried uninstalling back to 6, redoing SP2 and the fix you mention above. Nothing works.

System: P4 2.8

XP Pro SP2
IE7 7.0.5730
Eric Gerds 12/12/2006

Could this perhaps be the new more restrictive Security of IE7 that is causing this? The user gets a popup asking for permission to run an ActiveX control that a detection script uses. The user refuses to click OK.

This appears to be the case for some with QuickTime plugin detection. I have heard complaints about Java detection as well.

The plugins themselves can run, but instantiating certain ACtiveX controls for detection may not be pre-approved by IE7.

Wonderful.
Adam 12/12/2006

This has nothing to do with the install- Eric is correct. To accomodate IE7, web developers have had to adjust the way they display Flash on their sites. For sites that have not done this you will see a giant hole where the Flash object should be.

Yay Microsoft!
Geoff 12/12/2006

No, I’m pretty sure it’s not new security issues with the browser. This is specifically related to how the Flash Player plugin is installed and/or upgraded when you upgrade the browser.
Brent Bonet 12/15/2006

I’m on Geoff’s side on this. We’ve had the problem at my office.
Stewart 12/18/2006

The problem I have with Flash and IE7 is stranger than most posts I’ve seen to date. On the same workstation, I have one user account that works fine with Flash v9 and IE7 and one user account that does not. Both UA are admin level and appear to be have the same permissions. The UA that does not run Flash continually receive prompts from sites like XM Radio, GM, etc requesting the user to download the latest Flash version from Adobe and if you do that Adobe will respond with a positive confirmation that the latest has been downloaded.

I have tried to completely rid myself of all Flash versions by using the recommended uninstaller, restarting the machine and downloading the latest Flash version. All appears to be good but when you try one of the sites needing Flash using the UA that wouldn’t run Flash before you still end up with the same download request from the site. Thoughts or help on this would greatly appreciated.
Rick 12/20/2006

I even tried going back to Flash version 8 and still have the same problem. Seems that as long as I don’t close out the browser things are great. Once I close it, I have to uninstall and reinstall.

Frank 12/21/2006

I have this problem as well, it is driving me crazy.
Followed all the instructions for removing/installing flash, didn’t work.
Also set flash player and shockwave permissions in the registry for all users,
Ran an ‘upgrade’ from the WinXP x64 OS setup disk and nothing is working.
I hope there is a solution for this soon; our clients use a flash app for support and I cannot use our app to send feedback to them as it uses the swfobject script.
So now I’m left with using a laptop with my computer.
phan 12/21/2006

I do have the same problem just like Stewart. 2 identical computers, one running fine with flashplayer, the other won’t. Both machine have WindowXP SP2, IE7.

I believe the problem is with Flash Player 9.0. With previous versions of Flash Player, the various Flash registry keys were automatically set up with a range of permissions. One of our machines running 8.0 has these permissions. With FP 9.0, these registry keys are set up so that the ONLY account that has ANY permissions whatsoever is the administrator account used to install it. In other words, Flash Player 9.0 can only be used effectively by the Windows XP Pro SP2 account used to install it. I just spent 3 hours proving it. Where is Adobe on this?
Jerry 12/29/2006

One further comment. Once you’ve installed Flash Player 9.0, you have to use Adobe’s uninstall program on the user account used to install it, or those Flash registry keys with limited permissions don’t get removed, and subsequent attempts to reinstall FP 9.0 don’t work. I was able to uninstall it for one administrator account, and then install it on another administrator account and got it to work on that account - but no other. Am sticking with 8.0 on other PCs.

Solved it, i uninstalled IE7 which returned IE6 and then used firefox for everything except the small handfull of sites that have not changed to work with firefox

Peter 01/05/2007

This has been annoying me for a while now as I have had Flash9 running in IE at home with no problems and then on my work laptop it was totally f’d up…I just used the adobe flash uninstaller to completely uninstall it and then downloaded the full flash 9 player installer msi and now I have flash 9 running in ie7 like a charm. I downloaded the msi at http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html. Hope this helps anyone else who this was a problem for.
Jason 01/11/2007

I have a similar problem with intermittent Flash Player operation. So far, all Flash websites seem to work with the exception of Google Finance (which of course is the one I need the most). Google Finance uses Flash to display charts, news flags, splits, et. The problem goes like this… Google Finance works fine for about a day or two, then the various flags stop appearing. I use the Flash uninstaller, restart the PC, reinstall the player, and it works fine again for a few days. Every couple days I have to go through this process. I never see any errors or obvious signs of corruption. This started once I upgraded from IE6 to IE7. I am running WinXP SP2, IE7 (everything was fine with IE6 by the way). Today I will attempt to install with the .msi instead of through the Adobe site…
AndyJM 01/14/2007

I am experiencing a problem whereby flash videos do not display and websites like Youtube and Google Video do not display properly at all, this is after installing IE7, and I have Flash player 9, I have tried unistalling both Flash and IE7 and still doesnt work. I am running XP SP2 (and using the account which was used to install Flash.)
AndyJM 01/14/2007

UPDATE: Just installed latest version of Firefox which I had never used before, on opening Youtube.com I was prompted to install “missing Flash plugins” the site displays perfectly but still nothing in IE7. I think may be abondoning IE once and for all as there was another slight problem which I overlooked, that in several websites after loading the message in the status bar would read “done, but with errors on page” and some content did not appear.
rsr1 01/16/2007

I was having the same probem since updating to IE7. I just fixed it. I had to unistall Flash with the uninstaller exe. I downloaded Flash plug in 7 from the Adobe site. It installed fine. Then I updated the player and now Flash 9 works. It only took me forever to figure it out.
Tweaking the registry didn’t help at all in a previous attempt..
Curtis J. Morley 01/16/2007

Does anyone have examples of sites that are doing this? I have found this true on http://www.directpointe.com. If anyone with this issue can verify that this is happening for them it would help. I have also found one case in IE6 Flash9.

There should be a lady talking to you in the main masthead for the site. Please let me know what you find.
Geoff 01/16/2007

Curtis: This isn’t really a problem with specific websites, it’s a problem with certain people’s Flash Player installs.
Curtis J. Morley 01/17/2007

One thing that might help everyone with this issue - I found that the machines that are having problems do not have administrative privileges.

So the question is if so many people are having this issue what can we do about it for the users/viewers that we can not send through the whole uninstall/reinstall process? Is there a work around? Something that we can do that will produce the results we need without having to force the user through such an experience?
Jason 01/18/2007

My issue, stated in my 11Jan07 post, occurs only on my home PC, but not on my work laptop. Both have admin privelleges. Since my post, I have removed IE7 and went back to IE6. I then uninstalled Flash 9 with the uninstall utility and the reinstalled it from the MSI. It was fine until today, and now Google Finance is not working propperly for me, again. I reinstalled Flash and it was fine. The only difference between my PC and my laptop is that I had “upgraded” to IE7 at one point on my PC, which is when the problem began. Now it seems like I am stuck with it even using IE6.
Patrick 01/19/2007

I’m a web developer who created a little flash app that scrolls non-repeating images at random across the top of the site, which pull from a single folder in the same directory as the swf - http://www.nwresd.k12.or.us/ it’s not working consistently in IE7, despite working great in 6, anything on the mac, FF, etc. It seems to be linked to this issue. What’s strange is that some photos load, others don’t. I found a few bug report from one of the betas talking about bad http requests without any real pattern. It looks like the problem may be centered around that moment when the swf reaches out to load a jpg from that folder. Anyway - thought I’d articulate the problem here in the hopes that maybe it could get us (and you) closer to a solution!
Prashant Rana 01/20/2007

The suggestion worked for me, I uninstalled flash (Using the link given) and then re-installed it. Thanks
Bob Allen 01/21/2007

Upgraded to IE7 and didn’t have any issues with Flash until I attempted to visit Citizen Watch site. Would not open and I tried a -reinstall of the Flash and a re-boot. Site worked fine with Firefox. Tried the fix posted by Johnsy on Dec 27, 07 here and it is working fine now with IE7

I am surprised that so many users on a ‘web development’ blog use IE for their personal use! I can understand trying to find work arounds for end-users of a website and the general web-surfing population, but I would have thought more visitors to this site would be savvy enough to be using FF if they are on a PC.
Kenny 01/22/2007

Just wanted to say thanks for the fix. I tried reinstalling several times to no avail. Forgot to uninstall first. I like easy fixes, though this was hard to find!
Alasdair Davies 01/23/2007

I’ve had the same problem and been looking for a solution all week. Has to be the detection changes in the Flash 9 player.
For the general public who may be scared to download uninstallers, what’s the solution though? It looks like once you
have a corrupt install the only way out is down this path, but won’t this silently mess up quite a few machines? Unless
Adobe release a fix and people revisit the installer page in the hope of fixing the problem?
Jan 01/25/2007

Re: Comment by Peter — January 5, 2007 @ 11:43 am

PETER,

thank you. Your way worked for me. That 4MB installer finally worked after unistalling the Flash Pl. I now see flash in my IE7.

Thank you again for sharing this.

Rob Labossiere 01/25/2007

We all know this is a very serious problem, there are millions of IE users out there including most of my clients. I’ve just encountered the problem and the uninstall didn’t work. Niether did saving down to earlier versions of Flash. Perhaps it’s a problem with how Flash 8 publishes HTML code… I copied the HTML generated by an earlier version of Flash and just subbed in my new file name and it’s working fine now. I read some place that the old EMBED tag was useless but if you put it back in, presto! Perhaps it will work for others.
Garnett 01/26/2007

thanks johnsy had same problem went to this site http://weblogs.asp.net/derekh/archive/2005/08/16/422743.aspx everything works fine now.
DB 01/26/2007

It’s to do with IE7 activex handling - it’s been changed. I had the same problem but as a site developer trying to make the site work for all browsers. I have had to upgrade to app we use to produce flash and change the javascript used to embed the movie into the site - now works in both ie7 and FF
christian 01/27/2007

Ok, there’s a problem now with swfobject:
How said before, IE7 changed the ActiveX stuff. By default the option “display activeX for secure scripts” (sorry don’t know the exactly translation, I use the german version) seems to be disabled. If you embed with swfobject, nothing happens.

BUT:
If you embed the html-way, it works. Further, some flash detections will not work (like on 2advanced.com) - they say flash isn’t installed, allthough it is.
If you enable the option, swfobject and decection will work fine, but well - it’s not very professional to ask the user, if this option is enabled in the fallback version :-(.
mickey caudill 01/30/2007

i just got internet explorer 7 and thats when my flash player quit working. when i uninstall and try to install it again it just downloads the active X control and nothing else. i have windows xp home edition, thanks a lot for your help!
mp4masterpiece 01/30/2007

Hey, this worked perfectly for me…that shit was bothering the hell out of me, especially since i go to youtube often, and i cant view thier videos unless i copy the code for it, and then post on myspace or something without al the object and param tags…crazy ie7, but its all good, thanks for this fix, and for anybody still confused, do EXACTLY what this person said!!! restart your computer after you uninstal flash player, then when its freshly restarted, instal flash again (the latest version of course).. and badabing!!! Kudos to whoever wrote this little article here!
Joshua 02/01/2007

Thank you for this post.

Your recommendation worked perfectly for me.

A little fuel for the question of “why” –

I can’t remember whether I installed IE 7 or Flash Player 9 first, but I have IE 5.5 and IE 6 on my system. None of them worked, but Firefox and Opera did. The issue does not appear to be related to the browser itself (since IE 6 obviously works), but, as you said, perhaps the IE 7 install hurt the IE version of the plugin.

Either way, the uninstall and reinstall (all on the same administrator account) has fixed my ailment.
julie day 02/02/2007

Its a problem with user-agent detection script code in the ‘player.html’ code of the file attempting to load there is no detection in the string for IE7 the UA its only checking for MSIE6 and MSIE5
John 02/02/2007

I’ve only had this same problem siince returning from out of town. I left on December 13th and had been having no problem with IE7 and FP. Upon returning on Ja. 30th, there was a month and a half of updates and patches waiting for me and it was after installing them that the problem started. I ran System Restore back to Dec. 13 and FlashPlayer again works. Now the question remains: Which update has caused the problem? I am curious. I’ll save this column and the two links to fixes when it happens again.

Another problem has popped up though on a number of systems as well as my own: Windows defender no longer loads. Any thoughts?
mike 02/03/2007

..Thanks dude,worked easy step 1&2,I was begining to delete scripts! that did’nt work i have sp2 v7 browser,but im sure i was using utube etc after installing ie7! maybe i missed a weekend throu good beer,or tech is moving faster than others,again THANKS for the work.
Don 02/11/2007

I have tried every Flash Player fix Adobe suggests including fixing the registry file. Their suggested reset.com will not run in the cmd prompt. It says “reset.cmd is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”.Adobe should be the one fixing this problem not us end users. If I had my choice I’ll be damn if I’ll buy or use another one of their problems but the have a monopoly just like Microsoft so we’re screwed
Dave 02/12/2007

For a couple of weeks I have also been having an issue with flash content not displaying properly in IE7 on Win XP Pro. My problem seemed to be Mobile Code Control in Zone Alarm.
I did Adobe’s uninstall/reinstall of Flash and registry key removal suggestions from their tech notes.
Afterwards I found Flash worked fine with Zone Alarm off, but I had the same problem of Flash content not running with Zone Alarm on.
I had recently read somewhere some site developers use VBScript to evoke Flash to run, this lead me to the Main tab on the Privacy section in Zone Alarm. I found that the Mobile Code Control was On. I clicked on Custom and unchecked both Block scripts and Block embedded objects.
Now everything seems fine with Flash, for the time being anyway.
eric 02/12/2007

Hi! thanks a lot for this link http://weblogs.asp.net/derekh/archive/2005/08/16/422743.aspx . It solves my browser(IE7)and flash problem.
buggedcom 02/16/2007

There’s a dirty hack to force ie 7 to write the flash and is only used if the activex doesn’t work. It’s not ideal but until a better work around solution appears that’s what i shall be using. In the deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion function in the catch part of the try add the following code. (Note: I’ve set the code to automatically assume use of flash player 8, you can obviously choose which ever you deem necessary, however i think that most people would have player 8 by now)

if(parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.substring(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('MSIE')+5)) == 7) { PlayerVersion = new deconcept.PlayerVersion([8,0,0]); }
chete 02/19/2007

art 03/11/2007

I was wondering about the alternate content DIV, and if it has a few images in it, will it cause the page to load longer, if the end user does have flash. So do the flash and the alternate DIV images both get loaded? Anybody know the best practice on this concerning different browsers, etc.?

I found these two posts, reposted below. Bu, want to know would i just place the Javascript below the alternate DIV then as is the case? And if any other issues might exist. Thanks Geoff et al.

Comment by trixienolix — June 20, 2005 @ 12:26 pm

Hey, thanks for the script it has been very useful. One thing I don’t understand is this: if my alternate content contains lots of images (e.g. a nav with rollover images).. do these get loaded even if the user has flash installed? or does the flash user only have to load the flash? Apologies if there is an obvious answer.. i’m not very techy
thanks

Comment by Geoff — June 20, 2005 @ 12:39 pm

Well, I think of you place the js function to replace the alternate content just below it, then the browser won’t have a chance to load the alternate content, and the images won’t get loaded… But I haven’t tested this extensively, and different browsers might behave differently. If anyone wants to run some tests, I would be very interested in the results.

Grace 03/12/2007

I was having the same problems as most above along with Stewart’s issue. I combined the above fix with a fix a googled somewhere else (Which is to use the above fix, however save both the Flash Player uninstaller and installer to your desktop. Close all windows especially IE. Then, uninstall Flash Player from your desktop. Next reinstall Flash Player from your desktop) and it finally worked. Previously I kept uninstalling and installing from within IE and nothing worked.
Walter 03/22/2007

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! couldn’t view ANY flash content despite the macromeida site saying i have dl the flash player. Well i did your two steep and it works. Good thing I am looking for appartments and they all use flash to view. THANK
RW 04/02/2007

I have tried all of the recommendations on this blog with no success. I can’t get Flash to re-install properly on the machine. Maybe one out of a dozen times it will, then it does the same thing saying it cannot find a program associted with .swf or if it is a website it directs me to “install” flash. I developed a program with the output being .swf now I (and my client) can’t view it! thanks.
RW 04/02/2007

P.S. on the link to the full install, it gives the following instructions “Once downloaded, I right-clicked on the installer and chose Run Elevated. Worked like a charm. ” please provide the step by step instructions on this as I can’t figure out how to “chose run elevated.”
Matthew Ford 04/06/2007

This advice to download the uninstaller and re-install is spot on!
No reboot required. It’s a simple fix, and a rudimentary albeit perfect solution. Thank you!. I have been near postal over this issue.
John 04/10/2007

Geoff,

Any updates on this?

More and more of our clients are reporting that our sites with Flash (and SWF Object) are failing to display the Flash. When I question them, every one of them has recently upgraded their IE to IE7. I know the fix Geoff suggests will work as I’ve done it on my own machine (uninstall and reinstall Flash player) but that is obviously not an option for all of the people who are viewing these web sites. We cannot expect people to go through a software uninstall/reinstall just to view our content!!!

For now we are dropping SWF Object and going back to “classic” embedding. It works but of course there is the annoying “click first” to activate the Flash in IE7 (thanx EOLAs). Lesser of two evils.
dwight 04/10/2007

got firefox and flash player is working, all fixes for netscape are not working with my system
Rich 04/10/2007

Yes, the simple uninstall / reinstall of Flash player worked perfect for IE7. No re-start needed.
Bill 04/11/2007

The problem continues for me on my home PC. I’ve tried every tip mentioned on this blog since this thread started. After all the uninstalls, installs and restarts; some Flash movies work and others don’t. My machine’s OS is Windows XP Home SP 2 and my browser is IE7. I can’t view You Tube videos and for some reason the Toyota.com website. FWIW, Flash is working correctly on my laptop. Only difference for the laptop is the OS is Windows XP Pro.
John 04/11/2007

Anything new on this problem?

In our testing we confirmed what Geoff had already stated and that is,

- when upgrading an existing version of IE to IE 7,
1) pages using SWFObject fail to load their Flash and your alternate content is not displayed either
2) pages that use Adobe’s standard embed technique continue to work fine
3) the only way we found to fix this was to use the Adobe Flash player uninstaller to uninstall the Flash player and then reinstall the Flash player - after that the SWF Object pages worked again
4) Firefox worked correctly in all cases

I have a couple of observations on all of this!

- First I’m very surprised there is not more discussion about this here in the forums! In my opinion this is a HUGE problem as every site we have deployed using SWFObject is now subject to breaking and the only way to fix that is tell each and every site visitor to fix their Flash player install! Obviously that is not a viable solution.

- An extremely large number of end-users are and will be upgrading their browser from IEx to IE7 over the next few months so this problem will only get worse. Over time it should diminish as everyone has upgraded and fixed their Flash player or purchased a new computer with IE7 already installed.

- Although I’d generally agree that this is caused by IE7, on the other hand, it is SWFObject that stops working. IE7 and Firefox continue to display Flash correctly when the pages are set up like the Flash development tool deploys them. Maybe there is something that could be done in SWFObject to detect this and fail more gracefully?

As I mentioned previously, we have stopped using SWFObject on all projects until we can figure out a way to get it to work again. :(

I have examined all of our Flash sites using the standard SWF embed and all of our Flash works perfectly even though there is the little “click to activate” annoyance. Since this does not stop our Flash from running and most of our Flash is visual rather than interactive, we are switching back to embedding for now. We would rather have the annoying “click to activate” than having our Flash content just go missing.

I’m really hoping SWFObject will be updated to work around this issue!
Geoff 04/11/2007

Hey John,

Stuff like this should really be posted in the forum - much more people will see it there and it’s easier to discuss it.

As for your issue - I have only seen this problem happen on a small number of windows machines that upgrade to IE7. Not every machine is affected by it.

However, if you feel it is a larger problem than most people seem to think it is, you should post the steps to reproduce it, and maybe narrow down the cause of it? (i.e. does it only happen when you already have Flash Player installed and you upgrade from ie6 to ie7, or does it only happen in some other circumstances?)
John 04/11/2007

Thanks for your response Geoff. Because we create public sites for large (but not captive) audiences, even a small percentage represents a lot of people. I have had three separate reports of this happening “in the wild” and it happened on my work machine as soon as I upgraded it from IE6 (with Flash) to IE7. Plus the number of reports of this problem right here on this thread indicates to me this is not something rare.

If I can get time I will do some experiments and post the results in your forum. I know I can duplicate this easily on my work machine. One thought I had was to do a test for IE7 and if it is IE7 then embed otherwise use SWFObject.

But in the meantime we are just switching back to embedding our Flash. That way it is not broken for users with this problem. In the future we plan to revisit this and adjust as appropriate.

Kudos to you for creating and supporting SWFObject - it is great. But with these new IE problems we just can’t take advantage of it. :(
Patrick 04/12/2007

It showed up for me that
var axo = new ActiveXObject(”ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.x”);
doesn’t work.
It seams that something prevents JavaScript to access ActiveXObject.
Still looking for a workaround…

At least it works for me to get an alternative image showing up:

<div id=”flash”>
<a target=”_blank” href=”clickUrl”>
<img src=”alternative.gif” alt=”alt text” border=”0″ height=”90″ width=”728″>
</a>
<script type=”text/javascript”>//<!–
var so=new SWFObject(”flash.swf”,”flash”,”728″,”90″,”6.0.29.0″,”#FFFFFF”,”high”);
so.addParam(”wmode”,”opaque”);
so.addParam(”menu”,”false”);
so.write(”flash”);
//–></script>
</div>
Jason 04/13/2007

I’m still having the problem with flash content on certain sites not displaying correctly. I have used the uninstaller, and re-installed, and it works fine for a while. Then, it suddenly isn’t working again. Sometimes simply rebooting fixes it. Other times I have to go through the uninstall process again. This problem first started when I upgraded to IE7. But now, I am running IE6 and still have problems! Any other suggestions?

a web site to view a video it told me I have to use IE7. I just read your posts today so when I get a chance I will try some of the suggestions posted and let you know if they worked or not. Thanks!

Hello All, After upgrading to ie7 and trying to install flash player 9 everything I tried failed,
including your uninstall solution. I then downloaded a standalone flash player and shockwave player
from a website tech republic and this works but when I go to adobe to test, it fails, I am happy
enough with the situation. (((((( http://search.techrepublic.com.com/search/flash+player+9.html )))))
This is a good short term solution until Adobe or microsoft fix the error.
Richard Martin 04/23/2007

Has a final solution to this been found yet? Surprising given
the popularity of both software sytems.
Ray McCormack 04/24/2007

This fix worked perfectly for me, thanks.
Candi123pool 04/26/2007

I have seen this problem several times, and everytime Ihave unistaled Ie 7 and reinstaled it , the problems was fixed, but now I am experiencing a new issue, I instal Ie 7 and it takes me to a MSN runonce2 page, this page installes much malware and it renders IE7 unusuable!

Unistaling and reinstaling does not fix this, and my defender pro antivirus antispyware, and microsoft anti malware does not find any problems.

I am a repair tech i know a format and reinst will do it, but I dont feel like going that far with it.

Any help will be much apreciated.

Uninstall and reinstall works well. However when I used Regseeker to delete redundant files Flashplayer did not work. There are 25 files (Activex etc.) which you need to exclude to get Flashplayer to work.
Shady Matar 05/04/2007

Well in short, i did everything with IE 7. I even disabled and enabled the plugin (flash 9) but doesn’t seem to work. I reverted to the new FIREFOX.
It works very NICE.

Anybody who thinks this IE mess is acceptable for “normal people” (those who do not make a career out of making sure that Li’l Billy Gates gets every little thing he wants) is nuts. The solution to every one of these problems is simple: use Firefox.

k i really need to install flash player 7 does anybody know where i can install it?
A. Cornelisse 05/20/2007

My Flash Player Vs. 9 would not come up without a prompt to upgrade and even then no matter what I did with uninstall and reinstall and restart and whatever. It did work on Fire Fox.
I did find the fix on the previous comments and that was to go to the following site:
http://weblogs.asp.net/derekh/archive/2005/08/16/422743.aspx
I did not do an uninstall of the previous version and I did not do an elevated install but simply folllowed the menus. It was for Vista but it worked for XP.
This apparently is a stand alone installer and it installs Adobe Flash Player Active X instead of Adobe Flash Player Plug as with all the other attempts. Has taken be all day to come to this point. Thankyou for this comment page. It’s been hidden in most of of my Google searches. Adobe help was of little help.
gef 05/23/2007

Another issue that will affect Flash playback is related to variables placed in the html wrapper or the url. For example, swfobject lets you pass variables to the swf file.
It seems that IE7 will import the variables on first view but will then cache the swf which (for some unknown security reason) prevents the swf from accessing the variables…
Setting IE7 temporary files to ‘Check for newer versions every time I visit the web page’ seems like the only way to ensure that the Flash file plays correctly.
Geoff 05/23/2007

Tried everything on this page, then I remembered good old http://www.softwarepatch.com - their page describing flash 9 standalone installer saved the day!

I’d always be careful when downloading stuff from unknown 3rd party sites. So use that site at your own risk.
Djedje 05/27/2007

I had recently the situation that Flash Player would only works fine when IE is started with admin rights.
This can be solved by starting Regedit on on admin accounts - you simply need to add read permissions for all users on the following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.x

I did it and now Flash player is working fine on all accounts :-)
Mike2 05/28/2007

Thank you > “http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html try this installer. worked for me” After about 6 months, this finally solved it. Just run this installer, re-open ie when completed, and that’s it. :) Thank you again.
Keith 05/29/2007

I’ve had this problem of Flash not working in IE7 ever since I installed Flash CS3 on my laptop. After endless searching and trying everything that was recommended, I finally found that the standalone installer MSI found at http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html worked! Now, SWFs display properly for me in IE7. Thanks!
Phil 05/30/2007

I modified the swfobject to work perfectly on IE7

replace:

getSWFHTML:function()
{
var _19=”";
if(navigator.plugins&&navigator.mimeTypes&&navigator.mimeTypes.length)
{
if(this.getAttribute(”doExpressInstall”))

with:

getSWFHTML:function()
{
var _19=”";

var msie7 = (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.substring(navigator.appVersion.indexOf(’MSIE’)+5)) == 7);

if(msie7 || (navigator.plugins&&navigator.mimeTypes&&navigator.mimeTypes.length))
{
if(this.getAttribute(”doExpressInstall”))

Explanation:

$(’div_id’).innerHTML = “ either,
$(’div_id’).innerHTML = “
So i just forced IE7 to use FF syntax…

That’s all folks

Enjoy !

You can also do exactly what the patch is doing like this ..

How To Make all Flash content play automatically in IE7 or Windows Vista June 2007

You have probably noticed most flash will not play at all, and what does play has to have the
flash’s active X installed each time in Internet Explorer 7 and/or Windows Vista, and even then
you will find that it still will not work.

This is simply a “Permissions” and “Default Player” problem that has a easy and permanent fix.
If you are just browsing the web or plan to create a flash web site, you will need to make these
few changes listed below in order to do either of these things. Please keep in mind, millions
of Internet users will never make these changes, this means making a web site with flash content
will only reach less than 40% of the people you target.

My personal opinion is, every IE7 user should make these changes. Not doing so will limit
your web browsing and create many other veiwing problems everyday. Flash is not going away
anytime soon, Microsoft and Adobe do not see eye to eye, so now it is your job to make the two
connect. At one time it was all done for you, now it is all up to the end user.

Follow These Steps ..

1. With IE7 open, click (TOOLS) at the top right corner of the browser.
In the drop down menu click (INTERNET OPTIONS)
2. Now click the (PROGRAMS) tab at the top. Click the (SET PROGRAMS)
button at the bottom.

3.Click (ASSOCIATE A FILE TYPE OR PROTOCOL). Scroll down until you see
( .flv ) files extension on the left side in the list. If Internet explorer is
not set as the default program on the right, then you have found half the problem.

4.Select the ( .flv ) extension and then click (CHANGE PROGRAM) at the top right.
Browse until you have found the IE7 icon “application” and double click it.

You have solved the first of two problems. Now you will need to set “Permissions”.

1. With IE7 open, click (TOOLS) at the top right corner of the browser.
In the drop down menu click (INTERNET OPTIONS)

2. Click the (ADVANCED) tab at the top. Scroll down until you see
(ALLOW ACTIVE CONTENT TO PLAY IN FILES ON MY COMPUTER).

3. Put a check mark next to that item and click (APPLY) at the bottom.

4. Set IE7 as the Default browser if you have not already. You can do this by
clicking (TOOLS) at the top right corner of the browser.
In the drop down menu click (INTERNET OPTIONS)
Now click the (PROGRAMS) tab at the top and click (MAKE DEFAULT) at top.

Welcome to the new FORCED WORLD OF FLASH CONTENT !

Carla Keaton 06/15/2007

I am having same problems as all above, tried all fixes including making sure all programs closed, unistaller/re-installer program, rebooted, several times. No luck…the copy of the screen shots for how it looks in IE7 and Firefox can be found at http://www.crmco.net I have XP SP2, IE7, Flash 9 [but the code in the html says 6.0.0]. I am going crazy trying to fix this…I would like to correct it in the code on this site, because I don’t use IE as my default browser, so personally it’s not a problem…but to my client who has the same error, he is worried it will be the same for some of his customers. I am willing to pay for some help in fixing this code, if someone can actually can help me fix it. I’m a novice, and would most likely make it worse. Thanks, Carla
Jerrold 06/17/2007

Here is how I FOUND the problem (note it is not FIXED):
Did a SYSTEM RESTORE to June 4th 2007. Started to reinstall WINDOWS UPDATES. Saw that WINDOWS DEFENDER appears to be the update that messes up SOME (but not all!) “movie” content. example working: http://www.globeandmail.com (advertising flash). not working: http://www.shockwave.com - jigsaw puzzle (sadly, you are “forced” to watch the movie before you can download today’s jigsaw!)

Let me know anyone resolves this?

Before the update flash player worked fine but could not play embeded WMV(I have a green screen)files from news sites like CBS in browser.
After the update embeded WMV files from news sites like CBS play just fine in browser.
Tried your suggestion of Running the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller and reinstalling flash, flash works now but embeded wmv does not work!
:Laura 06/21/2007

I reformated my PC june/18. I’ve had a horable time reseting this thing up.
I’ve spent the last 3 hours trying to fix a issues. Went to check my downloaded program files from the Tools, IE options, settings,flash player shows as a long line of numbers & letters. Uninstall it{flash player} go reinstall macrodiea flash player 9. Check the add remove & shows up as a active x. Shows in the downloaded program fiels as damaged. Ran the uninstaller reinstalled same thing over & over again. Found the phone # for IE7 support. Was told that is normal for ANYthing showing in the downloaded program files in IE7 to show as Damaged :S I asked you say showing as Damaged is normal?? Was told Yes… they are aware of the coding problems & trying..mind you TRYING to find a fix. This is the worst time I’ve had trying to reset up my PC after a reformat. Guess I’ll start all OVER again. And NOT install the IE7. This is Not the 1st time having Major issues with IE7. Was on the phone with IE7 suport 6 times & NEVER could 100% uninstall it. Why? I ask WHy do they foruce this on us as a “security” update when they know there are sooo sooo many issues with it??? 2 days of tring to get my PC back togetether for nothing. I could just scream. Oh before I forget. Go read on Adobes Macrodeida Flash Player. Dont show it suports IE7 at all.
BobCol 06/25/2007

Hi,

I too have these problems.

I was interested in Josh’s solution (June 1, 2007). However despite the fact that I installed the flash player, flv does not show up in the extension list when I try to “Associate a File Type with a program”

Can anyone suggest why this might be??

Thanks
Cathy 06/28/2007

I am dismayed to see so many users having trouble viewing Flash content. I was beginning to think it was just my inadequacies as a small time web developer and creator of Flash content who had lost the plot after three major ops on my shoulder. The problem began for me when recently upgrading to Flash Player 9 while using IE7, which had been behaving as it should prior to this. After the Flash Player 9 upgrade, as others have also reported, Flash content played perfectly on the local machine with both Firefox and IE7 yet failed “silently” when downloaded by IE7 from the server. After tearing my hair out for a day, I eventually re-created the relevant pages and then re-uploaded the active-x control “scripts” folder which Dreamweaver 8 automatically generates when wrapping an html page around Flash content and - bingo- everything worked perfectly. Considering I had only uploaded the site a month previously and everything had been working perfectly, it seems us poor old web developers (small or not) are going to have to keep on our toes if we are going to have to keep thrashing our way through these so-called security issues. Soon we’ll be so snug and secure the Internet will be unusable.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble setting flash movie width and height to “100%”. It seems to work fine in IE6 but not in Firefox, IE7 or firefox on the MAC.
Pepper 07/01/2007

i have 4 windows accounts on my pc but flash player only works on one of them, i have the latest version of flash installed but when i go to view flash content it promts me to install the latest version, i do so and see the animation thing to show that it is correctly installed but still i have the same problem and still get the message that i dont have the lates version.
AND IM STILL RUNNING IE6 BECAUSE IE7 WONT INSTALL FOR SOME REASON, i tell ya im almost eating my keyboard as im that stressed, and the official support forums seem a little slack
Ciaran 07/05/2007

Had to go back to embedding the flash, it works fine, what a nuisance though.
Jeremy 07/06/2007

Just confirming that the installer @ http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html solved my issue of Flash player not working in IE7.

Notes:
*I didn’t have to run the un-installer or run the program as an administrator.
*I did get a couple file not found errors from the softwarepatch site, keep trying till you get to the page.
*Saying things like “just switch to Firefox, I hate M$,” doesn’t help… I use FF for everything, but still need to develop for all browsers…

Shake that thang 07/12/2007

What an overwhelming page! Lots of problems with the flash plugin… So I just got my laptop back after 6 weeks. Hard drive replaced, I’ve had to reinstall programs. So, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the flash plugin quite a few times. Still when I go to a site like mtv.com it states that I need to install the newest flash player plugin (which I’ve already done!). After installation I see the animation that states the flash player plug-in has been successfully installed. Youtube and myspace videos appear fine, whereas when I try to catch up on the new music/dance moves on mtv.com, it states I have to install the newest flash plugin (which I’ve already done!).

I’ve spent almost 2 weeks trying to find the solution on the internet for this problem. I even installed firefox, still the same problem. Erased the history, cookies, cache files….. too many restarts! It won’t be the end of the world if I can not resolve this, but would love to catch up on the new dance moves (especially since I don’t have cable). Please help!
just a guy 07/19/2007

Anyone try the window error check?

Mycom > right click on C: > property > tools tab > on the Error-cheacking hit Check Now > check both Automatically fix… and Scan for and attempt recovery….> start

If it asks you to do the scan after re-start just say ok.
And restart your computer.

I got the same problem with flash. But mine was not caused by IE it was the FF that messed up my pc! After I updated firefox, my flash pluck in was somehow messed up.
Both IE and FF couldn’t play flash!!! I reinstall-restart-reinstall-restart the flash player many time, nothing seemed to work.

I did what I said above, and it is working now.
Christian Larsen 07/23/2007

THIS IS THE SOLUTION USED BY MICROSOFT SUPPORT!

This pained me for weeks. And I tried everything I read online. The only way I got it fixed was by finally calling Microsoft and getting support.

They led me to their IE Tools page here:

http://sivabala76.googlepages.com/home

Click the link IE DLL Files. Let the cmd window come up and do it’s thing. Once that’s finished, reinstall flash player by clicking the “Flash Player 9.0.28.0″ link and it will work.
Michal 07/25/2007

dear
i purchased the monoslide show and i am trying to view it on the internet explorer. i donwloaded a zip file with a swf file and a xmlfile in it. when i click on the index file which is a internet explorer file i get this Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript. i installed flash and java is on but i dont know what is wrong. i am using windows vista with pentium 4 computer so please tell me what i can do to fix this.
DaLilSlowKyd 08/21/2007

I was having problems where youtube was telling me my javascript was turned off or I needed to update to Adobe Flash Player 9. I went to my Internet Options and turned java back on. Worked for about a half hour. So I went to Adobe.com to download the latest version, but when I went there nothing popped up to download it, and there was nowhere to click to download it from the page. I got aggrivated after awhile because I kept changing my Internet Security Options so the window to download would pop up, but still nothing. I then tried to restore my computer to a point when it was working correctly. It worked until you restarted or turned off the computer. Okay now this is how I fixed mine….
I have Windows Vista, my computer came with McAfee. I would have little bubbles telling me I have errors or what not, but everytime Id click the bubble to load McAfee only the border of the box was showing, nothing on the inside for options or even details. Well I got tired of its bubbles and it never loading so all I did was remove it from my computer. Apparently it was part of my Internet Security, so thats what was stopping me from viewing videos or checking my emails. Hopefully this kinda helps anyone, if not I understand how irritating it is.
Have a nice day! =D
geoken 08/22/2007

Does anyone know if this affects flash’s ability to get the version through AS? I’m trying to figure out how I can solve thise problem (asking website visitors to uninstall and install Flash isn’t an option). The only solutions seems to be using a secondary catch were I push users to a page where I embed a movie without checking player version, then have that embeded movie check the flash version again and if it’s still to low do something, but if it isn’t too low go back to the original page with version detection disabled.
Geoff 08/22/2007

geoken,

Yes, the Flash Player returns the correct version once it is embedded. For YouTube.com, we implemented an extra check that always embeds a small invisible swf that will check for the flash version if the first swf isn’t written.

This ensures that everyone with Flash Player installed (even if it’s a corrupt install) can see the videos.
Dug Fresh 08/24/2007

I have been having this same issue. It is now affecting my transcender software! It keeps telling me that Flash is not installed yet I have visited the Adobe website and confirmed that it is. (Even though Flash enabled video sites still do not work) I have tried jumping through every hoop I could find on the web and no luck. I was able to view YouTube vids by selecting the old version, but MetaCafe vids do not show up at all. And nothing I do can convince transcender that Flash is installed! It seems awfully drastic to reformat the box just because of buggy software. Any word on whether this is some sort of rootkit or trojan that has used Flash as an entry point? That would explain the “silent failures” of the uninstall…
colleen 09/06/2007

Every time I got to a site that requires adobe flash player I have to download it again. Shouldn’t it just download initially and stay downloaded.

austin 09/20/2007

the amount of money abode (sic) wants for flash encoding now…. it
solidifies my encouragement of people not to use it at all.
my latest guess is that the ATI card that some of us with real issues have
combined with flash9 and IE7 is enough to curdle any web builder’s brains.

Either adobe or microsoft needs to come up with a universal fix. I have wasted too much time on this. I’m DONE!!

Alcivar 11/16/2007

Of course FF is the superior browser but telling a web developer to just use FF is not helpful since the majority of people out there are ignorantly using IE and we must design for the majority of people. Asking this majority to uninstall/reinstall etc. is impractical since most won’t bother. So since we want the majority of viewer to see our Flash we must now revert back to the WC3 unaccepted nonsense because more and more people are upgrading to IE7. It’s an ugly situation thanks to Microsoft.

Annoyed by IE7 or Adobe 11/17/2007

Problems in IE7 in WINXP pro sp2 :
I have uninstalled Flash player using the uninstaller.
I have tried adobe online upgrade but the process stopped in the middle.
So I found a standalone installer. There are 2. I was told the 9.0.47 version is already expired and I used a newer version BUT…
Error 1904 happened while using the latest standalone installer.
I guess there is a registry problem, so I run the SubinACL provided in adobe’s site. Result : Not working.
Then I found another tool called Dial-a-fix which can repair the Registry Permission. Result : Not working.
Any more suggestion? or the Conclusion is IE7 does not support Flash Player 9 normally. (The OS is windows XP pro)
Firefox works fine except a few minor problems like cache not working normally.
Moira Heath 11/20/2007

I had the same problem as you and tried all the above solutions. At first instance, it seemed like nothing worked until I stumbled across the Tools –> Manage Add-Ons –> Enable or Disable Add-ons in IE7. A quick look at it showed that Flash had indeed successfully installed, but was disabled for some reason. I just enabled it and hey presto, everything came back to normal. I don’t know which of the above solutions worked in my case, but I thought you should check that option before you give up.

Hiya. I was having the same problem and getting seriously frustrated with it.

What worked for me was to restart Windows in Safe Mode, uninstall the player via http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157, then install it again with administrative privileges via the standalone installer at http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie.

Good luck, hope that helps. Worked a treat for me!

I ran System Restore back to Dec. 13 and FlashPlayer again works. Now the question remains: Which update has caused the problem? I am curious.

In regards to the problem listed above I can see my content with IE 7 and I am using XP SP2 with all the latest updates. I did find that if you remove the DOC type from the header it does help rendering the swf in IE. Its worth a try:

Well, about the IE7 problem. If you use the Dreamweaver JS funcion “AC_RunActiveContent.js” the flash in IE7 works fine, but using the SWFObject it doesn’t. I don’t know what was changed in the update, but there are some in the DW function that make the flash working…

I have Vista 32bit. Yesterday flash told me it needed to update my flash player so I clicked yes and didn’t see any errors, then SWFObject stopped working for me in IE7, though youtube flash still worked. SWFObject still worked in FireFox.

Downloading this standalone IE 7 Flash installer and running it fixed it for me (thanks for the link in this thread):
http://weblogs.asp.net/derekh/archive/2005/08/16/422743.aspx
I didn’t have to run it as administrator.

I hope Adobe fixes their flash installer, as I use SWFObject extensively and much prefer it. But if only SWFObject is affected by this bug, then who knows when it will get fixed… I thought this bug maybe broke flash version sniffing via javascript, but doesn’t youtube do that - so why was that unaffected?

I been working on this site and have a problem with Flash and IE7. I just uninstalled, rebooted, and then reinstalled the Flash player and my Flash still does not show in IE7. The page test ok under Safari and FF on the Mac and FF on the PC. I’m using Spry on the page if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Without getting into the technical details, mp3 is a music format that can be highly compressed and still retain high quality sound. How compressed? Well a standard 650 Mb music CD contains around 18 songs at most. My personal record is 197 high quality mp3 songs on one CD. download mp3 music

This high compression ratio allows music to be a decent size to download over the internet. This allowed people to place entire CDs onto the net and for thousands to download them for free. In effect “stealing” copyrighted music in mass quantity. mp3 download

If you get paid for every CD bought with your name on it and you found out that anyone anywhere could download your whole CD in an hours for free, how scared would you be?

My friend (I’ll call him Jake) is a huge Kid Rock fan. Well, at least he is now.
Peter Peterson 02/04/2008

He heard some of his songs through friends, but didn’t want to waste his money getting his CD. So he downloaded a few mp3’s to listen to. In fact, he ended up downloading his entire CD. Jake loves the songs. Every single one of them. buy mp3 music

So did he buy the CD? No. He already had the songs available and any CD he got would’ve just been played in his home office where his computer is anyway.

However, Jake has gone to Kid Rock’s concerts twice already and both times plunked down plenty of dough for t-shirts and memorabilia. (You do know that artists get a percentage of all concert ticket sales and licensed merchandise sold, right?) search mp3 music

Could Jake afford the CD? Of course, but didn’t want to waste money on a CD. Of course the money he spent at the concerts were much more than the price of one compact disc.

the amount of money abode (sic) wants for flash encoding now…. it
solidifies my encouragement of people not to use it at all.
my latest guess is that the ATI card that some of us with real issues have
combined with flash9 and IE7 is enough to curdle any web builder’s brains.

Why do Microsoft have to be so awkward!!! There are never any issues like this with other browsers such as Firefox which is 10 times better in my opinion. They should be fined for messing everyones computers up and wasting the time of w
