setting up flash player in IE

[dmurphy]

I am designing a web site, which has a flash intro and some other flash
objects. I have downloaded the flash player. It is working in Netscape, but
in IE 7, is just sits at the beginner of the intro and nevers goes further.

I have check the c:\program files\Internet explorer\plugins and flash is not
there. I have also check in the addins under tools - security within IE and
do note see adobe flash.\

Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone tell me how to fix this. I
always test my websites in different browser and I am creating them.

Thank you
Dee

In that case you do have the player .. otherwise you would not see the
beginning of the intro at all .. there'd just be an empty hole.

It does not live there .. its an activeX control .. it lives in
c:\windows\system32\macromed

Perhaps provide a URL link to the web page .. there may be a problem in your
HTML.

While waiting for an answer I went to www.donglefree.com and downloaded
flasfix, so now my desktop is no longer working and even an update is not
fixing this, I am using my laptop to post this. I do not know how to repair my
settings, everything is disabled.

Talk to donglefree.com then .. this is the sort of thing that happens when
you use things like that .. I hope you don't expect Adobe to clean up the
mess you made from using it.

I take it you did read the web page wher ethey clearly say
Warning: The 'reset.cmd' is not an Adobe or Spectrum Software Inc program.
Adobe Systems nor Spectrum Software Inc. cannot be held responsible for
damage resulting from running this script. The 'reset.cmd' script involves
the Windows System Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry
incorrectly can result in serious system damage, which may require
reinstallation of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing
the registry, then it's best to take your machine to a professional. If you
choose to proceed, it is essential to create a complete system backup and a
Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe Systems cannot be held
responsible for damage resulting from this 'reset.cmd' script.
Good luck with getting help on that damage it has caused . .from the sounds
of this they are not going to take any responsibility and may well (quite
justifiably) say the responsibility is really yours, as you were warned and
they did claim they cannot be held responsible.

Why Adobe is keeping this fix a secret

can someone tell me how to fix the problem this has caused. I can no longer
get into windows xp, even through safe mode, recovery consule, or anything and
if seems like my registry is corrupted. I am a web developer and can not
afford to lose all the work I had done. Anytime a customer needs updates, I
use the files that are on my computer.

Please help with this as soon as possible it has driven me crazy for two days,
wish I never touched flashfix.
