QT & Flash being strange

[dreamer]

Hi all,

I am not sure why this is happening or what I may have done to have this
happen. But when I go onto many sites now that should be playing a Flash
movie, I am told to download the latest Flash. I click on the link, I am
shown an animation which says now installed, but still doesn't work on the
sites. I am now getting the same thing with QuickTime. I see what is
supposed to be QuickTime banner of such and when it is about to play, it
greys out with a question mark in front. I have been able to otherwise play
Flash games and movies. But any sites that start the movie immediately,
won't. Is there a setting that may have been messed up.

I run Windows XP Pro SP2, OE 6.x as well.

Thanks for considering the above.
Sam

First make sure you've not Blocked/Disabled the ActiveX for both.

You can always test Shockwave/Flash Player at:

*WARNING: if not installed, loading the ActiveX will install both
of them for you.

QuickTime Diagnostics here:

Same problem. I did as suggested. It must be a setting I am missing in my
system somewhere. I will continue the search and see where it lands. Thanks
for your suggestions as I am sure they have done something good inside of my
system that may have been missing perhaps.
