Show *us* just WHERE is your question in your original post. You made a
statement. You did not pose a question. "Look, my tire is flat." "See
the shooting star." "My house burned down." All statements. None are
questions.

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER

is looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go
on (no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually
move on to the next post and never return to yours.

In case you were asking a question but thought everyone here was
clairvoyant, a GUESS might for a solution to an unasked question might
be ...

- Get the uninstaller (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html) to
completely remove any remnants of their Flash AX control.
- Disable all [non-Microsoft] add-ons. I usually only disable the
non-Microsoft add-ons. You could disable all add-ons during the
reinstall to ensure that none of them is causing a conflict or
involved in the install problem.
- Install the Flash Player; however, if you had problems with the
on-demand installation from within IE, download the installer
(http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html).
- The Flash Player should now be the only [non-Microsoft] add-on that
is enabled.
- Test if Flash now works. If Flash works, re-enable the other
add-ons one at a time and retest.

For future reference, it is best to first uninstall all non-Microsoft
add-ons and reset IE7 before installing IE8. After completing the
installation of IE8 then reinstall the non-Microsoft add-ons.

Adobe's Flash Player is not compatible with the 64-bit version of IE.
Use the 32-bit version of IE. Apparently Flash installs into the
wrong folder in a 64-bit version of Windows so it might not even be
available to the 32-bit version of IE. See the following articles:

Can I ask you, do you have a file on your system called :

c:\windows\ system32\macromed\flash\Flash10b.ocx

???

If it IS present, try just typing :

regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\Flash10b.ocx

....to manually install it.

I think, all the flash player installer does is copy this file to your
hard-drive and registers it.

I could be wrong, there my be more to it, but I still think that it's
worth it to try to manually register it.

Why, what happened?

Was the file there and did not register properly?

Or was the file not there at all?

One more, just a thought,.... Uninstall "Adobe Flash Player 10
ActiveX" by going into your 'Add or Remove Programs' in 'Control Panel'
and click on the 'Remove' button.

Then, try going to the Adobe Flash Player Archives webpage and download
a previous version of 'Flash Player' and install that!

Adobe Flash Player Archives :

Try starting with version 8 or 9....

Worth a try, no?
