1. Re: Some Flash content won’t display
Tom_5696 Sep 27, 2010 6:47 AM (in response to Tom_5696)After literally wasting all day trying to resolve this issue I found the answer here http://dmoisan.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!95CB015E3E4A702A!2596.entry
This caught my eye: “This happens when running IE8 under a limited user account, but not when it is run as the local admin.”
So, a big thanks to the author of that blog.
The answer, just to repeat it here is:
As many of us in the Adobe support forums suspected, it is a permissions problem. This is the fix:
1. Close all instances of IE.
2. Get the Flash Uninstaller from Adobe and run it elevated as admin. You need to get the latest version from Adobe as it is updated with each new revision of Flash.
3. Run Regedit and find this registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/MIME/Database/Content Type/Application/x-shockwave-flash. Delete the key.
4. Reinstall Flash from IE.
5. Browse to the pages that weren't displaying properly, and verify that they display successfully.
I am growing very tired of all of these Flash-related security and other issues. Where is the quality control in this product?
