I need help!! I bought my daughter a V-Reader from V-Tech for Christmas and I am trying to get it set up. I have gone through all the steps of trying to upgrade the software. However, when I try to begin the process it is telling me I need to install Adobe Flashplayer. So I go to Adobe & download & install Adobe Flash player 11 ActiveX. However, when I go back to the set up portion of this V-Reader, it is still telling me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. I am so confused & don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy, so whatever help I can get needs to be pretty easy to understand & would be extremely appreciated. I have Windows Vista, I really don't know what else you need to know. Thanks for any & all help.....

Am I correct to assume that you connect that E-reader to your PC, and you need Flash Player on the PC?
Do you know if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit?
You mention ActiveX, so you must be using Internet Explorer. What version do you use, and is it the 32-bit edition or 64-bit edition (Help, About Internet Explorer should tell you that)?
On Internet Explorer 8 or 9, check Tools, Add-ons: do you see Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
On Internet Explorer 9, check Tools, ActiveX Filtering: is it enabled? (It must be disabled for Flash Player to function.)

One more: on Vista, Flash Player can only run on the 32-bit edition of Internet Explorer.

I have a 32 bit system.
Shockwave Flash Object is enabled.
I do not see ActiveX Filtering. Could it be listed as ActiveMovieControl Object?

On IE9 ActiveX Filtering is the 4th item under Tools.

I'm sorry, I cannot find anything like your screen print.

OK, again I'm sorry I'm slow at this. When I went to view & track your downloads, it does not show anything.

Do you have Internet Explorer 8 or 9? ActiveX Filtering is a new feature of IE9.
Do you see the Menu Bar on IE (File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help) ?

I have IE9 & yes I see the menu bar.

I found another discussion on this forum about enabling flash player in IE9. My screen looks just like the screen print of the one shown, stating that Adobe Flash Player was successfully installed. So then I went to the next discussion about ActiveX filtering in IE9. I do not have a circle w/a slash in the address bar. So then I went to tools and next to ActiveX Filtering, I do not have a check mark next to it. So.......that is where I am. I don't know what to do next. It still says I need to download Adobe Flash Player. This is driving me nuts.......

Hmm, this is a unusual case...
Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
Can you open Windows Explorer, then navigate to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash - please list the files you have in that folder.

Yes, I can see the flash animation.
The files I have in that folder are:
Flashlle.ocx
FlashInstall
Flashlltil11e_ActiveX.dll
Flashlltil11e_ActiveX

This means that Flash Player is correctly installed and working. There must be something on that site not working; do they give support?

I don't suppose you could provide instructions for checking ActiveX Filtering for IE8 (32 bit system) also please? I have exactly the same problem with the same software. I have followed this thread thus far - Shockwave Flash Object Enabled but wasn't sure whether I then have to check ActiveX Filtering, and where to check that.
Thanks!

As I wrote earlier in this topic, ActiveX Filtering was intoduced with IE9.
