Hi eveyone,
In short;
been running Win 8 Pro 64-bit for a couple of days now. Decided it was time to try out some software so installed a trial of Fix It Utilities Professional (bad decision).
Installed it, played around for a bit and after a while I came up with the brilliant idea of running a registry clean/fix (insert facepalm) and some overall clean-up, just curious
to seel the results.
Being stupid and feeling lazy, cleaned everything and didn't create a backup. Everything seemed fine afterwards. Only the internal flash player for IE 10 dissapeared
from the Add-ons list, hence the plugin itself stopped working.I've tried everything I think I've tried all the help options I could find on the Adobe site, but nothing seems to work (un-install tool,
delete files and folders, IE's security settings back to default, checked ActiveX status and permissons, reset all data and settings for IE10 etc) Something must have been modified in the registry
but I'm just unable to locate the problem. I also installed the latest beta for Chrome and that's working like a charm, no problems at all and the performance is great.
So this is the error I receive:
I'm kinda stuck now; the installer won't let me installl it because IE has a built in plugin, but it's not working in IE. It's not even visible in the add-on menu.
I know it was a pretty stupid thing to do, but I still hope someone here knows what to do. I;m kinda running out of ideas/options (not going to edit the registry myself, because you can
bet your money this will only have a negative outcome
thanks in advance!
edit
the last thing I can think of is that OpenOffice and Windows Live Messenger also use flash, if i'm correct. E.g. in the OpenOffice folder there is a flash.dll file. Could these files be of real
influence?
ill copy all the current flash files and keys/values, seems the only way to clear thing ups a bit

Or do you first have to earn points before you can ask a question? If so. I'm sorry. Totally missed the reward system.

No, you can ask questions, but you'll have to wait until someone shows up who knows the answer.
I do not have Windows 8 / IE10, so I don't know anything about it.
You may have to wait until US daytime; maybe someone from the Adobe staff knows the answer. But you may be better off asking in a IE10 forum.
Meanwhile check if you can find any relevant information in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flash_player_w...

P.S. have you tried to reinstall / repair IE10?

Hi Pat,
thanks for your answer. Don't get me wrong, I was not being impatient. Just to be sure. I'll check out the guide first, thx
And I've reset IE10 to it's default. But AFAIK there is no option to re-install IE10 in W8 since it's baked into the OS?

Does Windows 8 have an equivalent to Windows 7 Control Panel / Programs and Features? If so, does IE10 show in there, and does it have a Repair option?
