I can't get flash player to work on Internet Explorer 10. Any suggestions?

What Windows version?  What exactly means "can't"?

[Jim1Dunlap]

Windows 7

The program downloads and I get the message from Adobe that the installation was successful. However, when i click on a video I get a message that I don't have Flash Player.

I tried installing Chrome along with Flash Player and it works if I use Chrome as the broswer. If I go back to Internet Explorer it can't find Flash Player. I tired going to Abode.com and using their "Help" and it can't find Flash Player either. I tried all their suggestions and it didn't help.

I recently upgraded to Explorer 10 and Flash Player was working on the prior Explorer version, but it won't on Explorer 10

I tired both and it didn't help. I had already tried doing what they suggested but I tried again. Perhaps the problem is Explorer 10; Flash was working before I upgraded to 10.

I use IE10 on Windows 7, and I do not have any problems with Flash Player on it.

If Shockwave Flash object is enabled, and ActiveX filtering disabled, then you should be able to use Flash on Internet Explorer.

Thanks for all your help. I reviewed all the fixes and found that it was the Active X filtering. Flash is working now. Thanks again.

IE and ActiveX are a major source of headaches for IE users. I'm so glad that Firefox, Opera and Safari don't use ActiveX controls.
