Re: [IE] IE8 and Adobe Flash Question
Auggy, I did as you asked, and it shows that it is enabled, and it is version 9.0.45.0
Seems odd since I've d/l'd a version 10.x |

2 edits | Try running the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from the following link:
»kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon···tn_14157
Close all applications beforehand and restart the computer afterwards.
Then reinstall Flash from the following link (un-check the "Google Toolbar" offer) and restart the computer:
»get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then go to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder and confirm that the flash10b.ocx exists in that folder.
Then confirm that the Shockwave Flash Object in IE Manage Add-ons is at version 10.0.22.87 |

| What version shows up in the following link?:
»kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon···liceId=2
Also, does "Debug Player" say "No" (it should). |

Doing what you asked gave the following results:
Flash.ocx @ C:\WINDOWS\system32
flash.ocx @ C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
Flash 10b.ocx @ C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromedia\Flash
Notice in the 3rd file that came up, the space between the word Flash & the 10b |

Seneca, MO | As a side note, I tried the BestBuy site last night to see if I could see the weekly ad, and it worked.
I tried it again this morning, and it still worked. |
