Try rt clicking on tools in Internet Explorer-->Internet Options-->Security. Click on Custom and scroll through the options for Active X, and see if they are set the way you want them. Very high security settings just might have the door nailed shut.

Here is one link that may help

here is another that refers to adblockers

Looks like it could be a number of things from a pop up blocker to Norton internet security.

These should be of some help--Good luck

regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash\Flash8b.ocx

It could be a Windows installer issue. The downloadable installer is an MSI file, not a typical EXE, so it requires the MS installer. I had to update a computer here with some Windows patches in order to install Flash 8 because they used MSI for that as well.

Can you get Flash player 7 to install?

First uninstall Flash player 8:

Then try installing 7:

Hey dave. I uninstalled it. I installed flash 7 with no prob. But the site i need it for requires 8. So i uninstalled it again. Then tried the stand alone 1 that you mentioned earlyer. I still get the same message. Thanks for your effort tho dude, i thought it was gonna work for a second lol.

Thanks
Any more ideas?

It might have to do with MS Java.

In your System32 folder. search for the file "msjava.dll" and if it doesn't exist, get it from here
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... tml?msjava

put it in the System32 folder, and try one more time
