Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008

I have tried everything to get flashplayer to work. I have been very very very
patient with it, but now, after about a month of it not working properly AT
ALL, Im getting a little bit frustrated with this, Adobe, and ActiveX controls.
It started, like I said, about a month ago, just out of the blue, like all the
problems I have to fix on my computer. Just randomly for no reason at all my
computer will screw up something, theres never ever an explaination for it, it
just 'does', and now it chose flash to mess with.

The weird thing is that all the problems on my computer before this one seemed
much more complex, but were so easily fixed. This one seems easy but turns out
that nothing is going to work to solve this unless I try the forums.

My problem is that when I try to download Flashplayer, the installation
complete movie either doesnt appear, or it doesnt appear and i get a message
saying 'internet explorer blocked this site for using Activex controls in an
unsafe manner.'

GODDAMN IT! Ive tried everything to make it so it UNBLOCKS IT, but so far Ive
been able to 'theoretically' stop the blocking program from working at all, but
it STILL blocks it!

so thats out of the question.

So i tried adobe's support center with no luck, it said to go into internet
options and turn on some things under the 'security' options. Uh huh.
Ineffective.

So I tried to reinstall Flashplayer. Wow. Brilliant! Now I cant even
RE-download it! WHY!?
Because in order to download it your computer needs to be able to support it,
mine can, BUT internet explorer keeps blocking it! But when I try to block the
blocking program, it refuses to acknowlege that and continues blocking, but
occasionally it WONT block for reasons I honestly cannot explain, which then
the flash download window just has a little box with an 'x' in it.

Come on! This is so annoying! There's no reason for it not to work! its like
it just chooses not to! what am I supposed to do?

If you have any advice or solutions for this then please, please, please
reply! I will be very grateful for a fix for this.
