    i have ie 6 sunni, and it refuses to work. but works a treat with firefox. but the facebook thing is the same. for some people that go on my profile it says 'page cannot be displayed'. when i tried it it said there was a flash problem then it went to page cannot be displayed.

    i wpuld recommend firefox for flash things defo :).

    Oh thats great that it works with firefox. Do I reinstall Internet Explorer before installing Firefox or how do you use the browser? Hope I'm making sense lol

    just use firefox as another broswer. if later you want to use it as default change it in options.

    i now just use ie for hotmail via msn link. i cant find how to change that so that it opens in firefox. :)

    Which version of IE do you have? I use IE7 and never had any problems with flash player using it. When I have had one or two corruption problems with flash it affected all my browsers equally (i.e. firefox, opera).

  • flash has never worked since i updated to ie7 but i find that it works in firefox
    firefox is a much better browser IMO and apparently a lot more secure than ie

    I was using Internet Explorer 7 and just installed Firefox so using it as my broswer now. Unfortunately still getting the same message ''You need to install Flash Plug-in in order to view Flash content on this website'.
    Not sure where to go from here :(

    I've just checked and I have the latest firefox updates. In add/remove programs its listed as 'Adobe Flash Player Plug-in'. Doesn't say the size of the file though? Maybe this is the problem. I've tried unistalling it again through adobe software and reinstalling it, still same problem? :(

    That's strange. When I installed Flash (9.0.115.0) using the link I gave earlier, in Add/Remove Programs I see
    Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX, Size 3.04MB

    Yeah its really strange. I've tried unistalling it from Adobe and reinstalling it. Just checked add/remove, it lists 'Adobe Flash Player ActiveX' and 'Adobe Flash Player Plugin' No Size beside either??
