macromedia players flash: yea i just downloaded this and im trying to play a video when i finish it says something about my security settings not allowing it to load activex correctly and closes

If you are on IE 7, then Tools/Internet Options/Security should have what you
need. Not real familar with that error, but sounds like Active-X settings are
blocking it from going through. If your Security for the Internet is set to
Custom, hit default and Apply. Then take it down to the lowest, Medium, and
see if the website works. If it does, then the Cutom Level button will show
what the current settings are. I'd put it back to Medium-High and try and
match the Active-X setting from Medium and apply it to the Medium-High setting,
so you still have somewhat better security than on the Medium level.

whenever i click "watch on veoh tv" on veoh, it brings me back to the install
screen to re install the player, even though ive dl'ed it like 10 times

then i still get that same error when i do dl it

If you are on Vista, I've seen tons of people complaining about the install.
Letting it automatically install from the web doesn't seem to fly well with
Vista. Try the suggestion from the other post in this category titled:
"flash player saying installed but doesnt work", by buymeabmw

If that doesn't work, I've found uninstalling it clean with the
uninstall_flash_player.exe works pretty good, start from scratch. Add "
/clean" after exe with the space before the /.
Here's where the uninstaller is:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1
Then after your download the install file, right click it and Run as
Administrator to get it to install. It should be in the Macromed/Flash folder
in your Windows directory, search for it if you don't know where it is. You
should see a different screen when you install this way that you don't see when
you install from the website.

If that doesn't work and other websites with Flash Video Players work, then
try deleting everything in your browsers history, sometimes that frees things
up. Just for checking, you should have at least flash9c.ocx on your computer
as I wonder if veoh is looking for the latest flash plugin.

Check Tools/Manage Add ons/Enable or Disable Add-Ons as well, make sure you
see Shockwave Flash Object in there and that it is enabled. Not sure if you
need Shockwave 10 installed too, but might as well try that if nothing else
works off of the Adobe site. Good luck. Lots of other posts in here going
through same problems, so they may help to try some of their tricks.
