I'm getting very agitated at my cpu. I go to a site that requires flash. I'm
directed to adobe to install it. Installation is successful...always. I have
tried closing my browser and reopening and it still says I need to install
flash to view that site. I can go back to Adobe, install it again, reboot my
cpu and it still tells me the same thing. I have done all of the
troubleshooting tips and nothing helps. The only thing I can think is that I
have the latest version of Windows Internet Explorer 7 installed and maybe
Flash isn't synced with it yet. Is there anyone else out there with this type
of problem?:disgust;

I'm having the same problem. I've been running IE7 for a few months now and
Flash has been working. Suddenly today Flash is not working and the install
from the Adobe page doesn't seem to help. I've completely cleared my cache,
removed all Adobe items from my computer, rebooted and reinstalled.

Messages indicate that either Flash is not installed or JavaScript is not
enabled. I have verified that JavaScript is enabled and have "successfully"
reinstalled Flash but it still is not working.

I am getting exactly the same message. Flash is not installed or JavaScript is
not enabled." I have verified that JavaScript is enabled and have
"successfully" reinstalled Flash but it still is not working for me also. Who
can we go to so we can get this resolved. Its maddening. HELP.

I found another forum that seems to have a solution.

These guys have Firefox installed and manually moved the plugin and then click
on it to run it for IE7. I wasn't quite ready to install Firefox to get IE
working... unless that's Mr. Gate's suggestion. In any case, it's worth
reading. Basically, IE7 with Flash 8 or 9 can be problematic.
