Hi.

I have an urgent problem that I need help with. I installed Flash Player 9 on
my computer and everything was o.k. The I installed Flash 8 and it asked if I
wanted to install the player and I selected yes. Then when I went on the Web,
I noticed on my website that my Flash animations displayed only partially -
none of the backgrounds appeared and were just plain white. This only occurs
where the backgound is plain and not an animation. The weird thing is, when I
open the file when I'm not on the Web, everything displays correctly. It's
only when I'm on the Web that the problem occurs. I've tried uninstalling all
the Flash versions and re-installing but that did not work. It is incredibly
frustrating. Can someone please tell me why when I open files whilst not on
the Web, they display correctly, but when I go to my website, the plain
backgrounds do not appear in the movies ?. And more importantly, how do I fix
this ?
Thanks

I've just been struggling with the problem for some hours and I finally solved
it. What I had to do was, from Internet Explorer 7, go to Internet Options
then 'Advanced' then click 'Reset' to restore all defaults. After doing this
the flash played correctly. I then had to re-configure Internet Explorer to
perform to its previous style. I also went from 'Internet Options' to
'Programs' and then clicked 'Manage Add-Ons'. I found that by disabling the
'Realplayer download and record plugin for Internet Explorer' the problem was
solved, and when I enabled it, the problem reappeared. So it has obviously got
something to do with this plugin. I hope this helps for anyone else who could
suffer from this problem. It's worth a try if all else fails - simply reset
Internet Explorer 7 to restore the defaults, and then find out what caused the
problem.:smile;
