Adobe Flash won’t work on IE8

[Halder]

I’ve tried a variety of fixes, including installing, uninstalling, updating, changing settings, options (Active X0. I’ve followed all the instructions from the Adobe site as to how to fix this problem (except one where they ask to change the registry settings, change the registry cause Flash won’t work on IE8???).

Anyway, is there a fix for this? I am using the latest Adobe Flash available from their site.

The problem is that although I have flash installed, whenever I go to a site that uses flash I get told to install it, you tube for example, won’t play videos unless I have flash although I already do.

If there is a quick fix to this great, if not I’ll just switch browsers.
I'm running XP media edition.

Thanks

BTW, I had to use firefox to post because IE8 can't throwing me back into the login screen (another flash issue??)
