Adobe Flash won’t work on IE8

[Halder]

Shockwave Flash Object, version 10.0.45.2 is on there and it is enabled. Flash does not seem to work on any page that requires it, youtube, and all sorts of others. It seems to me that either the system is not recognizing flash or something is preventing it from running. I have kaspersky but I don't think that is it. Could it be a video driver?

I had a major computer crash 2 weeks ago and some techies at best buy reinstalled XP for me, when they did this they installed IE8 which comes with flash with it. When they reinstalled XP could they have disabled something or left something out? The flash player being installed on the system and webpages not recognizing it is pretty universal so I am thinking it's something on my system that is not set right.

I finally figured it out. Thanks for the link to the posts but I found a solution not mentioned in those posts which corrected the problem.

Adobe Flash Player won't run on IE8
There was a command string that was telling IE8 to start with add ons disabled even though they appeared enabled. The command string was deleted and IE8 started with all add ons running normally.

Adobe Flash Player won't run on Firefox
Java was disabled on Firefox, enabled Java and problem corrected

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts and offer some solutions, I greatly appreciate your efforts. Hopefully, my fixes will help others with similar problems

Thanks again
