I did not want to double post, I have posted this same problem on the Web browser forum, but maybe it was the wrong forum, so sorry for double posting.

My OS is XP Pro SP3

When I visit some websites with flash displays, I cannot view it, not in IE7 or in FF3.0

I get the error on the website in both browsers to upgrade my flash player to version 9 or above, with the link to the download. I have installed, uninstalled this update now maybe 20 times, with no progress. I even updated Java, but it seems that nothing I do can solve the problem.

Cleaning the cache after install of latest flashplayer also did not help. Restarting the pc also no help. Making sure flash and java are allowed in both browsers did not help.

The funny thing is, that on the Flash and Java test pages, I can see the animations I am supposed to see after a successful install.

On my cpanel>ad/remove programs, the latest flashplayer, shockwave and activex are showing as installed.

In c:>windows>system32>macromedia>flash is there, but nothing happens if I click to try to run it from there.

Both browsers show flash and java as plugged in.

Anyone that can help me solve this problem, I will be most happy.

Thanks

Hi,try uninstalling an loading an older version .see what happens .

Same thing with older version. Asking me to update to newer version. After update, it still asks me to update, even when confirmed the update was successful. My mind boggles with this for 4 days now. Any other suggestions?

start with the flash player uninstall program here ,use it,if you haven't all ready, then install latest flash player ,

I followed the advice in your url to the letter, and still, a big no. Flash was uninstalled, and the latest installed successfully, I can see most flash sites like you tube without any problem. But when ever I go to a certain site that does amazon.com flash links as affiliate, I get this message in the flash box on this site: You need Flash version 9,0,45 or above. Upgrade now

From my laptop, running on sp2, I can view this certain site without a problem, so I am beginning to think that this may have happened ever since I upgraded my desktop to SP3, perhaps? What will your thoughts be on this?

yeah ,sp3 did cause some errors with flash ,but i search google to no avail ,sorry .

How do I revert back to SP2? The XP disk I have is SP1.

you should find sp3 in add and remove programs ,in your control panel,it will show up as windows service pack 3

I uninstall service pack 3, installed and re installed flashplayer again, and still the same on that particular page, showing flash content from the amazon.com site. O boy, this old monkey have more Grey hairs in strange places now. Any more ideas?

you going through all this for one site,it gotta be the site, link the site ill try it
