I am not sure if this problem belongs here, if not, please accept my apology and move to correct forum.

My OS is XP Pro SP3

When I visit 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
