flash content webpages

[Guest karen]

I was having problems with ads popping up eventually found a virus and

cleared it but now unable to load pages with flash.

I know I unticked a box which mentioned flash ad web pages but I now do not

know where to look to recheck it.

 

Hope you can help

thanks

Did you install a program called SpywareBlaster? This program has a feature in

the Tools section called Flash Killer which can be used to disable Flash

content.

 

If it's not that program, check for any settings options in the security

programs that are installed on your computer.

 

Good luck

They always say backup the registry before editing it.

If you haven't done it before, I would not start now.

 

Create a file in Notepad called "disableflash.reg" with the 4 lines of

text shown between the lines below.

--------------------------------------------

REGEDIT4

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX

Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]

"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

--------------------------------------------

 

Create a file in Notepad called "enableflash.reg" with the 3 lines of

text shown between the lines below.

--------------------------------------------

REGEDIT4

 

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX

Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]

--------------------------------------------

 

You can make shortcuts to these files and then copy those into IE's

Favorites menu, or Links toolbar. Now you've got an in-browser way to

turn Flash on and off.

 

Anyway, I think this will work but maybe an MVP has a better

way. Did you try to go to the flash website and reinstall flash?

Maybe you should try this first:

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs

-> Manage Add-ons -> Shockwave Flash Object

 

If you left-click with the mouse on Shockwave Flash Object

it opens a little option box which has enable or disable

available. Does that look like what you ticked before?

Did have spyware blaster but it has been uninstalled but the problem still

persists. Have downloaded flash player and it is enabled but the sites will

still not load.

Any more ideas?

Have tried the other suggestions also to no avail!!

Did you restart your computer after applying the .REG files that Stephen Harris

provided? Post back if you had a problem applying or creating the registry

files.

 

The next thing I would try is to reinstall SpywareBlaster and look in the Tools

section and see whether you enabled Flash Killer.

 

Another option would be to go to the following web site and download the

registry fix from line 363, left hand column, Enable Flash in IE.

Re: flash content webpages

 

Did you restart your computer after you unchecked Flash Killer in

SpywareBlaster?

 

If you're still having problems with Flash you might want to post a question to

the Internet Explorer newsgroup.

 

Discussions in Internet Explorer General

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

You could also check with Adobe and see if there's a forum for Flash Player.

 

Good luck
