BBC/Flash Player probem

[bsnapper]

Hi all:

 

New here but hope you can help.

I like to listen to BBC radio 4 on my PC. It's got windows XP pro. SP3, pentium 4, IE8 and OE6. Just recently the browser is running without add ons (whatever they are, I don't recall doing anything) and now BBC won't play as it says I need an updated Flash Player. Looking on Belarc Advisor that says I have Adobe Flash player update service version 11.3.300,265. I'm sure I downloaded the Flash Player from the BBC website. So how am I now going to keep up with the Archers!

:confused:

Hi and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help,

I assume you are using Internet Explorer, the add ons mentioned are of course the Flash player, if that as you say has been disabled somehow, then of course it won't play any BBC content.

You need therefore to re-enable the add ons.

Open Internet Explorer, then click on tools. in the list click on "Manage Add Ons".

 

In the new window that opens, fist look to the lower left where it should show "Currently loaded add ons", click that to drop down the menu and select "All add ons".

 

In the main panel list if Adobe Flash is listed and showing "Disabled", click on it, underneath you will then see all the information and a button saying disabled, just click on that to enable it.

 

You can also look through that list and enable anything else you think you should need to be running.
