Default Problems with Flash
Hi, when I go onto various websites, it comes up with the following message

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

I have clicked on the link and it says that flash has been installed successfully, but yet I'm still experiencing the problem. Can anyone please help as I have reached the end of my teather. Thanks

Try uninstalling all variations of Flash player in Add/Remove and download it again Hedge.

Hi Hedge.

If you haven't already, install Internet Explorer 7:

Internet Explorer: Get It Now

Then reset IE7 with this method:


1.Open Internet Explorer 7.
2.Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
3.Click the Advanced tab.
4.Under Reset Internet Explorer Settings, click Reset.
