I'm running Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, and IE8.
I "installed" Flash 10 Active X add-on, but it does not run. Pages with
known Flash are displayed blank where the ActiveX content is supposed to be.
I have XP machines running IE8 and the Flash 10 player, and the content
works properly.
I think the problem is in Vista, since the XP machines work right.
The Flash Player says the installation is complete, and there is a file
listed in the Programs & Features section of the Control Panel. I can
Uninstall, reboot, then Install, and the entry will drop and come back, but
the add-on does not run. Of course, since it's a free player, Adobe does not
provide support that is worth a damn, even when the troubleshooting guide
takes you to a phone number that makes no mention of the support that isn't
available -- an hour on hold, twice, before they told me they don't have
phone support.
There IS an entry in the Programs and Features section, but there is no
entry in START>ALL PROGRAMS to fire off the Flash Player by itself then seek
out Flash content with File>Open.
Is there an issue with the Flash Player and IE8 running under Vista? I can't
find a setting that has disabled Flash from playing, but that doesn't mean
there isn't one.
