I.E. 8 not displaying Flash content

I am currently running Win 7, IE 8, and flash 10.0.42.34. I can view Adobe's
site and it states I have the latest version of Flash and things seem to work
fine. There are other sites, such as www.motionmro.com that only display a
gray box for the Flash objects. This issue is repeated on several computers
in my office but not all. 99.9% the issue appears on computers with dual
monitors but I am the only person with windows 7, everyone else is XP SP3.
I have changed security settings to as low as they will go, disabled all
firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware software. I have reset my IE settings.
I have used both the windows install clean up tool and the Adobe flash
uninstaller to remove Flash and then re-install both via activex installer
and the distributable file.
I have also searched multiple blogs, help files, knowledge bases, etc...
with no results. I am sure there is a quick and easy registry setting that I
can change, but have no idea where to look.

Thanks for any advise.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer? Adobe has not
released a 64-bit version of Flash.

How about if you use the following link instead of the one you posted:
http://www.motionindustries.com/motion3/jsp/mii/index.html

Does the Flash content load if you use this link?

Good luck,

You're welcome.

I doesn't appear to be a client side problem, but rather a web site markup
problem.

Using your original link, I could not get the flash content to load here
either in any version of IE(6,7, or 8). So I tried it with Firefox and was
automaticly redirected to the link I posted before the Flash content would
load in Firefox. So it's a problem with the site and not with IE or the
Flash Player.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell
