DJW Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That big MS patch release last Tuesday screwed up my adobe flash some how. Ever since then my laptop is telling me I need to upgrade to the current version. I already had version 17.1.xx. It would not allow me to log on our church chat room during our live streaming of services from HI Sunday. It keep saying I needed version 11 or higher and I already had 17. I uninstalled adobe flash yesterday and reinstalled it. It reinstalled with the same version 17.1.xx that I had. This morning when I went to watch one of the msn homepage news videos it would not let me. Any thoughts? Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Joyce Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Try uninstalling Flash Player and see if the built-in Flash from IE (or Chrome) works for you. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

DJW Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bill This is on a Win 7 Pro Machine. Is flash built into IE for Win 7 Pro? I knew it was built in for the DW's 8.1 machine. Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Joyce Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I used Chrome, so I didn't realize IE11 for Windows 7 did not have Flash built-in like the Windows 8.x version. With no support for Flash on iOS or Android, I am surprised how much it is still required by many websites. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

DJW Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks Bill I did not think that flash was built into IE for with Windows 7 Pro OS. Any other thoughts on why this is a problem? Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI Joe Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 This may sound overly simplistic, but my wife's Windows 7 laptop had the same issue and the fix was simply to turn on Internet Explorer, click on the "Tools" menu, click on "Manage add-ons", and click the "enable" box for Adobe Flash Player. Apparently, during that big "update" of Windows, the Flash Player was automatically disabled. So, although you had it installed (current up to version 17) Internet Explorer would tell you that you needed to install. After we "enabled" her Adobe Flash Player add-on it worked fine. Hope this is helpful. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
