Macromedia

[iflog]

I am running IE 6.0 and am unable to install Macromedia's flash player or shockwave player. I have gone to their site and tried everything but it wont install. Could I have something in my setting somewhere that prevents me from installing this ? I can download and install other software with no problem.

is there any error message?

have u got activex downloads enabled? its needed
tools>internet options>security

Set level to medium or adjust custom level. and make sure the site isn't under restricted sites list.

install spywareblaster to stop dodgy activex, whilst allowing safe ones http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Im not getting any error message. It looks like it downloads but there is nothing there. I have my internet and trusted sites set to medium. I am able to download other things. This just doesnt want to load into explorer or anywhere and Im unable to go to sites like joecartoon.com because I cant get any flash programs to work.

Still dont get it. I downloaded Shockwave and it works. Still cant get the flashplayer to work. It looks like it loaded because I get the uninstaller and run it and it uninstalls but Im not able to run any web sites that use flash.

this might help, has stuff about fixing shock/flash problems
or try doing a search.

Have you turned OFF your antivirus program while doing this ? Java would not install on mine until I turned that off.

Dunno. Maybe it'll work.

Nadda. Shut down the antivirus program, set all my settings to low. Checked to be sure I can run active x. Still wont run. Im stumped. I have gone to macromedias web site and follwed their instructions to the letter. Uninstalled what I had and reinstalled. Still nothing.
