IE7 all up to date :blink:

My favourite site has just been 'renewed' It's Here!
and when I get there it is prominently displayed "This element requires the Flash Player plug in - download now!" at the top of the page, I'm sure I had it before, but anyhow, I re-downloaded it and all went well download successful, but the page 'buttons' still didn't appear, only the same message again '"This element requires the Flash Player plug in - download now!"' the shown page works okay, but I can't get to the other areas (as the buttons to get to the 'gallery and other places are not coming up)
Any help would be very welcome please :help: before I blow a fuse :whistling:

Thnx heaps guys, Ricky

Up-date:

In my remove/add programs, the adobe shockwaveplayer is installed but has no value (ie no size 0MB)
there is no sign of macromedia flashplayer installed!

In the link to add flashplayer plug-in from the page I have pre-stated (my favourite) I cannot access that link page, which is http://www.macromedi...=ShockwaveFlash

It sure has me completely bamboozled! any hep from you guys would be invaluable! thnx :whistling:

You should uninstall flash player plugin first. Then install flash player plugins for IE and/or firefox.


uninstall: type "uninstall flash player plugin" in google to find the site
install: type " install flash player plugin" in google to find sites

This worked for me. I hope it helps.
