Never had a problem before, now I cannot use it and when I go to the site to install it, it says it is installed.

I followed the advice given on another post-Tune Up etc., and it still won't work.

Any suggestions? I cannot go to some websites because they require either the Macromedia Flash player of Macromedia Shockwave.

Thanks in advance!

Kim

Keith,

Did all that you asked, but when I tried to install macromedia again, I got the following error box:

error 1904.module
c:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8.ocx failed to register

HRESULT-2147220473 Contact your support



Thanks!
Kim

**UPdate** Now I cannot run a lot of things from websites. The gold bar comes up about the ActiveX. I click to download and click install or run Macromedia 8 and nothing happens. For instance, www.weather.com does this to me. Not sure what I did...

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter to replace the system files, you need the XP CD.

System File Check will show an on screen blue progress bar, reboot when the bar goes


Can you see this site

Keith,

I tried this step. When I run this line, the following box comes up:

Windows File Protection
Please wait while Windows verifies that all protected files are intact and in their original versions


It takes about 20 minutes, then the box disappears. Nothing else pops up and I haven't had to us my XP cd.

I cannot see the macrodmedia flash portion of the website you listed.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
Kim

It didn't need to replace any files

If you move around the site then it should prompt you to install macromedia 8
