Adobe Flash Player apps won't work on my Internet Explorer 7 browser.
All of my settings are positioned to allow flash and ActiveX. I downloaded Adobe Flash Player multiple times within Explorer. But heres the thing, I was having the same problem with my Firefox browser, but everything was fine after downloading Adobe Flash. I really don't want to use Firefox, I want to fix this problem with Explorer.
I know there is some issue with Microsoft and ActiveX, up until last week, I was promted to click the app to allow me to intereact with it, now I dont even get that far, all I get is a red 'X'.

Hmm... Maybe try to add a site you are trying to view to the trusted zone? See if that helps.
Can you get any other plugins or ActiveX controls to work?
