why does'nt Adobe Flash work with IE?

[Felix Komuo]

The Adobe Flash add-on might not work in Windows Internet Explorer if you're using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer or have disabled the add-on. ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9 can also prevent the add-on from working.

Here are some things to try:

Use the 32-bit edition of Internet Explorer. If you have installed either Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9, both a 32-bit and a 64-bit edition of the browser are available on your computer.

To see which edition of Internet Explorer you're using

Open Internet Explorer, and then do one of the following:

In Internet Explorer 8, click the Help menu, and then click About Internet Explorer.

In Internet Explorer 9, click the Tools button Picture of the Tools button , and then click About Internet Explorer.
If you're using the 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer, 64-bit Edition will appear to the right of the version number. If you're using the 32-bit edition, nothing will appear to the right of the version number.

To use the 32-bit edition of Internet Explorer

Enable the add-on in the Manage Add-on dialog box.

In Internet Explorer 9, turn off ActiveX Filtering.
