    For some reason, once i've installed the Adobe Flash player that some websites require, the website will continue to not load using that feature (even if browser is closed and reopened). Each time I visit a page it seems I need to install it, as if the machine does not retain the software; not just retaining but actually using once downloaded. It would seem that Adobe Flash Player (or this feature) is disabled in some Windows setting/panel (i've made changes to the startups that run, could one of the startups disabled be causing this?

    BTW, when I'm directed to go to the Adobe Flash Player website and have downloaded the software, the installation movie does play.

    Try another browser (FF if you have IE or the other way around) and see if the problem persists.

    Also check your internet options -
    Open IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Make sure Java (sun) is enabled (checked)

    Link does not work. Thanks anywase.

    I've checked tools setting, Java is enabled.

    Want to try to find a solution without having to download FF (or other browsers).

    That person is trying to say try FF or other browser to see if it is not your computer's problem, but just IE7. If FF doesn't work either, then there is something wrong beyond IE7.

    I had the same problem with my desktop, What i ended up having to do was going to Adobe.com downloading their uninstaller then reinstalling the flash player and it now works fine.
