Hi There...
I've just discovered that my girlfriend's PC won't play embedded videos from the likes of gametrailers.com, youtube.com, etc.
The site will ask for the AcitveX control to be installed, but upon choosing to install it, nothing happens. Further visits to the page results in the same behaviour - the site acts as if it isn't installed at all.
I've tried uninstalling IE7 and then reinstalling it.
I've tried using the Flash Player uninstaller from the Adobe website, then reinstalling it, all with reboots in between, but still no change.
Not really sure where to turn.
I can download the videos just fine, and play them in Windows Media Player.
Any idea what the problem is, or what things I can try to get it all working again, other than doing a full reinstall?
Oh, it's on XP btw.
Thanks in advance.
