This is one of my most frequented website,
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/?cc=4716 but there is a activeX application
which runs the video function which refuses to load.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I have tried everything from reloading
IE 7 to reloading Adobe Flash. Before this, the problem could temporarily be
sidestepped by deleting the temporary internet files. but subsequently, this
no longer worked. It is no problem with the site because my wife's notebook
and my office workstation has no problem loading the activeX. Can anyone
kindly advice me if this is some sort of inherent problem with IE 7 or is it
my settings?

Thank you so much in advance to whoever that comes to my rescue.

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

When you uninstalled / reinstalled Flash, did you run the uninstaller/
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_14157

Try this setting both ways- checked and unchecked.
Internet Options> Advanced> Security> check "Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer ."

Presumably you can view Adobe Flash video at other sites like Youtube. Or
can you?

If yes, I would try these in no particular order.

1) Go to Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons. Is Shockwave
Flash Object present and enabled?
2) Temporarily disable any firewall and anti-virus apps you are running.
3) Temporarily rename file HOST to HOSTS.SAV. The file (if you have one) is
typically at
WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
4) Set all your security settings to default at Tools > Internet Options >
Security (tab)

Hi Don,

I'm on a Win XP Media Center Edition Ver 2 SP 2.

I have just done as suggested below;

1) use the uninstaller and then reload flash.
2) the "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer", I have tried
both checked and unchecked.

it wouldn't work at first until I deleted the "temporary internet files" but
the problem subsequently returned.

Is there any other settings i should look out for?

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Hi,
Inline with Michael's suggestions (in this thread) turn on the Windows
Firewall from Control Panel> Windows Firewall and disable any third-party
firewall, security suite, other third party ad-blockers, etc. See if a
third-party program is blocking Flash. If so, look through settings of that
program for the feature that's blocking scripting, active content, etc.

Hi Michael,

I have tried all your suggestions and initially I thougth it could be my
panda antivirus. But even after disabling it, the problem came back. I'm
kinda perplexed because how come each time i clear my "temporary internet
files", it will function again and subsequently stop working. What could be
the possible reasons?


Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Hi Don,

I have tried everything Micheal has suggested but still to no avail. Do you
think I should give it a long shot and try reseting my IE7? I have already
totally disabled my Panda Antivirus but the activeX still will not load.
Worse still, I now encounter an "Error on page" when ever I come into the
forum and am unable to read the respective postings.

Cheers,

Is this website http://soccernet.espn.go.com:80/?cc=4716 the only site that
will not display an Adobe Flash 9 video? Or are there others like
YouTube.com?

Are there any useful errors (or warnings) in Event Viewer that might shed
some light on this issue?
Go to Start > Run, then type
eventvwr.msc
Click OK

I wonder if you created a second user account (with admin privileges) you
would see the same problem. Note: You would rule out such things as
corrupted user folders such as the TIF (Temporary Internet Files) and some
of your IE settings would be reset to defaults. It might be instructive or
could be a waste of time <smile>.

Hi,
With the warning that your AutoComplete passwords will be deleted, a Reset
of IE Settings is worth a try.

Hi Don,

After doing further trouble shooting, I haqve narrowed it down to a combined
problem with IE 7 and my current Linksys wireless router firmware. The
reasons being,

1) My work station at work works fine with the same site and it uses IE 7.

2) All the workstations and notebooks using IE 7 connected to the linksys
router in my home cannot load that website's flash application except for my
wife's notebook which still uses IE 6.

3) I have tried resetting IE 7 but to no avail.

4) I have connected a brand new notebook to the same linksys wireless router
and after updating to IE 7, the site's flash does not load.

5) Not to mention that I have disabled all firewall within the linksys
wireless router.

Thus coming to the conclusion that there is a conflict between the linksys
router's firmware and IE 7.

Is that even remotely possible? Please help me back on the right track if I
happen to be way off. Thanks.

Cheers,
Stressed Out!
