Can’t view flash video in IE7? Here is a quick fix

Problems when you try to view a flash video, youtube movie, ect… in Internet Explorer 7.

- The video shows a blank, white box

- You can view it in Fire Fox but not IE7

- You see the video player but you can’t click on any control buttons.

- You see only a message that says” click here to activate and use this control”

Quick and easy solution:

1/ First, you need to uninstall the older flash version
2/ Then you need to donwload Adobe latest flash player here.
Close all your browsers then install it.

Done! You should be able to watch your flash videos now.

3/ What? You don’t like IE? Then use Fire Fox. You should have no problem at all!
