I have recently upgraded my PC to Windows XP Sp2, after doing a clean install of Windows XP SP1 Home Edition. However, now i cannot view the flash animation on MsgPlus.net. I get told that i need to install Macromedia Flash 7, i have gone to the provided link, and the Macromedia site tells me that the Flash 7 install is complete. Then i come bck here to the website, but i still cant view te animation.

Any idea's how to correct this?

Try with other websites, does it happen only with msgplus.net? What browser are you using? I use Mozilla Firefox and recently msgplus.net website tells me I don't have Flash installed (but I do, and it works fine with other websites... ).

I noticed the same issue the other day with SP2.

The flash on http://www.msgplus.net/ does not work in IE.

The flash on http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ does work in IE.

I guess it's some problem with the website, I still haven't installed the SP2.

Right now:
IE: Flash works OK everywhere.
Mozilla Firefox: Flash does not work in http://www.msgplus.net/, no problems with the rest of the net.

So, somebody played with msgplus.net's flash detection script?

The flash on msgplus.net works fine in Opera for me...

Works fine with my XP Prof SP2.... both the msgplus.net and the macromedia thingy

Msgplus.net works fine for me using Firefox...

This is really weird Why the hell does it happen to me in Firefox and to WDZ in IE??

This is what I get in Firefox (just a static image, no flash at all):

I'm still using 0.9.3, I haven't had time to install the new version (so I haven't changed anything since this started to happen). As I said before, it works fine with other websites, so the Flash player is fine.

* Millenium_edition has that too

it shows the same innhere too

Wheres Guido! He should know whats up with it. I'm guessing it has to do with Active X and SP2.

I hav this problem only on MsgPlus.net since i upgraded to from Windows XP Home Edition SP1 to Windows XP SP2. I'm not sure if the Home Edition is still relevent after SP2 upgrade as im not getting Home Edition written under the Windows XP start-up screen.

As said all other sites work fine. I went to Macromedia.com more than five times to install latest version of the flash player. But it doesn't help.

Anyone know who does the MsgPlus.net site who we can ask about this?

Edit: I'm using Internet Explorer

Once again, the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 doesn't affect this (maybe just a coincidence), the proof is that I still haven't installed it and it fails the same, in my case, only when browsing with Mozilla Firefox.

I would really love to get this fixed. I have the same problem. I am using Maxthon (uses the IE engine) and the flash does not appear. Yet when I visit other sites, flash works perfectly. But here is the wierd thing, when I surf this website with firefox, flash works. Work that out?

I am using XP Pro sp1

Yeh im have the same problem. As said in my post on 20 Sep '04, i was using IE6 on Windows XP SP2, and recently decided to try Mozille Firefox. Flash on MsgPlus.net works fine when i use Firefox but i soon as i use IE it doesn't. I'll try checking if my other PC (Windows Me) has the same problem on this site.

Download the latest Flash player version from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/down...ion=ShockwaveFlash

I went to the link lopardo and looks like I already had the latest version. The flash on msgplus.net is still not showing in IE.

Hmm....Firefox and IE both work for me. Maybe it's something to do with your browser configuration? That would explain quite a bit.

Like what? I'm really confused as to what it could be.

Disabling third-party plugins?

I haven't got any installed that would do anything to flash. I've disabled all my popup/ad clearing programs and the same thing happens.

Hmmm......msgplus.net flash is fine, so it has to be something on your end. Have you disabled turned down your internet security settings?

Still doesn't work. I've tried clearing my cache and hitting refresh. I've tried undoing all my Spyware Blaster and Spybot settings (you'd understand if you had that program).

what plugins do you have for firefox?

Er guys i think you've all missed it

msgplus.net uses a javascript-based flash sniffer.  If javascript is disabled, the <noscript> content comes into play, and in this case it's the same content as if the sniffer found that flash wasn't installed.

Why the hell no one told me about this?

Sorry for being so late

Guido, nothing was blocking the Javascript or Flash in my case, I don't know why it suddenly stopped working (I haven't had changed anything), I fixed it reinstalling the Flash player for Firefox...
