hey, all:

I have got a weird flash player activeX problem. Those flash videos on CBS.COM and ABC.com don't show on my IE7. They both asking me to install flash player from Adobe but I have already installed it and I can watch videos on other sites like youtube, NBC. etc. My IE using default security level.

Could anyone help me figuring out what's wrong. Thx.

Not sure about CBS but I *think* they use either WMP or Real Player. As for ABC, they just recently switched from Flash to a new player by Move Networks. If you want to watch a show on ABC.com, you'll have to install that add-on (which, btw, is fairly good).

because of flash player activeX addon doesn't load on ABC.com page, I won't even get to see that "launch new player" button.

Well, I'd say try re-installing Flash and give it another shot.
