Re: HELP!! Adobe Flash Not Working on Sony Website

I was referring to JavaScript, not Java. Do you have it enabled?

Are you using a Hosts file? Perhaps there's something in it preventing
everything on that page from loading properly. Maybe Google-Analytics?

Finally, Adobe admitted there are sometimes issues with the most recent
version of Flash and IE7. You actually may need to *revert* to Version
8!

Or, as Shenan suggested, use another browser, such as Opera or Firefox.

FWIW, I'm able to see the Flash content on that page. But right now I'm
on my 98SE machine with IE6.

Hi, Daave: I have been reading some of your responses on other flash
problem questions, and you are very helpful. Yes, I have the most
updated Java program available. I am beginning to think it's the
website. (www.sonyrewards.com/en/home/wof/). I don't know, I'm at the
end of my rope on this one.

I am running XP Home & IE7, and I have the new version of Adobe
Flash. (9, 0, 115, etc). The Sony Website keeps telling me I need
Flash to run their site (www.sonyrewards.com/en/home/wof/). Now, I
tried Uninstalling & Reinstalling Flash with the Adobe website
tools. Didn't help. So, I uninstalled it again, then:

I also read on these help pages somewhere that you needed to delete
some registry entries. First, I backed up those entries & deleted
them. (In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia I removed the Flash
Key and Flash Update Key, as well as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} which Adobe
recommended be deleted). Reinstalled Flash. Still didn't work.

At this point, I reinstated the registry entries, since deleting
them didn't do any good & maybe they were needed.

I have tried disabling the pop-up blocker, running IE without any
add-ons, changing the security settings, making the site a "trusted"
site -- and the freaking thing keeps telling me I need Flash. Also
some Script error: Line 2 Char 1 Error Syntax error Code 0.

I'd like to add that Flash works everywhere else. Adobe detects it
from their website, their little movies run, etc. Tried contacting
the website & they are useless beyond belief ("we can't assist you.
Sorry.")

Can anybody help? This is driving me crazy - plus I really love to
visit this website. I still suspect that this is an Adobe/IE
problem.

Some sites require JavaScript in order for Flash to work. Do you have
JavaScript enabled?
