    Hi, I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer, any sites that require Adobe Flash like Youtube etc will not play videos with IE but will with Google Chrome. I only installed Google to prove that I did have the Adobe properly installed, I prefer to use Explorer which is version 9 and I have it set as the default browser,

    any ideas on what I can do or check, thanks.

    If your OS is winXP you do know that IE9 will not work with Windows XP,

    I'm no expert but did you try a re-boot.

    IE is crap anyone will tell you that, stick with Chrome or Firefox etc.

    Im in the same boat. Only its with Firefox that anything requiring flash wont work. Am now using IE9 :( as everything seems to work fine with that. On Dailymotion I get an "error 2002" message.
    I've tried all the usual uninstalls and re-boots, still no joy
