I have installed SP2 and everything seems fine… however if I go to [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) or some other sites that uses Flash detection it wont show the flash.
But if I go to a site that just has flash in the document, it shows fine… so it’s not an issue with Active-X…
Any suggestions…

Just wondering, are you able to view [http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)? I use a flash detection script on the home page. I am guessing you are able to view Flash animations on the forum without any issues.

When I go to [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) it says to install Flash (takes me to [http://www.kirupa.com/noflash2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/noflash2.htm))
But if I go to forums I can see the flash nav at the top and so on…

Ok - try to see what happens when you visit this site: [http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1\_Prod\_Version=ShockwaveFlash](http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash) It may update your Flash player, but I am not sure why the redirects are causing an issue for you. Have you tried adjusting your Internet Security settings?
Go to Tools | Internet Options. Click the tab for Security and press the Custom Level button. Try to ensure that you have Medium selected in the drop-down menu, and/or press the Reset button to rest your security settings.

I’ve got the newest Flash Plugin 7,0,19,0
It will play on most sites, but for Macromedia’s homepage, kirupa’s homepage, and a few others that use flash redirect…

I have no idea why it isn’t working then ☹ There may be some setting that is preventing your computer from sending data about whether you have the Flash Player or not, but I hope that the other, more security-savvy people have a solution for you!

my flash detect is working correctly…perhaps try to clear your cache and then reload the pages?
also uninstall the flash plugin and reinstall it.
