Shockwave Adobe Flash 10.2.152.32 won't play anything imbedded using *my* User Account in WinXP SP3(for ex.: items on HuffPost/none of Hulu/no streaming radio stations' broadcasts listening functions, eg, 'radioplayer' and 'mediaplayer' in these sites' windows' addies/ no Vimeo (for ex.: someone streaming a view of a backyard bird's nest). YouTube is not a problem at all.
Firefox 3.6.14 ; 32-bit OS
Flash stopped working on my "user account" in XP when i updated Flash two days ago March 8 2011 AND then updated to IE 8 (from 6)(which we don't use) and also to SP3 for WinXP (from SP2)(not Pro). All the Microsoft updating took about an hour, maybe longer.
Turning off Hardware Acceleration had no effect.
Uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe Flash Player from Adobe's site.
Adobe plays any and all on the DH's user account, but nothing plays on my "side".
I have administrator status and all that.
Checked many FFsettings for allowing javascript, popups, internet zone medium security, etc.
NoScript to allow all or just the strictly needed, in attempts to diagnose this prob, when on a webpage.
Shockwave Flash in Add-Ons is "enabled" bec I noticed yesterday that it was somehow disabled.
Shut down and restarted three times while allowing it plenty of time to do so properly.
MS Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8 in my add-ons, also.
"HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Plug-in 1.0" in my Add-ons.
AVG Antivirus Free Edition 2011.
Using Sandboxie; however, I use Firefox without the sandbox and do restarts (and i'm careful to save stuff from the sandbox when closing etc) when adding.
Turned off the Windows firewall at one point while trying to get video/streaming to play after all my updating resulted in this problem.
Curious as to why the plug-in says "Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32 with that little 10.2r152 underneath" but the version # i installed refers to *Flash Player* not Shock...blah,blah 10.2.152.32 when I obtained it-- is this just terminology quirks or different things?
Thank you for your time; I read many posts to see if any were like my prob, couldn't find one.
