How to enable the flash player plugin in IE8

flash-playerinternet-explorer-8

I updated to IE8 the other day on my Vista laptop, mostly because Windows Update kept bugging me about it. As a Chrome user, I don't really care so much about IE8, but I do have to use it occaisionally to test website compatibility.

At any rate, flash seems to be completely deactivated, and I don't see a place to re-enable it anywhere in the preferences. I've done a bit of googling on the issue, but only found information about how to disable flash, not how to actually enable it.

I have the flash 10 debug player installed, and it works fine with Chrome and Firefox. What could be the matter?

I would suggest you download the Flash ActiveX installer and try to install it again. I had a similar problem on a fresh install recently and it was the only way I could fix it.
