I've lost Flash in IE6.

I nolonger can view any Flash in my Browser, IE6. I'm using XP Home SP1.
Someone sent me a link to Macromedia that worked, then it was gone.Any ideas.

If you installed the KB896688 Update you very well may have lost your Flash
Player (along with some other embedded media)

There are several fixes available depending on your OS. Try:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909889 or:
http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip

If using Windows 98:

1. Click Start, click Run, type Notepad.exe, and then click OK.
2. Paste the following text in the Notepad document:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="ClassMoniker"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer
32]
@="ole32.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProgID]
@="clsid"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\CLSID]
@="{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

3. Click File, and then click Save.
4. In the Save in box, click Desktop.
5. In the File name box, type KB909889.reg.
6. In the Save as type box, click All Files, and then click Save.
7. Click File, and then click Exit.
8. On the desktop, double-click KB909889.reg, and then click Yes to add the
information to the registry.
9. Click OK to confirm that the information in the KB909889.reg file has
been added to the registry.
10. Restart the computer.

Hi,

Note that you have a line wrap issue in the text you posted for the
reg file content.

Ottmar Freudenberger have made available the reg file on his Web
site (using the REGEDIT4 heading so it will work on all Windows
versions):

http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip


Here is my standard answer when this issue pops up:

See if this helps:

Download the file OLEfix.zip available here (it is a registry file
that origin from MS Support, and it has fixed the ActiveX problem
for several people, getting this problem after installing KB896688):

http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip

Extract it and double click the contained OLEfix.reg file. Click Yes
on the dialog box that asks you if you are sure to add the information
in OLEfix.reg to the registry.

You may have to reboot your machine afterwards.
