    You probably should try uninstalling and then upgrading your Adobe Flash player.

    And just out of curiosity, is there some reason you want IE8 instead of Firefox 3?

    Upgrade the Flash Player.

    And, btw, it's high time you give a go to Google Chrome and Firefox....

    You have made a very common mistake. Using IE. :)

    Microsoft still yearns to own the Internet. Despite all the press releases about finally complying with W3C Specifications, they still routinely fail Acid Test 3. http://www.dzone.com/links/rss/saint_michaels_blog_blog_archive_internet_explore_3.html

    Get Firefox. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html

    Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN

    Adjust your security to medium high and then go into your program files and go to microsoft and hit not the delete button, but the repair button. Sometimes things have to be reloaded when you download them while the firewall is on. They dont always load with all of the necessary elements in tact and when you repair it without being connected to your firewall after the instillation is complete, it fixes its own issues.


    Try that!

    I have no such problem myself at the moment with IE8.


    "I can't give give you a solution. I can just tell you:

    - I can see all of them, once I enabled Flash for the site
    - the two you cannot see use a different type of embedding
    as the one you can see (have a look at the source, search for the object tags
    and compare them)
    - why they are not done all in the same way is a mystery, looks like the
    author doesn't really know what he's doing and just grabs the code from
    somewhere else
    - I would assume that this maybe is a problem of the installed Flash version.
    e.g. either a newer or older version than I have may not display the two
    movies
    - I have version 10.0.22.87 (you cannot find out about the version from the
    add-ons manager, the Adobe plugins have a bug and don't update that value, you
    have to use right-click/about on the movie area)
    - it doesn't look like a problem in IE

    Hope this helps to get you going. "

    Hey all the answers are right, like enable popup's, try using firefox, and don't import anything from internet explorer, uninstalled internet explorer and reinstalled an older version, but I think upgrading your Adobe Flasher Player, shot down your computer and boot it up again should work just fine.

    Internet Explorer 8 has add-ons that can be disabled. Add-ons such as Adobe Flash Player, Windows Media Player and any 3rd party program that is not part of IE.

    To enable them, click on tools, and then Manage Add-Ons. Find which Add-On you want to enable and enable it.

    Also, if you are still having problems. Microsoft has included a reset button on the last tab of Internet Options. Click that, and delete personal settings. It will set everything to default and work.

    Please note because add-ons are third party, look for the yellow information bar at the top of the screen.

    -----

    On another note. I have had no problems with IE8, versus anything else. I had problems with FF3 crashing. Chrome is junk to me, and I used to love FF3. I'm testing the Beta of FF3.1 and I like it so far, but until I'm convinced that when one tab crashes the window won't crash, then I'll be good.

    Yes that is in IE8. If a tab crashes it doesn't crash the window.

    IE is coming back to the fold in following the standards and will again one day regain the top mantle in browser features, usability and performance.

    Everyone forgets that Microsoft end up distributing just about everything worthwhile as part of the next Windows releases...

    They have learnt their lesson with browser compliancy. For the record, I prefer to Coke to Pepsi, and you can have your Pepsi(Firefox).

    Go wear an Atari t-shirt and have cafe-lattes on a street-side cafe with your man-bags and green eco beliefs. I'm sick of hearing the "developer" community run-down IE. It keeps you in a job.

    If you didn't have to write cross-browser code - you would be unemployed.
