Description: A troubleshooting guide for fixing Flash Player issues on Internet Explorer 7 under Windows Vista.

 <p>A small troubleshooting and how to fix it.</p>
<p><b>Problem</b>: Internet Explorer 7 under Windows Vista doesn't plays flash elements (such as Youtube or Soapbox videos). You install the Adobe Flash Player 9 component, restart and still don't works.</p>
<p><b>Answer</b>: Download a stand-alone installer, such as the one from <code>www.filehippo.com</code>, and install it. Restart IE7 and you should now have flash player activated/available for all webpages.</p>
<p><b><br>Update: </b>Thanks to <i>the fallen one</i>, <a href="http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&amp;catid=184&amp;threadid=1243464&amp;enterthread=y#4480396">in this thread</a> there's another workaround to fix this without reinstalling Flash.</p>
