Flash player not working after installing IE10.

          I thought I would keep up to date by changing from IE9 to the latest Internet Explorer 10.  Now I can't get the Plus net speed tester to work.  It tells me I need the latest Flash player installed but it  is already installed.  It also affects other web sites and now I can't even open electronic greetings cards.
Any solution please?

Hi Stan.S. I've just tried opening an ecard on this site  http://www.jacquielawson.com/ ; using IE10 and it plays without any problem, so don't know why it isn't working for you - but someone else might....

Re: Flash player not working after installing IE10.

Speed test works for me with IE10, Windows 7.
Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of IE10? You will need the corresponding version of Flash.

Was Flash installed for use with IE? There is are different files that may have been installed for use with other browsers.
If problem is not obvious then I suggest trying uninstalling Flash, restarting Windows and reinstalling Flash.

Re: Flash player not working after installing IE10.

      Many thanks for the replies.  When I was running IE9, I had two IE symbols on the taskbar - one for 32bit and one for 64bit.  On changing to IE10, only one symbol appears on the taskbar, presumably 64 bit.
    I followed the instructions and did a complete uninstall of Flash Player and then reinstalled the latest version.  Under Tools> Manage Add Ons it states this:  " Shockwave Flash Object.  Adobe Systems Inc.  Enabled. 32bit and 64 bit.  Version 11.6.602.180"    So I presume the latest version is there on the computer. 
Still no change with trying to use the Speed Tester or open Jaqui Lawson electronic cards.  I just get the message to upgrade to the latest Flash Player.

That's the version I've got.:) If you have another browser, it might be interesting to see if it works with that - the ecards site works for me using Opera.
Edit: Just a thought - if you haven't done it already, try rebooting the computer, that often resolves mystery problems.

I only have Google Chrome as a second browser and it works OK with that, but probably because Flash player is automatically built into it.
