Can't view flash on Win2000 PC, can on XP...

[DavidJ410]

Hi,
I inserted a flash code snippet into my web via insert, web component,
advanced, HTML and the flash plays fine in preview mode, and when I publish
to my local drive, but does not work when I publish to my web host. When I
use IE to look at the site on my local drive, it is fine, but when I use the
same IE to look at the host site, the flash does not work. I am on a WIndows
2000 Pro PC and I have the latest IE: 6.0.2800.1106IC

But wait, there's more...

When I access the same exact site from my XP PC in IE, I have no problem
seeing the flash.

And still more....

When I publish the same source to a different web host, it works fine on
both the Win2000 PC and the XP PC, so I am not sure what else it can be. I
have not convinced myself it is the browser or the host!?!?!

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Here's the source:

Tom,

It was just about the flash file not being displayed on his end.

Yes, it works fine on my XP PC as well, just not the Win2000 version I
mentioned.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Have you downloaded and install the latest flash version for the Windows 2000 system?
