slideshow on IE7

cusack01

Hello guys!
Can I please get some help. The slideshow on my homepage works on my IE 7, firefox and Chrome.

I test it on my wife's PC at work, and it works on firefox, Chrome but not IE7. She just gets a square box with a red cross on the top left of the slideshow. We have the exact same IE 7 version (7.0.5730.13) :huh so I dont know why it doesnt work. Is there some stupid IE compnonent that needs to be installed or something??

Also, I would appreciate it if you could just visit my homepage and let me know if the slideshow works? And then let me know what browser and version you're using? Link is in my signature.

many many thanks!

Your slideshow works here in FF3.5, IE7 and Safari 4 running Vista.

I would suggest installing Adobe Flash which is required for the slideshow.

Thank you very much for that John!

Another question though, if Flash isnt installed, how come it works in FF, and Chrome and Safari? Do these browsers use some other type of component to run slideshows?

All the browsers use flash for the slideshow.

Sometimes flash is installed properly only for some browsers on a given system. I'm not sure how that happens, but I've seen it happen before. Perhaps the browser gets an update and that update messes up the plugins? I don't know.

IE still uses ActiveX Java compenent so it's different.
