Missing Adobe Flash Player ActiveX on IE 10
This section provides a tutorial example on what you will see on IE 10 with visiting a Web page that uses Flash without Adobe Flash Player ActiveX installed.
What Is Adobe Flash Player ActiveX? Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is an IE (Internet Explorer) add-on program that enables the Web browser to deliver multimedia information and interactivity programmed in SWF (Shockwave File).
If you do not have Adobe Flash Player ActiveX installed and visit a Web site that uses the Flash technology with IE, you will get an error, or a prompt message to ask you to install it.
Without Adobe Flash Player ActiveX installed, here is what I got on IE 10 with default settings:
1. Run IE 10 and visit the Adobe Flash Player test page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. The test page will show an empty area with a missing image icon as shown below:
2. Read the warning message near the page bottom as shown in the above picture. The warning message says: "This website wants to install the following add-on: 'Adobe Flashruntime' from 'Adobe Systems Incorporated'."
3. Click on the "Install" button, you will see a pop up box for you to install Adobe Flashruntime.
