    Hi,

    I have a problem with flash player. This occurs to all the machine in the company. I have install the newest version of flash on all the computers with administrator account. But when the user login with their normal user account they are not able to view websites that contains flash contents. I have tried enabling all the security settings in internet explorer. They will just get the white box with a red x on it.

    This can be fixed by giving users local administraor access, then they will be able to view the websites that contains flash. Tried giving them power user but still no use.

    Is there something that I missed? I have enabled all the security options on IE and in the advanced tab for them. I have even give them write permissions to \windows\system32\Macromedia.

    I can't give these users admin access so is there something else I can do?

    Thanks

    i was really lazy setting up those registry permission. So basically i put hklm / class root as full control for everyone.

    VERY bad idea, upon restarting my profiles wouldn't load. Had to boot safe mode and do a system restore to few hours earlier.

    Then I think it can't be that, so I try editing the registry again by putting full control on the dummy account. Then again I can't load my profile, I'll need to do a system restore again :S

    It is strange as there is full control on admin account and you cant set full control on normal user account?
