    Hey,

    Well I wanted to try using Internet Explorer 9 for a bit and I noticed that no flash videos or Quicktime videos would play in IE. I go to "manage addons" and there is no trace of a Quicktime or Adobe addon. However, both addons are perfect in Firefox. How do I fix this issue?

    Thanks in advance.

    AFA Adobe flash, I have not seen the issue, but found similar issues w/this fix:
    Remove Flash with the removal tool from Adobe site. Download the standalone installer for the latest Flash player, and run it with all browsers closed.
    Hope this help, Josea

    Not to go off topic, but why would you bother with IE when there are so many better options?

    Anyways, IE uses a different plugin system than firefox. That's why you have to choose which plugin version you'll download ...

    Yea you right. However IE seems to be the most stable on a PC, obviously lol. I know Opera is the fastest browser out there, but it's not stable at all. I tried it like two versions ago and every other version before that. I need something stable and fast.

    Alright so I think I got both plugins working, will post if something seems faulty.

    Thanks guys. :)

    Notice, IE has its own flash player installer.
