Flach Player causing IE to crash

[elkmtn]

Please help, I am not very computer literate. I recently purchased a game
online called Magic Vines. When we try to open the game we get an error:
Macromedia Projector has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience. error caused by Macromedia, Inc. No specific solution
found.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player. I have turned off
Internet security and firewalls and I have made sure that active x controls are
enabled. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your time.

if it is referring to a Projector file then fiddling about with IE
settings will do you no good whatsoever.

Just to be clear - there are three different types of flash player:
1 - the ActiveX control. This is only used for flash movies that play in
Internet Explorer
2 - the Plugin. This is for flash movies that play in all browsers
except for Internet Explorer
3 - The Standalone Player (or Projector). This is for playing flash
movies that run standalone (on a PC they would be an EXE file). The
standalone player is bundled together with the game/application so that
the user does not have to have flash installed to be able to play/run it.

Sounds to me like you need to contact the maker of the game and report
this bug to them.
