Here might be something to point you in the right direction, sorry to our list
members, it's a bit long.
Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 problems – and Adobe Flash updates
Posted on November 15th, 2013 at 07:08 woody 34 comments
This just in from EP:
Adobe has released new security updates for Flash Player versions 11.7 and 11.9
for Windows in Adobe security bulletin APSB13-26:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-26.html
There are some problems with Internet Explorer 11 under both Windows 7 and
Windows 8.1.
First problem – Google and Outlook Web Access don’t seem to work correctly with
IE11 on Win8.1 as mentioned at The Register site:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/21/internet_explorer_11_breaks_google_outlook_web_access/
Second problem – blurry fonts occurring on IE11 on Win7 SP1 as mentioned in
this recent Softpedia.com article:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Internet-Explorer-11-for-Windows-7-Blurry-Font-Issues-398251.shtml
In short, those using any version of Windows with Adobe Flash Player should
install the most recent flash player security updates. And those using Windows
7 should be using either IE9 or IE10 but do not upgrade Internet Explorer to
IE11 until the problems with IE11 get resolved.
Thanks, as always, EP!

EP’s mail is interesting – I did Black Tuesdays updates [Win 7] including IE11.
Videos from sports sites would not run and the problem was with Silverlight.
Kept telling me to install and then told me I already had the current version.
In tandem to this I kept getting Flash updates which I already had. There was a
utilities program I run which wouldn’t after the updates.[Tuneup Utilities
2014] I restored back to pre Black Tuesday and all was well. I have to work out
which of the upgrades was causing me the grief!
Thanks

I had problems with ie 11 and flash. I would download and install, but on
restart it would say I needed the new ver of flash. went through this several
times, finally restored back to ie 9. I never got ie 10 to work either.

Same thing here with 10, had to restore back to 9… and my flash still isn’t
working; have to use Chrome to watch videos. Also, my SimplePass would not work
with 10. Think I’ll wait a bit longer to try 11.

Yes I’m having problems with my flash player for IE 11 when I upgraded to Win
8.1.
Web site keeps asking to upgrade to the latest flash player but when I do
Adobes web site says flash player installed already and some thing about it
being integrated in the operating system. Contacted Microsoft three time no
help.
First time told me it was Adobe update problem.
Second time had to reinstall YouTube app.(Seemed to help).
Third time was told it was the web sites them selves problem.
Doesn’t make since to me because Google chrome still works fine.
I am a computer novice and was really starting to like Windows 8 Start Screen.
I was excited about the new features with 8.1 but now I’m just frustrated.

@Victor -
Hard to say, but if I had to guess, I’d say the web site itself – the one
that’s telling you that you need a later Flash Player – is at fault.
ON the other hand, many people are reporting problems with Flash under IE 11.
See, for
example,http://news.softpedia.com/news/Flash-Not-Working-on-Internet-Explorer-11-for-Some-Users-398893.shtml

Fixed Flash player for IE 11
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/flash-player-not-working-on-my-windows-81/0bff4328-e4c6-4b71-9b8a-9657ade59636.
Don’t know if this link works.
Here is what I did to fix flash problem.
Had to reset IE 11
Go to Control Panel then click Network and Internet click Internet Options that
should take you to the Internet Properties window click the Advanced tab then
find the Reset Internet Explore Settings button click on it and a warning comes
up (Are you sure you want to reset) click that button and when it done
resetting (Green check marks) restart computer.
Worked for me.
Flash player is working on all my web sites now.
Hope this helps other with the same problem.

Same problem others have reported. Win7 and IE 11 for sure cause a problem with
Adobe Flash Player. It’s obvious Microsoft isn’t too concerned – they have
moved on to Win8 and those of us who haven’t, well, uninstall 11 and go back to
10, 9 or 8, whichever works best for you. Seriously makes a guy think of using
Chrome or Firefox…

Similar problems, Intel driver update site doesn’t even install/seek correctly.
Went back to IE10 all is well until next time…
