Title: IE9 virtualized: flash player prompts
Post by: Hermite15 on January 05, 2011, 01:51:35 PM
got that yesterday, about ten times, probably corresponding to the number of occurrences, the same dialog prompting to allow flash player on a web page. And no, add-ons, plugins are not set to be "not virtualized".

edit: I know I could have avoided the multiple prompts by checking "do not show me..."... but it's just that there shouldn't have been any prompt at all, as flash player should have been sandboxed in the first place together with IE9.

Logos, the red border shows it is running virtualized. Or am I wrong?
In order to update flash, you need to run it non-virtualized...
Sorry if I'm being stupid commentaries about what you already know ;D

I know it was running virtualized, but why the prompt from IE?

Come again?
I'm not following...
Isn't it suppose to flash to get updated? Maybe Secunia is starting/flagging the update...

no no, it's not update related at all, it was just about flash running on a web site. Actually hang on, I guess I would have had the same sort of prompt if running IE for the first time after a Windows install, so there may be nothing wrong, ie in virtualized mode, IE may have "understood" that flash was running for the first time.

ps: I got secunia, but just re-installed it this morning ;)
