flash menu not working

This has driven me CRAZY! The website for my daughter's school
(www.wandohigh.com) uses flash menus which will drop down, but will not work.
The links are not active. The flash images on the page DO work. The site
works in my other 2 computers in IE (but not Mozilla), but not the one I
actually use. I have flash 9 installed. It happened with the IE version
installed on this computer, so I upgraded to the newest version (7.0.5100.6),
but since they still didn't work, I rolled back to 6.0. I've uninstalled
and reinstalled flash player (several times). I've set my security options to
low. I somehow, magically got them to work one day, but the next they were
not working again. Please send suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.
 
Hi Byrdie,

The menus work fine for me with security settings set to Default. I played
around with the ActiveX security settings for the Internet Zone and was able
to reproduce your 'puters symptoms, but was unable to identify exactly which
activex security setting was producing the symptoms.

Suggest you try the default settings for security in the internet zone.

Regards.
 
I've restored the security settings to default. Would not work. I didn't
think it would since the menus don't work on the low security setting. I've
also manually messed with the active X options, setting them either to allow
or prompt and the page still did not work. An interesting thing is the
often the page hangs up loading. Gets down to "2 items remaining" and hangs
up. If I hit the reload button the page does load but the menus don't work.
 
Hi Byrdie,

Try Clearing your Temporary Internet Files (Internet Options - General tab -
Temporary Internet Files - Delete Files button.

Also on my machine it makes no difference (I must have some setting), but
try clicking on the flash control (depending on your version of windows you
should be seeing a message when you move your cursor over the flash control
asking to click the control to activate it.)

If you don't see such a message then you probably have not got the latest
version of Internet Explorer. Go to the Windows Update Site (Tools > Windows
Update menu or Start>Windows Update menu) to get all patches and fixes for
your version of Windows.

Hope somewhere theres a fix for you.

Regards.
 
Rob,
Thanks so much for your time. I actually did figure out the temporary
internet files last night. I also increased the amount of space alloted to
them. I think it may have been too low. All is working well now!! You have
no idea how much time I spent on that. I could not let it go.
Thanks again for your time.

The ideal setting for TIF is 50 MB. When TIF gets set a lot larger IE
starts to lose control of it.
