IE7 Doesn't Display Properly

[unclehappy]

I recently created a new profile for windows because my old one wasn't working properly. I managed to successfully transfer over all the files I needed, but internet explorer has a few kinks because I guess the software didnt update. Many of the pages I try to view have all the letters and images skewed to the left of the page and are semi out of order. But for other pages, everything looks fine but I'll get this error message pop up.....

This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js

I'm sure that there's some kind of software update I need to do, but I have no idea what it would be. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm new to this, but I could provide a pic of it if further explanation is needed. Thanks in advance.

Update your Flash Player.

...and Java.

ok so i tried doing both but its still not completely functional. i think they (maybe just flash) let me try to update and then immediately gives me a notification that i've successfully updated my flash player..... but in reality i haven't. does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

oh yea, and alot of websites have pictures that just display a red X in the top left corner....

Uninstall Flash, using this: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Install fresh copy.

ive tried multiple times to uninstall and reinstall adobe flash, but its still not working. it did work for java though. is there anything else i can do? also, is the reason that some images only display a little x because i dont have flash installed? thanks

Did you use the tool for my link to uninstall Flash?

[unclehappy]

Yea I did, and I even just now tried it again. It  seems to uninstall just fine, but Flash acts as if it installs completely, whereas in reality it doesnt. Is there something else I need/can do?

From what I'm reading, the above message indicates rather web page fault, than your browser issue.
Can you post couple of links, where it happens?

www.rivals.com  -   This site always has that pop-up in the very beginning at the homepage, but after that i dont see the pop-up on any other pages within the site..... However if I try to go to a commit list  (such as this http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.asp?Year=2009&School=7)  there are no commits listed where they should be. The rest of the page looks fine, but the place where the players list should be is entirely blank.

http://digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/music0.html  -   This site's homepage does not give me this pop-up, its only when I go the music lists page... which I included. Also, many of the pictures here (not all) are blank and have a red X.

Also, sometimes pages will look fine, but I may go to that same page at a later time and it will all be skewed. Or I may be able to view a video, but other times the video player wont even display. It's kinda like a hit or miss type deal.

Hope this helps a little.

All the above sites work fine here in IE, and Firefox.

Close IE.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?

What about Firefox?
