Os Windows 7 Home Premium, reinstalled yesterday.

Browser: Internet Explorer 8, going to upgrade to version 9.
Preferred browser: Comodo Dragon 17.3

Flash player version: 11,2,202,197

The player works fine on YouTube, for instance, but Skritter's practice page - while working fine in Internet Explorer and at least loading in Comodo Dragon - does not give me any characters to write.

It's a good thing that IE does not give me any trouble, but if possible I'd like to continue using Comodo Dragon. Besides, if the player works great on YouTube should it not work great on Skritter as well?

Huh, never heard of that one before. Can you use Comodo Dragon's dev tools to see if there are any JavaScript errors, or other network errors going on? I can download and check it out, but it'll probably take me a while to get to it.

Thanks for your reply. On their site, Comodo call this browser 'Chromium technology-based'. However, for some reason the installer does not include flash player.

I looked at JavaScript and network, but nothing seems wrong there.

On my Vista laptop, Skritter works great. The same - latest - version of Dragon is installed, the same general settings applied, only there I'm using Flash 11,1; maybe this is causing a difference? I just noticed that IE on my Windows 7 desktop has currently 11.1 installed, so I shall try this for Dragon as well.

One problem I ran into, IE can access Adobe's download page without a problem whereas the same page gets stuck in a loop when accessed by Dragon.

Well, what can I say? I just reinstalled flash player, only this time version 11,1,102,62 and now the problem is gone :-D.

Now I'm confused: for some reason and without my knowdledge version 11,2,202,197 was (re)installed for use with Comodo Dragon and again the practice page will load, but that's all.

In IE, the flash player 11,1 is no longer there and it offers to download flash player. IE only downloads version 11,1... I'll get back to this message later.

Ok, I reinstalled it. Now, Comodo + Skritter = perfect. Let's trust it stays that way.

I have just seen something similar to this with Google Chrome.

An update to chrome (developer stream) added an updated version of flash, but left two versions of the flash plugin 'enabled'. This prevented Skritter running properly (but didn't affect all other flash applets).

The fix was just to disable the older version of flash by using chrome://plugins/
