I like to give credit where it's due and, in this case it is:
Thanks for the explicit instructions as they were sought.

I'm going to post this info, but I still shake my head at the thought
that there are those of you out there that use IE6 as your primary
web-browser for Win-98/me instead of Firefox 2.0.0.20.
I'm posting this to the Win-ME group on the assumption that these
instructions will also work on that odd-ball OS.
To install the Flash 10 activex control, you MUST:
A) Install some version of KernelEX higher than 3.6. So go and download
version 4.5 beta 2 if you don't already have version 4.x of KernelEX.
Download link is:
http://softlayer.dl.sourceforge.net/...-4.5-Beta2.exe
You should also have "Microsoft Layer for Unicode" installed on your
system. This was made by Microsoft back in 2001. If you don't have it,
get it he
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...42/unicows.exe
The info and support page for KernelEX is he

Post #2 in that thread will tell you what else you need to do to install
the Flash-10 activex control, which is:
B) You must change two registry values that identify your OS as Windows
98:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Change the value for "Version" from "Windows 98" to "Windows NT"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Change "VersionNumber" from "4.10.2222" to "5.20".
Once you've done (A) and (B), you can run the Flash-10 activex install
file.
You can download an older version of that file from he
http://download.gokab.com/download/S...2_36_winax.exe
Or you can download a newer version he
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas..._player_ax.exe
I know the older version works on my system. I haven't tried the newer
version.
Once you've run the version of your choice, it's probably a good idea to
change those registry values back to their original setting.
To test if your flash player is working under IE, try it on this page:

This will tell you what version of flash you have.
I can verify that flash content on these websites:
- google streetview (maps.google.com)
- youtube.com
- msnbc.com
All work fine when following these instructions.
