I'd recommend re-installing the Silverlight 2 runtime.  I'm not sure why you're having this issue.  Silverlight 2 is working fine for me in both IE 7 and Firefox 3.  It could just be a faulty installation.

I'm able to watch the videos on http://channel9.msdn.com/ in IE7 without any errors.  Perhaps it would help if you first completely uninstall the Silverlight runtime and then try to re-install it.

The problem may also be related to your installation of IE7.  My guess is you could have some third party plugin installed or some other software that is actually the cause of this problem.  You should take a close look at what you have installed on your machine and try to figure out what is causing this problem.

I forget to tell that version before this- (RTW) everything worked perfectly with Silverlight but  when I upgraded to this last version I get this errors...

There must be some issue with your particular installation since this is not a common problem.  It seems that most other users are not experiencing this.  You should take a close look at what you have installed that may be the real root of the problem.

I just asked you to tell me why I can't see http://silverlight.net/Showcase/ in IE7, it askes me to install silverlight, but I can see in IE7 for example other Silverlight sites like:

http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=nd

I just know that I got this error when I installed latest RTW version of silverlight...Before that I didn't have this problem..

I'm not sure what's going in in this case.  Take a look at this article as it may help:

"When accessing some/all silverlight sites, the silverlight installation keeps prompting even though the clients have installed the LATEST version of silverlight". If you ever got into this problem, the ways below emerge as a better solution:

Try to run IE7 as administrator then access the silverlight site. If the site is displayed correctly, it shows that you may have had a WPF/E CTP installed previously, thus running IE7 as administrator makes Silverlight content render properly. The problem is likely a stale Typelib regkey in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The CTP has been known to leave behind stale Typelibs for version 0.8 and 0.8.5.0. The correct Typelib version for both the 1.0Beta and 1.1Alpha is 0.90.

If you are comfortable editing your registry then you may choose to manually delete the old Typelib regkeys:

HKCR, Typelib\{283C8576-0726-4DBC-9609-3F855162009A}.8
HKCR, Typelib\{283C8576-0726-4DBC-9609-3F855162009A}.8.5.0

If Silverlight in IE7 doesn’t work as administrator but you may have had a CTP installed previously you might also see if you have either of these keys under HKLM. If so, you can delete these two as well.
HKLM, SOFTWARE\Classes\Typelib\{283C8576-0726-4DBC-9609-3F855162009A}.8
HKLM, SOFTWARE\Classes\Typelib\{283C8576-0726-4DBC-9609-3F855162009A}.8.5.0

 THIS  SOLUTION IS NOT WORKING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

Just to confirm: are you running the 32bit version of IE on a 32bit or 64bit OS?

(Silverlight is not compatible with 64bit IE on a 64bit OS)

Hi Marko,

Would you please reinstall all the Silverlight related component?  Please take a look at my reply on this thread.

Best regards,

There are several forums on this subject.  I have tried everything to no avail.  Even if I uninstall version 2 and go back to version 1, it no longer works, except for certain pages, which I think must be RTW 2.0 created.  These pages work for me.

These do not:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en

 Anyone else just partially working?  A few posts up, someone said that if he uninstalled and reinstalled, it would work one time and then he would have to repeat the reinstall.  That does not work for me.  Sorry that I don't have any more answers.

I am experiencing the same problem of Silverlight working in Firefox but not in IE7.

The two pages that worked for you, don't work for me either though.

Hi Marko,

How about your problem now?   Did you fix it?  Did you do the steps as I said on my reply?   Please let me know the result.

Best regards,

I am another that has issues displaying Silverlight sites in IE7 but, not in Firefox.  I have read indications there may be a conflict with the AVG free version.  If AVG is the issue, is there a work around for this?
