    I keep getting an error message in Internet Explorer 9 that "an add-on for this website failed to run." It shows up in the little yellow notification bar at the bottom of a page whenever I try and load one of my pages that should be displaying my Adsense ads (and consequently, the ad doesn't appear). Since Adsense uses JavaScript, I'm guessing maybe this is a scripting issue with IE?

    Any ideas? I'm not running into this problem with Firefox.

    For my site documentaryconnection.com I have a one banner adsense ad.In internet explorer I inconsistently get the message "an add-on for this website failed to run”
    when the page loads.

    This is extremely annoying as my adsense ad will not display when I get this message. Ads display properly
    in firefox or chrome. Just to see if the problem was my laptop only I went to several other computers and had the same problem (adsense displays fine in firefox & chrome
    but not internet explorer).

    I finally discovered that if I go to add-ins in internet explorer and disable "Shockwave Flash Object" everything is good. This fixes the problem everytime.The issue here is that everyone and their dog has "Shockwave Flash Object"
    installed on their computers and it is causing adsense ads to not display properly or at least that is what appears to be causing the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks
