The most common reasons that Flash content fails to display are:

Pop-up blockers blocking Flash -

The most common cause of Flash movies failing to display is the presence of a pop-up/ad blocker
software that specifically targets Flash content.

Internet utilities blocking ActiveX -

Some Internet Utilities, such as Norton Internet Utilities, perform functions
similar to a firewall and may restrict viewing of ActiveX controls.
You need to ensure that your firewall or utility settings are set to allow ActiveX controls
or you will not be able to view Flash movies in Internet Explorer.

Plugins not enabled in IE options,or security settings too high.

Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash Player content -

After successful installation under the Windows Administrator account,
Restricted User accounts are unable to display Flash Player content.
Users who installed Flash Player 8.0.24.0 prior to April 6, 2006 must uninstall
using the Flash Player uninstaller released on May 11, 2006. Uninstall Flash Player
using the instructions in How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player.

Have you tried other browsers like Firefox or Opera ? (You should use one of those anyway)

If sounds like an installation issue more than a display issue.

The installation FAQs are also in the above link.

I've tried Firefox and I just can't get used to it. I'm using IE7 Beta2 and this Flash issue haunts me too. I don't leave my system on 24/7 so when I shut down, and then turning on, I have to manually uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstall utility, and then "reinstall" Flash to get it to work... Popup blockers on or off. It doesn't matter. Flash will work fine until I restart from a cold boot. Then the trouble returns. This happens with IE6 too

Try the XPI installation package for Firefox.HERE

Scroll half way down to "Popular plugins".

I downloaded the latest version of Opera. It looks pretty cool. I'll have to work with it a while
