[SWFObject] Code Not working on Some PC's despite java beingenabled

[Geoff Stearns]

did you check the 'disable script dubugging' option in advanced options?

it's a known issue that causes the users to still need to click to  
activate the controls even though they are embedded using javascript.

there's also one other issue that's really obscure - listed as the  
last update here:

http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/12/15/internet-explorer-eolas-changes- 
and-the-flash-plugin/

so first look at the update from 2-21-2006, if that doesn't work,  
check the last update from 5-9
