Does your IE show other Flash sites? Maybe it doesn't have Flash installed, or has a blocker?

Alan,
Since you report version 2.1, that should be the DHTML menu builder. Can you provide a link to the site?
There could be any number of things causing the problem. Are you using the stand-alone free version or the one in the HTML editor? They both use the same code.
Are you inserting all the code in each page, or have you converted the menu code to a stand-alone javascript file?
The link to the site would be a great help in identifying the problem. Bill R.

Bill,
I am having the same problem with DHTML Menu. I built a menu and it works find in Firefox but is not visible in I.E. 7.0 standard install. I am using the Java Script to call the menu from a remote location.
<span id="vmenu"><td height="70"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SRC="/javascript/vmenu.js"></SCRIPT></td></span>
The page is located at http://www.franklingrace.org/index2.htm
Any help would be appreciated.

John,
You should start by using a a valid doctype. You can see the valid doctypes at http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html
I suggest you use this one as a start.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Copy and paste this doctype in place of what you currently have.
By using a non-standard doctype, you cause browsers to enter quirks mode and each browser has a different idea of how to display in quirks mode.
You may also want to replace the DHTML menu DAT file. You can get a replacement DAT File as a self-extracting zip file. In the zip file is a readme and the replacement dat.
Let me know if any of this helps. Bill R.

Bill,
Thanks for your input. I had read the posts about that issue and thought I had implemented it. Couldn't see the trees for the forest I guess.
All is well now so I can continue to develop the new menu structure.
I did download the new Dat file. What exactly does it do?
Thanks again.

John,
The replacement DAT file fixes some issues caused by browser upgrades. One example is Opera made a major change and the menu just was not visible. Another user with javascript skills made the changes, and I uploaded the self-extracting zip file. Bill R.
