Hello,

what you are attempting in IE 9 is not the Flash Uploader, but the HTML 5 Drag & Drop File Upload. This won't work in IE 9 since Microsoft in their wisdom decided not to implement / provide the necessary API in that version of IE (and hasn't yet provided a patch that would add the missing feature).
The Flash Uploader can be accessed via the "Upload" button in the document library toolbar. Is that not working (if you have tried that as well)?

Axel

Doh - I didn't realise that, thanks for pointing this out.

OK so drag/drop is only available through HTML5 which means that Windows shops will have to wait until they move to IE10 I guess.

Does this mean that the configuration that I used was a waste of time?
