    Anyone else having Flash problems?

    Got an Adobe Flash player update a few days ago that hosed my flash playing.

    No youtube videos will play, no wimp.com or dump.com videos.

    I've uninstalled flash and re-installed it several times now, makes no difference.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Win 7 home, has played videos fine ever since upgrading to 7 several months ago.

    Shouldn't be having any problems. If you are, find every piece of it you can and delete it from the drive and registry and then reinstall.

    Haven't run into any Flash issues in a long time.....even with clients that use IE or Firefox.
    I use Chrome myself...so plugin issues are pretty much non existent simply because Chrome has a better track record of plugin support.

    Youtube has a HTML5 option that works pretty well. I use Avant Browser as an alternative since I can switch between IE/Firefox/Chrome rendering engines if you want to see if it's a browser problem.

    Just updated to the latest version but still having issues. Flash works fine in IE so I assume it's FF. Now I'm getting random freezes just browsing, every time I open a new site the browser freezes for 30 seconds or so.

    Will mess with this more later, getting ready to leave town for a week and this is just a pain in the ass.

    And now it's working fine.

    No clue, this went on for days and now it seems fine.

    I having some problems too! Was working fine up to yesterday. I did not do an update recently but I have to find out if it was set on auto updates or now. This could be a big problem because our online email at work uses flash and I'm unable to get into to this morining (among other flash pages around the net giving me prolems too).

    Looks like they just released a *new* new update, everything is seems good now. Even after it started working again last night I still had issues with crashes, they seem to have been fixed this time around.

    Not sure why but once I removed active x filtering in IE9 it started working again.
