Might go to this page Remove Flash Player. Follow the instructions.

Then when finished removing the player, reboot before installing the free current flash player.

You have to be patient when it comes to Flash updates. They sometimes take an unusual amount of time to configure. As an alternative you could save the download to your system, close all open windows including browsers, and then install from the stored location. This protocol does alleviate the reference of the dedicated browser referred to by RC. DA

DA, watch that thinking while eating lunch...it's bad for the digestion! However it is much appreciated. Below are the answers to your questions. 1. Have you tried FF bare boned with not add-ons to see if this occurs? Ans. Yes 2. Have you tried a prior version of FF? Ans, Yes, just a few minutes ago. I un-installed ver 11.0 and installed the older 10.0.2 in it's place. I also un-installed Flash Player and re-installed that again. ...still the same results after shutting down and re-starting! 3. Do you have FF set to delete history when closing? Ans, No. Thanks, Horton.

I'm back to where I started with YouTube/Flash Player (almost)

I apologise for the different threads. It was very late, I was tired, and determined to "fix it" before I went to bed, and becoming more irritated because I couldn't. Here's the scenario: Usually watch YouTube music videos a while in the evening, so, day before this happened, everything was fine, shut computer down, went to bed. Next evening, logged into YouTube with the error message: you must have Java off or not have latest Adobe Flash. I had NOT changed any files, etc. Checked the Adobe I had, went to Adobe website to check. Installed the latest Adobe Flash. I also installed the latest Adobe Reader and Shockwave Player, since mine were out of date. And, although I didn't opt to install it, the Adobe Air showed up on my programs list. I also went to Java and got their latest updates. Videos stil won't play, so I came here with the problem. Advice was to go to Adobe site, get the uninstaller,download to desktop, close browser, uninstall Adobe again, then go to Adobe page and re-install. I did, and still videos won't play. I have an Dell from 2002, Windows XP Home, 32-bit, 7.30GB of free space.
