    Hi guys,

    I've been having some real issues with Adobe Flash (just as an FYI, I did a search and there was no answer that helped me).

    I was able to run sites that had flash perfectly until a week ago. I have no idea what happened, but all of a sudden I started getting pop-ups telling me that I need to install flash on sites that I never had issues with. This continues to happen in both Firefox and Safari.

    I try to install the plugin, but after going through the motions, it tells me that I have to try a "manual install" since the automatic one will not work. I then try to install it manually, restart the computer, and when I go on the Adobe flash site, it tells me again that I need to install a flash plugin.

    Anybody know what's going on? Any help will do. Thanks!

    Hrm, try uninstalling Flash, then reinstalling the latest version.

    What pages are you having trouble with?

    I'm having problems with essentially any page that uses flash.

    I've also tried uninstalling/re-installing it, but it doesn't help... should i take it in?

    Not really sure. How much ram do you have? Do you keep a lot of other windows open at the same time?

    The only page I cannot use due that has flash is http://www.manga.com/ghost/

    Edit: SWEET!!! That page works now :-D
