Adobe Flash Help
 
Have no idea what happened but my Flash is not working. I've uninstalled, re-installed three times; tried a system restore; tried just upgrading; all to no avail. Not only that, I'm using Chrome which has automatic upgrades to Flash and, when I try to get Adobe Flash through Chrome, really can't do it. I can get on to about three sites -- this being one of them (obviously and thank goodness!).

So, does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get Flash back? I really need to do some work (and have some fun). Thanks!

Forgot to mention that pages that can load are now loading in serious slo-mo. If y'all can't tell, I'm getting seriously frustrated!

Does Flash work OK in Internet Explorer? Chrome uses an integrated Flash player.

You are right that Flash is integrated in Chrome. It is enabled by default but can be enabled or disabled in "plug-ins"

Because Dee can only get to 3 internet sites, the computer is running slow and she is having a flash problem too, it sounds like a malware problem.

Adobe Flash in Google Chrome problems? Here's how to fix them.

This might help.

Yeah, maybe. I always forget about the malware possibility.

Have it semi-fixed. Somehow, ActiveX was enabled (would love to know how that happened since I know I didn't click on it), which disabled Flash. Sadly, I'm one of those people who know just enough to be dangerous. However, once I shut ActiveX down, things began opening up but it is slowwwwww. Don't think that is my computer, though; think that issue is CenturyLink at its worst.

And, yes, Flash was not working in IE, either (forgot to mention that since I loathe IE, I only use it to check Chrome issues).

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
