Computers..... Grrrr nothing to do with fishing

[Graham Nash]

Right, I am sure some of you youngsters will know exactly how to help me  

 

I have somehow lost my Adobe Flash player on my laptop. At first it had gone from my Google Chrome browser but was ok on Internet Expolrer 9. But as I generally use Chrome as my default browser I wanted it on there and every time I tried to download it I would get a banner saying "only one is allowed" or something like that.

 

So .... I went into my computer settings and un-installed Adobe, Flash and everything to do with it and tried downloading it all again but i still get the same      Ive reset the thing so it saves cookies etc but it's still messing me about

 

Its now gone from Internet Explorer too!!!    

 

This is preventing me from seeing any videos, lots of pictures and is generally getting me close to picking up a hammer   

 

Any of you smart youngsters (or even smarter oldies)  know what im doing wrong?? 

 

Thanks

Go to http://chrome:plugins and make sure flash is enabled.

Other reason could be that you are using the 64bit version of Internet Explorer,

If you select the windows button -> All Programs and you will possibly see 2 internet explorers. Select the one whihc is not 64 bit and flash should work, ( It doesnt in 64Bit IE - or at least didn't last time I looked as there was not 64bit plugin )

I am running 64bit and have no problems viewing vids or pics

I see they have moved on. It used to be the case that there was no flash player available for 64bit Internet Explorer ( as opposed to 32 bit IE running on 64 bit windows ).

However there is now.

many thanks everyone. It would seem that I had disabled ALL of my "plugins"????? 

 

I ticked "enable" to everything and i am now able to watch videos again :-)
