Question

So I've been having this problem for a while now:

I can watch YouTube videos but any videos that are posted on Facebook or Tumblr don't load. I went to my Flash Player Setting Manager and found that the 'Plugin' Version was installed but the 'ActiveX' was not. How do I fix this?

I'm currently using Chrome on a Windows 7 32-Bit.

You don't need to install ActiveX for using Flash Player on Chrome. ActiveX is for IE use only. If you want to install ActiveX for IE, launch IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and install. The web page detect your browser (IE) and download respective installer. Please let us know if IE and FireFox have same issue with Chrome.

Thanks for the answer!

IE and Firefox are both able to play the videos: it's just Chrome that I'm having trouble viewing the content on.

Can you try this, creating a new user profile, for Chrome?

There are some people who encounter same issue with you. One of them commented to disable Chrome extention in the following forums:
