What do you mean by "its not showing or working anywhere"

Flash Player is a browser plugin and only works in the browser.  Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome, so there is no need to install Flash Player for Chrome separately.  Google does block Flash by default, forcing the user to allow it for each session.  Once the user completely exits out of Chrome, Chrome deletes the Flash settings for that session.

For assistance allowing Flash in Chrome, see Google's help doc at Use or fix Flash audio & video - Computer - Google Chrome Help

If your still having difficulties, provide the following:

  • Operating system version
  • Web browser and version
  • Flash Player version
  • Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible
  • A direct link to a web page that demonstrates the problem
  • If you get error messages, please provide a screenshot

You can also contact Google Chrome Help directly for assistance

Thank you so much Maria, I found that it was blocked and I was able to unlock it and allow it to work. 

I appreciate your response.  I'm not a very IT friendly person!

Thank you Kind regards
