Adobe Flash Player Upgrade required message on Facebook

I am trying to watch downloaded video of my granddaughter on Facebook and when I click on it, I am getting the Adobe Flash Player Upgrade message.  When I click on it, It says I already have the upgraded version.  I have checked the security settings but that didn't help.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I recently had this problem.

I went to Chrome Setting, click Advanced, click Content settings, click Flash, then disable Ask first.

When I did that, the problem goes away.

READ THIS!!!!!

If you have a mac, & you are using safari, & you KNOW you updated your flash player. Go to your:

Safari Preferences - Security - then turn on "internet plug-ins"

If that doesn't work, thats all I can give you.

I had the same problem with 1 of 4 user accounts on my computer. The problem turned out to be that the Adobe Shockwave add-in was disabled in IE on the affected account. Enabling it solved the problem. I must say, tho', that, "Flash Player Upgrade Required" was not a very helpful error message, especially as Flash Player was installed, current, and otherwise working. I'm sure Adobe could—and certainly should—do better. This was a hug annoyance until corrected.

Disable ActiveX Filtering (uncheck it). Took me a week of troubleshooting before that finally worked for me.

You will most likely need to reset Internet Explorer as your default browser. Go to the Internet Options in Control Panel - Programs tab - Set Programs - Set your default programs - Highlight Internet Explorer in the list of your programs - set as your default.
