Hi forumfotos

To obtain the Chrome version navigate to chrome://help.  This will tell you what version of Chrome you have and whether or not it's the latest version.

Please try the following the following:

  1. Launch Chrome
  2. In the address bar at the top, type chrome://plugins and press Enter
  3. Look for Adobe Flash Player entry and make note of the Location path (where Chrome is loading Flash Player plugin from)
    If the Location path doesn’t display, click +Details in the top right to show plugin details
  4. If the Location Path is something like C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Local\Goole\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash, proceed to step 5. Otherwise, stop and post the Location Path in your reply.
  5. Exit out of Chrome
  6. Using Windows Explorer go to the <PATH>/PepperFlash directory obtained in step 3. E.G Win: C:\Users\UserID\AppData\Local\Goole\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash
    Note: AppData is a hidden directory, if you don't see it you'll need to enable viewing hidden files/folders.  See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
  7. Delete the version number directory (e.g. 23.0.0.166)
  8. Launch Chrome
  9. In the address bar at the top, type chrome://components and press Enter
  10. Locate the Adobe Flash Player entry
  11. Click the corresponding Check for updates button
  12. Flash Player plugin should download and install
  13. View Flash content
