Question

Flash content on certain websites do not work (on any browser?!)

I have a problem that has been frustrating me for some time.

On certain websites, my flash content will not load on any browser (regardless of extensions being disabled, re-enabled, and the browsers being re-installed).

Take the TSN video for example:

Video - TSN

This content works fine from my work computer, but on my home computer, it doesn't load anything. Just a blank space where the video player should go. I have tried disabling and re-enabling hardware acceleration. I've also made sure to allow the flash player to save information to this computer in the flash settings in the cotnrol panel, as I've seen recommended in other help threads.

I also thought it may be an issue with my video card, but I upgraded from a ATI 7950HD to a Geforce 1070 GTX and it made no difference.

Here are my specs:

Intel i7 3770k

Intel dz77ga-70k motherboard

32GB Ram

Geforce 1070 GTX

Windows 10 Pro

Please help me diagnose this and let me know if you need more information.

    I should note that other flash content works just fine, like this Snake browser game:

    If Flash content works on some sites and not others, then Flash Player is installed and working.  There's something else in play.

    Are you using an ad-blocker, or have a strict firewall configuration on your home network?  Do you use a software firewall on the computer?  What brand and version of virus protection are you using?  Do you have any other security stuff installed that might be in play?
