Flash Player control panel is gone

Hi  All,

I use flash player for videos on both Firebox and Chrome.  This morning, the windows opened fine but there are no controls: volume, mute, pause, stop, the timeline button along the bottom that shows how long it is or where you want to play -- all gone.  It happens in both browsers.  The commercials before the news article look different but they do have a mute button.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.  I rebooted and checked that I have the current 22.0.0 download.  AFAIK, no new programs or updates were installed overnight.

I can't find a thing about disappearing control panels here or anywhere else.

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks, sh
