Hi ,this problem has been screwing me over for the past few days. After updating flash player to the latest version it stopped working. What i mean by that is ,flash player is installed but isn ´t in the opera://plugins (My opera version is 43). when i go to Flash Player Help and press "check now"  it says :"Sorry,flash player is either not installed or not enabled. I have windows 7 64-bit,i have the right flash player version (PPAPI for Chromium browsers) ,i tried reinstalling countless times,i tried to reinstall opera as well,nothing worked , i can´t even reverse my system to the earlier state cause i don ´t have any restore point . Chrome works(of course it has flash in it) and Firefox works with NPAPI. But i don´t want to use other browser just because of some dumb flash bug.         For exaple when i go to UFC fight pass and want to watch any video it says "To view this page ensure that Adobe flash player version 10.2 or greater is installed "                               

I would appreciate if someone could help me and please be serious don´t give me advices like" have you tried reinstalling " and such.Yes i tried it milion times thanks it advance

Hi,

Please provide the following screenshots (see How do I attach a screenshot?)

  • Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features - showing the PPAPI pluing installed (ensure the Version column is visible)
  • directory contents of C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash andC:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
  • Opera about:plugins Flash Player section with details listed (click the Show Details button at the top right of the page to display the plugin details)
  • Opera settings page 'websites' section - screenshot of the 'Flash section'
  • Does the behaviour reproduce on with other Flash content (something not requiring an account to view)?  If so, provide the direct link to that content.

Thank you.

Hello Maria,thanks for the fast response,here are the screenshots you asked for.

1.-Wasn´t exactly sure so i attached these two

2.-I forgot to mention i tried to copy this folder from my notebook(with same opera 43 and latest flash),which is working properly , but it didn´t do anything so i deleted everything in it(previously there was just  the "FlashInstall" text document if I remember correctly in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash .     and here is the screenshot from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

3.-No flash plugin in there as i stated in the original post

4.-Sorry my OS is not in english but you will figure it out

5.- Youtube and Twitch works without flash player so the only thing that comes to my mind is the UFC fight pass (that´s where i discovered something is wrong after the flash update)

Thanks for now, if you need any more info i will provide it, just ask.

Thanks for posting the screenshots. 

Did you have Opera open when you installed Flash Player?  If so, have you restarted the browser since installing Flash Player?  If not, restart the browser and see if it loads the plugin.
