My Adobe Flash Player no longer runs automatically...can anyone help ?

Question

My Flash Player refuses to run automatically, can anyone help? I'm tired of clicking OK each time I need it as I browse. This only started 2 weeks ago. Before that there were no problems so, I'm embarrassed to say that I must have somehow caused this myself. So far, I've gone to my "plugins" page and made sure everything is set as "enabled". I've gone to my Control Panel >Flash Player, but I don't see any changes I could make their that might help. I'm not sure what else to do. I have Win XP Home, broswer is Google Chrome, Adobe flash player version 11.6.602.180 installed. I hope someone can help.

The only extension I have enabled is Ad Block.

I think I was just about to send you email about this. Can you try the following in Chrome:

1. Type "about:settings" in the address bar

2. Click the "Show advanced settings..." link at the bottom

3. Click the "Content settings..." button

4. Scroll down a bit in the dialog that appears and verify that "Run automatically (recommended)" is selected in the Plug-ins section

Thanks,

Chris
