Problem with Flash in Chrome

Recently my Flash has been acting generally weird. I cannot view certain flash videos, although youtube works, and Flash is not allowing me to set websites store data, making it impossible to use many flash-dependent websites. When I attempt to fix this with the Flash global settings manager, it simply does not save my choices, and does not even let me click the "Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer", which is what I need to fix it. Also, even if I make sure I am signed in, every time I navigate to the Global Settings Security page, it seems to log me out. Any help with allowing Flash to save my settings, or why videos aren't working in Chrome?

    Try the following

    • close all browser windows and open Windows Explorer
    • in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
    • delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
    • in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
    • delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there

    Now try again to change any Flash Player settings.

    Hello.

    I have the same problem with Google Chrome looking videos in youtube and others web pages.  The other issue is: every two or three days my computer download the same adobe flash player 10.3 program even though FPlayer is already installed. Something wrong with the update in windows vista ultimate 32.

    Thanks.

    Windows Vista unfortunately, 64bit Home Edition. I figured out that all problems are arising from Flash's refusal to store data, and that I have the exact same problem as this guy. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867094?tstart=0
