If you're seeing video fail on one and only one site, it's probably not Flash.  All of the relevant major commercial video uses H.264 video, which is working fine.  There *is* an issue that affects video playback with the Nellymoser audio codec, but Nellymoser is typically present with the On2/VP6 video codec, so it's primarily relevant for things like cam chat sites.  If you're watching modern video (Hulu, YouTube, etc), this would not be the problem.

My guess is that either there's a problem between you and NBC, or you have a third-party plugin that's preventing the page from working as intended.  For sites where commercials pay the bills, things like ad-blockers and anti-tracking plugins can frequently break playback.

To narrow down the root-cause, work through the video troubleshooting guide and report your results:

It's fixed! I deleted everything Adobe on my machine and made double sure that all registry items related to Adobe were gone and everything is back to normal. Thanks you all for your patience with me. Now I wonder which Adobe things were conflicting. I suppose I'll find out when I have a need for the pdf editors etc. and put them back in.

Yes, deleting everything Adobe-related may have worked, but let's be real... The CORRECT solution probably has something to do with NBC's web guys being freaking stupid. How many computers (Mac or PC) have Adobe software on them!? I guarantee some of the NBC web guys have Adobe software. This is their fault, not Adobe's. Their video portal is just a hot, unreliable mess.

I wonder if it's a driver issue. What video cards are people using in this thread? Mine is a Republic of Gamers GTX 760 4gig. Nvidia driver v.350.12 rel 4/13/2015.

After I re-installed chrome last week, which fixed the problem for a few days, the pepperflash player was placed in a different directory than before. The new location below.

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 17.0.0.169
Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0

I re-installed Chrome on April 13 and could play NBC video for a few days before not being able to.

Then Chrome and the pepperflash plugin updated themselves on April 17.

Chrome version is now 42.0.2311.90 m

Pepperflash is 17.0.0.169.

It still did not work until I deleted the history and content licenses.

This question is NOT answered just because one person fixed his problem by reinstalling. I've submitted the bug.

Do other video sites work?  YouTube?  Do you have any ad blockers in place?  Have you tried using another browser to see if it also occurs there?  If you right click on the black area, do you get the Flash Player context menu?

I just gave the site a try using Chrome but videos displayed properly.

Yes all other video sites work, I have tried Internet explorer and firefox also but they don't play the videos there either. and when I right click the flash player the context menu comes up, I tried changing the video quality but it just remains black.  I have something called spyware blaster it says it prevents ad/ tracking cookies and prevents the installation of active-x based spyware... I think this might be the problem?

Try disabling that utility to see if it helps.  I've found that some ad blocking software can interfere with video streams from content providers.
