Opera: "Couldn't load plugin"

Opera loads the Adobe Flash Player fine at home, but I get "Couldn't load plugin" on my office wireless.

I checked "Opera://plugins" and get the proper version listed at home, but at the office I get ver. 99.999.999.999.

Both show the proper version under the location of the file.

Anyone know what's going on?

You state Opera in the title, but in the most recent post include IE.  Is this reproducible on both?

What version of Opera and IE are you using?

When did Flash Player stop working?

Have you checked the to ensure Flash Player is enabled in the browser and that ActiveX Filtering is disabled?

Please post a screenshot of the Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features showing the Flash Player entries and the version installed

What wireless router are you using?


After trawling the internet looking for a fix and failing I went back to basics and uninstalled Adobe Flash 23 and Adobe Shockwave player 12.2. I then Goggled for download pages and installed the newly downloaded copies of both. It worked no more couldn't find plug-in notices.

What operating system is this on?  If you're using XP or Vista, this is a known issue, see XP/Vista: Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162 doesn't work in Opera and Chromium

Nope, I am using Windows 7 Enterprise.

As I stated, Flash loads in Opera and IExplorer at home but not at the office.

It works in Google Chrome at both locations.
