Do you have problems sometimes when you try to play a flash video?

The problem usually shows itself as the inability to play a flash
video, and the browser informing you that you need to download the
latest Flash plugin.

However, on going to update, you are told you already have the
latest version. Sound familiar?

Before going further if you are using Firefox

First try viewing the web page in explorer.

If you are using Explorer try viewing the page in Firefox.

If it still does not show follow below but be warned it may swap the viewing
to only open in the other browser. Mad!

I find I can only watch the video in one or the other!

If you can get it to work in both please let me know how!

The problem it seems is the Flash Player.

The first time you download it from a site requiring the plugin to
play its videos, an "on-demand" version is installed. This version
is not updated properly, and can cause the problems discussed
above.

OK, here is the fix:

1. Uninstall the Flash Player via the Control Panel.

2. Download the complete Flash Player package (be careful where you
get it from as some are the on-demand version).

Here is one page that has the full install: Copy and paste the link below into your address bar

NOTE: Scroll down below the Google ads to find the download link.

3. Install the player.

That should solve your problems.
