        Same stuff here, Flash Player has just suddenly stopped working, it was fine yesterday and now all of a sudden opera can't load the plug-in.

        Have you at least tried disabling the Flash plugin in Opera and then re-enabling it?

            I have just made a discovery, it may be irrelevant, I just don't know.

            I am using Win 8 with IE 10. I have just been trying to use IE on my machine, something I never do normally. It didn't seem to work properly. There was a message at the bottom of the MS startup page about "We have updated our conditions" - click to learn more etc. It didn't work either.

            I found I could get IE to work only in InPrivate viewing. I found this on the Internet as a fault. Anyway.... to cut a long story short, I disabled some IE add-ons and restarted and it started working. When I got IE into some working order I could read these "new conditions". Went on for pages about licensing and privacy, didn't actually read them! These seem to date from July this year, as I don't use IE I have only just seen them.

            Now IE appears to be working and I can gain access to all the options and the Tools etc on the main menu bar. It seems it may be working again (cross fingers). Could this all be the usual MS cock-up? Perhaps you need to have read this stuff, or at least accessed it, before IE is allowed to continue working correctly? If so, perhaps this has knock on consequences for the rest of the OS and possibly for browsers using the OS. Don't ask me as I have not the slightest idea. But it may be worth checking out. Or not.

              Forget all that. IE 10 works OK on my PC only if all the extensions/plug-ins are disabled. I have no idea what is going on. Doubtless something to do with some MS OS update.

                FLASH 23 IN OPERA DOES NOT LOAD TO ALLOW USTREAMS SITE TO SHOW! WAS WORKING WELL IN VER 22! I then tried to do a clean install of ADOBE SHOCKWAVE PLAYER,,, ahhh when i went to Adobes site, BOING it would not do the download because,, Guess What? FLASH PLAYER plugin at Adobe thru OPERA would not load. SO the ISSUE is between Opera and Adobe 23. ALL places for getting Adobe 22 have been erased and all links disabled, and only take you to 23. So by logical deductive observations, It is broke! XXX DOA! UNOPERABLE.

                  Flash seems to be working fine here.

                  Those with Flash problems have Turbo enabled by chance?

                    No turbo enabled, I ALSO tried turning it off and on again in the plug-ins section but forgot to mention it.

                      I am having the same issues with Opera and the flash version 23.0.0.162 did system restore takes me back to previous flash 22.0.0.209. all seems fine on the 22 version. Make sure you don't have it set to auto update to the latest version though, otherwise it will re-install 23.0.0.162.

                      Thank you Tom Marshall, the information you gave me to fix my PPAPI Flash worked and i have no problems now !!! You RAWK !!!

                        In Settings, is plug-ins set to 'Run all plug-in content'?

                              It seems that you have a problem with your 'caps lock' key.

                                STILL USING OPERA 36, *WINXP PRO,

                                This may be the problem. Each day even more pages will start to fail because neither Opera 36 nor XP have updated resources to deal with those pages.

                                        I now have V. (22,0,0,209) installed, without any change. Any other ideas? On one website I do get sound, but no video. YouTube does work.

                                          The best recommended fix I have found so far is setting your pc back to a earlier period then once that is done open up start menu type in Flash Player click flash player then go into update and change the settings to either notify you or never me personally I set mine to never but when u do this make sure you are using any version before adobe 23 it will tell you on the update screen if you follow my previous directions if not you maybe need to set your pc to a earlier period with that being said if all goes well for you hope you should be able to do what you was doing before the lame update... enjoy!

                                            under Ver 36,,, BE SURE you have also the latest SHOCKWAVE installed,,, Be sure all plug in are ENABLED.
                                            Flash 22 is workin fine for me,,, IS it telling YOU it cannot load plugin? If it loads then its in and there may be other issues... MAYBE uninstall,, do fresh 36.0 then add falsh 22 and Shockwave. I was having trouble with not getting Ustreams and a news stream,, NOW all that is gone. WE all hope OPERA techs can find out with ADOBES help why some works and some do not? Keep us informed,,, SEND tips! thanks NOTE,as to rolling back system restore,,, Hmmm you might solve it,,, BUT think also what will be loss that you did between then and now and what might need to be redone... Give it some thought,,, LOTS of THOUGHTS!
