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 !!!

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! -

The new Flash player 23.0.0.162 fixes critical security vulnerabilities : "... if exploited would allow malicious native-code to execute, potentially without a user being aware."
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb16-29.html
Code execution, information disclosure, stuff like that.
Going back to 22.0.0.209 doesn't sound like a good idea.
And now the cat got out of the bag : we XP users may still be running 22.0.0.209.
Double shot of unpatched.
FML.

- Uninstall Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162 from Control Panel. 2. Download Flash PPAPI plugin 22.0.0.209
I don't think this is the solution. The reason I say this is because, I have set my Adobe Flash to be updated MANUALLY. So I dont get automatic updates and was using the old version 22.0.0.229,. However, the BBC web site is broken where I get the message 'Couldn't load plug-in.'.
Example : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37386017 - comes up with 'Couldn't load plug-in.'
So I went forward and upgraded my Flash to 23.0.0.162 and the problem is still there.
I am using Windows XP.

I went back to 22 and it is all working fine... SEE the Adobe Forums. 23 crashed Chrome and there was horror at google..thousands died using Win 10! It is a wide spread issue and it aint XP or Vista! Its all over. <> Adobe was fixing the Issue with Google. But Opera techs had no solution yet, the one I contacted said 22 was fixing the issue but why 23 was not working was Unknown. See links above.
