      Type 'opera://plugins' into the address bar and look for 'Adobe Flash Player'. Next to the 'Type' heading it should say either 'PPAPI (out-of-process)' or 'NPAPI'.

          This is what it says on the "Plug-ins" page.

          Adobe Flash Player
          Version: 16.0.0.235
          Shockwave Flash 16.0 r

          I can't figure out how to tell if it's PPAPI or NPAPI whichever one I have must be the wrong one because if I don't have it disabled my computer, (Opera) won't stop crashing even for a minute.

            Check the plugin type in opera:plugins.

                        Go here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
                        Select "Windows 7/Vista/XP/2007/2008" and then select "FP 16 for Opera and Chromium - PPAPI".
                        Don't forget to un-tick the "optional offer" of McAfee Security Scan unless you actually want it!

                            Well I rolled the dice and installed "Windows 7/Vista/XP2008/2003". The photo editing website I use "PicMonkey" tells me I still need Flash and when I try to watch a video on facebook it tells me "Flash player upgrade required".

                            I'm having no luck, ideas anyone?

                              Go to http://get.adobe.com/br/flashplayer/ using Opera and you must see the correct one to download.

                                Do you have plugins enabled?

                                Which version of flash do you have?

                                  What do you mean I "must see" the one to download? Using the link davehawley provided there was only 5 to choose from. And I was in Opera when I selected and made the download.

                                    I mean that the page detects your browser and OS and shows you the correct version for it.

                                      When I go to my programs these are the Adobe programs I have.

                                      Adobe AIR
                                      Adobe Flash Player 16 PPAPI
                                      Adobe Reader X (10.1.13)

                                      If I'm hearing everone correctly Adobe Flash Player 16 PPAPI is what I should using.

                                            I have windows 8.1 64 bit and play games on zynga and facebook and now can no longer play because shockwave is constantly crashing before I get in.I've tried 5 different browsers and just uploaded opera and it happened there to.I've been to adobe and they say I have the correct version,lol but apparently not for it is conflicting with my games.My browsers are IE Firefox,Google,safari and now opera.Where do I turn to for I sent a note to adobe and zynga.
