<![CDATA[Adobe Flash player issue]]>I am using Windows 7 64 bit on my PC and have Opera 17 installed.

I like watching videos on Utube but I have not been able to use Opera because I cannot get the Adobe Flash player to function. I have tried installing earlier versions of the flash player with no success.

What I cannot understand is that when I go to Opera Help the instructions given do not seem to apply to the browser I have installed.
These are Opera's instructions:-
*Follow these general steps when installing plug-ins:

Download and install the plug-in.
Close and restart Opera so that the plug-in is detected. The plug-in should be listed under Page > Developer Tools > Plug-ins.*

When I navigate to Page there is no heading for Developer Tools.

Further on in the instructions it says:-
In some cases, you may need to configure Opera so that it can find the plug-in. To do this, add the directory containing the plug-in to the plug-in path. From the Opera menu, select Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content, click Plug-in options, then Change path.

Again when I go to Settings I cannot find Preferences>Advanced>Content etc

Can someone please help me get the flash player to work and explain why the instructions cannot be followed easily.

Try adding the url to the exception list for plugins (Settings > Websites > Plugins)

Every Radio Station that had a pop-up player such as KLOVE, Moody Radio, and LOVE101, stopped working. And it acts like a pop-up blocker. Under the OPERA Settings, I do have Allow all sites to show pop-ups, checked and STILL no sound at all from the Online Radio Stations that I use.

http://love101.org

http://www.moodyradiochicago.fm/rdo_main.aspx?id=44604

http://www.klove.com

What am I missing in the Settings? For example: When I go to that KLOVE site and click on the Listen Online link, the Pop-up comes up and freezes while it says Loading. Where all can I find hidden Pop-up blockers?

I just tried that: http://love101.org on IE and no sound there either. I got to thinking, I recently installed IOBIT Malware Fighter, so I will email their techs to see if it is their product. Will post the results when I find the solution here.

I don't see any "1,0,0,1" here.

Please check all the steps I posted above, downloading from Adobe and seeing if no exceptions are set in the settings, etc.

I am sure I am using Adobe flash player Version 11.9.900.117

When I go to Settings/Websites/Plug-ins and check to see if it is installed it is shown as 1,0,0,1

Hoping this helps.

My elation with Opera Developer 19 has turned to despair as I am now having the same problem as I had with version 17.

When I open Opera I get the following message near the top of the browser in red.

'You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Download it from Adobe.'

When I click on a video I wish to watch the following message is displayed in the video window.

'The Adobe Flash player is required for video playback. Get the latest player.'

I have uninstalled the Adobe flash player and reinstalled it but it does not eliminate the above messages.

I have gone to Settings/Browser and Plug-ins is set to run automatically.

I have checked to see if the Adobe Flash Player is installed and it is.

The Adobe Flash player works in another browser on my PC but I would prefer to use Opera if I can.

The problem I was having is no longer an issue for me after uninstalling Opera 17 and installing Opera Developer 19 which has been working flawlessly in every respect.

I would certainly recommend installing the Developer version of the browser.

Download the latest Flash player version for "plug-in based browsers" = "Other Browsers" from Adobe's website.

Close Opera and install it.
When the installation finishes open Opera and go to menu -> Settings.
Open the Websites section from the sidebar and check if Plug-ins are set to "Run automatically (recommended)" with no exceptions.

Click that "Disable individual plug-ins..." link (or the opera:plugins URL) to check if Flash is correctly identified and enabled.
