        Go to the website with your Opera browser, and install it from that browser. Close the browser. Open it again. Then try YouTube or something like that and see if it works. If it doesn't, perhaps type "Opera:Plugins" in the Opera Address Bar and make sure Adobe Flash is enabled.

          Chrome has it's own version of flash built-in.

          Have you been to the Adobe flash web site using Opera and downloaded the version that is being offered to you ?.

                  Did you close Opera before installing the flash plug-in ?.

                      Try it. Go in the Opera browser to the Adobe Flash website. (make sure not to install any superfluous things there, like the Chrome Browser). Download the latest flash update. Close Opera. Install it. Then see if your flash works, by going to a site like YouTube, though make sure Opera Turbo is not enabled in your Opera menu.

                      Remember also, if this still doesn't work to type in the Opera address bar, "Adobe:Plugins" and then make sure that the Adobe Flash Player is enabled. Or do that after you have installed the latest version of flash.

                          It seems a OS issue. Are you trying to install the correct flash player for your OS and browser?

                          Also, do you have admim rights on your OS? I think they are needed to install flash.

                            Hi,

                            I currently experience this, too.

                            I downloaded Opera latest version for Windows. Then when I opened a website like Facebook games or YouTube, it says that I need to download adobe flash player. I went to the website and downloaded the latest version. Then when installation is done and i opened the installer, there's only a blank/black screen. No download whatsoever. I checked Opera:Plugins, Adobe Flash Player is not listed there.

                                This ALWAYS works for me [make sure YOUR system is correctly identified by the page]....no tricks, just download, save, then run...

                                Uncheck the proposed Chrome install...

                                  I have the same problem (posted elsewhere). I have had this trouble for a couple of months. I have tried all ways to keep Flash installed. I can install it one day, but when I start the computer next time, Flash has vanished. I checked 'Developer Tools>Plug-ins' and Flash shows as installed. next time I start the computer and Flash does not play, I check 'Developer Tools' again and it has vanished. I have tried workarounds from Adobe and they do not help either. It appears that Flash likes some computers and not others.

                                    I am new Opera user, I just migrate from Chrome..

                                    I facing the same problem, which adobe is not install correctly, and the plugin is not available..
                                    I have google for solution , I even try manual installation, it does not work too.

                                    finally, I managed to solve it by installing standalone flash player.
                                    My Opera 25.0.1614.71
                                    Windows 7 32bit

                                    Goto page http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
                                    Current version :
                                    Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (Win and Mac)
                                    choose : Plugin-based browsers
                                    http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_15_plugin.exe

                                    Steps:

                                    1. Close Opera
                                    2. install the Standalone flash player,
                                    3. Open opera, now the Adobe flash is available.

                                    The trick is "Standalone" flash player..
                                    Other will not work for me..

                                    Hope this help...

                                            SOLUTION!

                                            Well there is no problem actually. All you have to do is to uninstall your adobe flash player by going to Control Panel - Uninstall Programs. (All brosers must be closed. If they're not then it will tell you what browsers are still open)

                                            Sometimes browsers wont close so you must do it manually throught Task Manager - Right klick on Taskbar - Task Manager - Details. End all the executables that are related to the borwsers you're using. (Opera.exe; Chrome.exe; ie.exe etc)

                                            After uninstalling download one of those below and install.
                                            (Must choose browser you have the problem with)

                                            WINDOWS------

                                            Internet Explorer

                                            Firefox; Netscape

                                            Opera; Chrome

                                            MAC----------

                                            Safari; Firefox; Netscape

                                            Opera; Chrome

                                            I realy hope that this helped you guys. 🙂
