      I don't know about the original poster but I would not know how to answer that question. Surely if they uninstalled flash and reinstall it they will get the better option?
      How can you see which one it is? I use a several browsers, and recently updated flash from the adobe website, but then a pop up appeared which looked like no adobe update I had ever seen before telling me I needed to update flash player. I ignored it as I had only just updated. Could it have been these two different types used by different browsers?

        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'.

          You need to click "Show details" at the very top first to find it :idea:

            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.
