        It's NPAPI

              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.

                                    If its messed up on all your browsers I'd bet you have some kind of malware infection. Get a copy of AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes and have them check out your system.

                                      Yes I did, sorry it wouldn't have happened if I'd been able to copy/paste it!

                                        That's okay, I tried it and Opera still crashes. I'm seriously considering going back to Chrome.

                                          I think you need to get completely rid of every version of Flash Player on your system, including manually deleting the folders and cleaning the registry.
                                          Don't worry about Adobe AIR and Adobe Reader, they are nothing to do with Flash.
                                          Then start again, just installing the PPAPI version and see if Opera is then happy.
                                          You can then add the IE version back too if you need it.
                                          🙂
