Hi LinixMint.

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.

Hi Rafaelluik

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.

Thanks Rafaelluik for your response.

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.

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.
