Flashplayer problem
Oct 7, 2015 7:22PM PDT

I use Microsoft edge as my browser. I just want to be able to play games on facebook. I don't use Skype at all. Flashplayer was working till recently. What would cause it to stop working? The flashplayer version is 19,0,0,185.

Edge has Flash built in last I looked.

Trying to install it may cause issues. Did you try the old Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration toggle?

I have done that. Should I try uninstalling flashplayer and then re-installing it?

...using a different browser such as the free Firefox from the link below. Download the browser installation file, install it, then download and install the Flash plugin from the second link. It's your choice.

Firefox

Flash Player Plugin for Firefox(NOTE: Clicking on the link below will immediately open the download dialog window.)

Hope this helps.
