So I'm having trouble with this Flash plugin as many others are popping up. Went through troubleshooting to reset the browser. Then downloaded the newest versions of shockwave and flash (are the separate? seems there are two plugins...). Both plugins were originally "up to date" despite the newest version being 1+ on what the plugin installed was. Still have the problem. It does not seem to matter what website I try to view, but the error will come up that the plugin is no longer working, and gives the option for continue/stop plugin.
