I don’t know about your symptoms, but Facebook is a serious security risk.
You might want to consider restoring your system to the last restore point.
FB is invasive, insidious......... and incredibly good at what they do (to members).
Was the update from the flah player website? I mean if it was an Adobe update, did you install from the Adobe website?
If not, you prolly picked up a bug.
Note: I haven't tried it myself. I just Googled your problem and found lots of links.
Seems like every other day or so, I get a reminder to update Flash.
Seriously gettin old...
I already posted to the wrong screen name but to make sure you see this I will post to you.
Do not ever update flash player at any website always go to abobe website and check to see if you have the most recent version if not update from there.
This is a way to put hacks and things on your computer with your permission! Lots of video sites try this and the video wont play. I tell people if this happens you dont need to watch that video.
Also a little tip I keep my Home on a separate partition or you can keep it on an outboard drive that way if you have to reinstall Windows you dont lose so much. I will say this if this happened to me I would format my drive and reinstall my OS but that just me lol.
