I get those Adobe Flash Player update notices all the time, and I always do the updates because a lot of sites keep up with the latest version and do not work properly if you’re using an older version.
Same with the Microsoft updates. They’re usually to fix some security breach or other, and I always allow them.
But Joe is right. Clear the cache and reboot. If you have a laptop, you might try a cold reboot by shutting down and removing the battery for two minutes or so. Then reboot. That used to solve a lot of pesky problems on my old laptop - the one that got fried last summer.
Best wishes getting this straightened out soon.
I’ve downloaded two types of flash players, one helped at one site, the other didn’t seem to do anything. I give up, on that, but it still doesn’t help the problems I’m having here with all boxes blacked out: tagline, search, and subject line. Maybe John will be able to help, except that he’s not going to know why I’m emailing him, because I can’t see or correct anything in the subject line of a private message.
I guess I’ll ping him to this post.
