windows 7 chrome doesn't work with flash

Tags: #windows_7 #64_bit #chrome #allow #adobe_flash_player_settings

i have a windows 7 x64 with the latest version of chrome as it's default browser. i also have IE running with flash too. however, while flash works on IE, it doesn't work on chrome. i understand that to allow flash to work on chrome, you can access the global settings on the website, but i have this program running on my computer that needs flash to work and whenever i try to open it, this pops up:

flash.PNG

i can't click the allow, remember or close buttons. i can access global settings, but considering how this is just a program and not a website i don't think how helpful that'd be. can someone please help me?!

    Google embeds Flash Player into Chrome.  Talk to Google if Flash Player is not working on Chrome.

    Are you saying that you have an UNNAMED program that accesses the web and needs the web Flash Player to work???????

    See the "Known Issues" article re: Google Chrome to see if you recognize any of them: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues .cs

     

    There's a link to their Help forums near the foot of the page.

    i need help accessing flash thru a program on my computer, NOT a website

    Then you need to install Flash Player explicitly; nothing else can use the embedded player in Chrome.

     

    What does that program need - the ActiveX or Plugin?  Download the installer(s) from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550

    Flash stopped working on all my browsers (Windows Vista7 (32 bit).  I went through all of the steps offered on all of the forums including this one and still nothing worked.  I found a forum that said that deinstalling Real Player may work.  I did that and both Firefox and Internet Explorer started playing videos again, but Chrome continued to crash Flash on every webpage I went to.  I went back through the steps and when I diasbled the Flash plugins in Chrome that had 'apps' in their string - Chrome started again playing videos.  This has been a 3 week pain of reinstalling the browsers, deinstalling and reinstalling Flash, Shockwave and restarting the system numerous times.  It looks like Real Player was the main culprit and the clashing Chrome Flash Shockwave plugins (3 of them) were secondary.  I'm up!
