"Plug-in"?

[Ink_Dragon]

I have a laptop with Win 7. It has behaved well until several days ago. Since then, it says I need to install the flash player to view videos. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I've reached the web page that says it's been installed correctly. I've also visited the two links provided to others with the same problem and have found that the videos will play for me. I looked in the "control panel" and it says the the flash player is installed, but the plug in isn't. Could this be my problem?    .....if so, how do I download just the plug in?   Thank you in advance for your time.

Could you please try the following video links:

• HTML5   video  
• Non-HTML5 video

Do either work for you?  What version of Flash Player is reported when you visit this page?

Flash Player Version

Finally, can you give us a specific URL that is causing this to happen?

Thanks,

Chris

Both of the links above played for me.

This one would not.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_rKW3HL9GE 

The link I just posted here won't bring me to you tube when I click it for some reason.

The deal is, go to the first video you find and I can't play it...

Thank you for your time.
