Flash Player works in IE but not in Chrome

[hootsintheham]

On many of the news sites I use, videos using Flash will not run. I click the Play button and it does nothing. I can open the same page using IE and it will play the video...but I hate IE. Any ideas?

To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

• Your operating system & version:  Windows 7  Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1
• Your web browser(s) & version:  Google Chrome 43.0.2357.81 m
• Your Flash Player version: 
• Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible: On certain cites (such as Video Landing Page - ABC 33/40 - Birmingham News, Weather, Sports), videos will not play. I click Play and nothing happens. But if I launch the same site in Internet Explorer, the videos play just fine.

Hmm... that's an interesting technical choice on their video player approach.

Try clearing the Remote Shared Library cache on your machine.

Do the following:

Uncheck "Store common Flash components to reduce download times"

Click Confirm

Recheck the dialog.
