My wife plays FarmVille on Facebook when it wouldn't load anymore. A window would pop up stating that I needed Flash Player of which I knew I had. I thought my version of Flash Player may have been out dated so I removed it from the computer and installed the latest version. When my wife signed on to FarmVille it still said I need to have Flash Player. I then went to the Adobe Flash Player website where it had the ability to see what version of Flash Play I had and it said I had the latest version. What do I do?

There are two different versions of Flash for Windows PC's, the ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version that is used by most other browsers, like Firefox.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your Desktop.

2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure firefox.exe is closed,
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}

3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
