AdobeFlash Pluggin has crashed. I have followed instructions and it continues to crash
I continually receive the" Adobe Flash Pluggin has crashed." I have installed the updated version, but when I check the pluggins, Adobe still needs to be updated even though I get the message that it has been installed. What now?
