Hi Wi1d_Bi11, it seems you have two versions of the Flash plugin on your system (this is from next to your question, Question Details > More System Details):

  • Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

The official cleanup method is to do a full uninstall/reinstall of Flash:

But... it usually works to just physically remove the older file(s). To find the location (full path on disk), type or paste about:plugins in the address bar and press Enter. Then in the page, you can use Find (Ctrl+f) to look for npswf which is unique to the Flash plugin.

On 64-bit Windows, the normal location is:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

If you go into that folder, be careful to delete ONLY the specific unwanted file listed in about:plugins because the others may be needed by other programs.
