Thank you Aaron. First post updated.

Call me a broken record. I still have to disable protected mode.

I have a fast way of checking for updates to Flash without saving a bookmark of my own or navigating from links posted here.

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Navigate to System and Security.
3. Find an object in there called Flash Player (32 bit). Open it.
4. This launches the Flash Player Settings Manager.
5. Go to the Advanced tab of the Flash Player Settings Manager.
6. Click the Check Now button near the bottom.

This opens your browser to a page on Adobe's web site. It shows the version number of the Flash you have installed and a table of various software products & the latest version of Flash for each. There is also a link on the page to take you to the Flash download page (where you have to be careful to disable the McAfee Security Scan Plus option if you don't want it, which I don't).

Anyway, the Flash animation on that page at Adobe, the one with the bouncing cube, doesn't play if I have protected mode enabled, and it plays if I disable protected mode. Some century they may get this fixed.

Question, I know that Flash is built in to Chrome. If I update Flash will it also update the flash inside Chrome, or will I need to wait for a Chrome update?

thanks.

EchoX860, you will have to wait for the Chrome update, you can't update it yourself.

Chrome will only update flash with a Chrome update, or disable it within Chrome, and it will use the systems flash.

Thank you Cata. First post updated.

No release notes on this version yet. Must be a bug fix as the previous version came out on July 26.
