I'm using Chrome 17 and all Flash videos display as a black screen. How can I fix this?

Adobe flash worked for months prior to this failure...I now believe my problem has to do with cookies and java on my iMac..my old XP works perfectly in this regard (but slowly haha)

If it happens on YouTube videos, you can try enabling Hardware Acceleration from right click menu.

Miss some flash player plug-in? You'd better go to Adobe to download it.

You can also check your plugin versions by typing "about:plugins" into the url bar, then clicking "+Details" on the right side.scroll to Flash, then deactivate the ones that comes with chrome and let only macromedia perhaps also to uninstall chrome, reinstall and see if the problem solves or comes back?
