Flash troubles...

[john d. herron]

Hello, David,
I was made aware of the fact  that I had over time (about 18 months) 
installed other (earlier) versions of Flash and that they were now 
interfering with one another. Indeed, as soon as I removed all of them, 
then re-installed just the Flash 9 player from the Adobe site, the 
problem vanished. Now I no longer have no problems watching video clips 
from sites like CNN, YouTube and the like.

I have read the answers here but do not understand them at all.  Can you tell me in layman's term how you fixed this issue?  I would appreciate any help you can give.  Thanks David
