Flash Player doesn't work, what should I do?
Hello readers of the blog of the ComService company (Naberezhnye Chelny)!
In this article we will look at what can be done if Flash Player doesn't work in your browser. Nobody (not even Adobe.com) knows why Flash Player doesn't work. They also provide a list of recommendations. Some of this list made it into this article. Recommendations are arranged in ascending order of difficulty. If you follow the recommendations at some stage, the Flash player will work, but it is not known at what stage. In conclusion, I will give a shorter list that I will most likely use. This, of course, is not the simplest option, but, it seems to me, it is shorter.
