Flash Player Version: 11.7.700.202 (persistent through several previous updates)
OS: Windows 7, 64 bit
Browser: Internet Explorer
Often videos and ads will stops, replaced with a grey and white exclamation mark, and eventually a notice that I need to update flash player. Clicking on them brings me to an update page, but I often find that it's for the update I already have when I check which version I have under programs on my computer. It can usually be circumvented by closing all the Internet Explorer tabs and reopening them, but it's been a significant disruption, and I was wondering if there was a way to avoid it. It seems to sometimes be caused by pages with lots of ads loading at once, but isn't solved until I've closed every tab at once (i.e. if I leave one open, then open a new one the problem persists), and sometimes takes multiple tries. I can't remember if attempting to update when I already have the update works.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
