    Question Some sites say I don't have flasht installed...

    There are some sites that I have gone to before now say that I do not have the latest version of flasht {whatever that is} installed...but I have flash installed on my computer. It worked fine for quite a while then one day I tried to get Wizard101 to work on my computer for my brother and installed Wine like I was told to and that was when the problems started with my flash.
    It doesn't make very much sense to me. Youtube works, but sometimes the video screen comes up shrank in the "box". Also, sometimes my screen gets letters mashed up together in places and I have to refresh. After trying to install Wizard101, my brother got a new computer so I uninstalled Wizard101 hoping that would make the problem go away...it didn't.
    I would really appreciate someone helping me as I am new to ubuntu and don't really know what to do. Oh, and wine is still installed if that is important.
    I have ubuntu 11.10 and I am using gnome. I am also using chrome as my web browser. If you need further information, please ask.

    Hi yes, some additional details will be useful. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? And what exactly are the problems you're having? Any particular site which doesn't work? Did you try with an alternative browser like Chrome or Opera (assuming you're running Firefox?)

    Did you try checking the version of flash player by going to
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    and making sure you're running the latest version as indicated in the table at that page?

    Also a forum user has created a script that can apparently try to diagnose what is wrong with your Flash setup. See

    Wizard 101 is only supported on a Windows platform. AFAIK there is no support for Linux.

    Are you still using wine? If not, remove it.

    You don't need WINE for flash to work. I don't know if having WINE installed can cause problems or not. Do you have Noscript or another javascript blocker installed? NoScript will cause the error you're getting, you must allow the site, at least temporarily because javascript can be used to start flash. I too have used Flash-Aid with good results.
