chrome keeps thinking shockwave needs an extra plugin. help please

Reaper 392 · 1 Nov 2011 at 02:21

every time i go on a website that uses shockwave or flash in any way it comes up with the message in that orange box at the top "An additional plugin is required to display some elements on this page" with the shockwave puzzle piece on the left side of the bar.

looking at the "problem downloading" link on the right its trying to install shockwave for firefox, which really isnt going to help things much.

i've tried the usual clearing cache, full virus scan with malwarebytes, etc, but nothing has helped. anyone got any ideas?

ps, ive posted this in the wondows + other software place, but i figired i might actually get a response over here
