Grasping at straws with you. Assuming there are no contravening factors
and it's only Flash and Chrome at issue (and realizing that such
assumption may be a big leap), how about completely uninstalling both
Chrome and Flash? Then reinstall Chrome; then download the full version
of Flash from FileHippo rather than Adobe and do an end run around ADM?
If that doesn't do it, there's always other paths -- last good backup,
restore points, Adode forums, etc. -- that might be pursued.
I have very recent versions of Chrome and Flash and ADM, and FWIW, all
seem to be playing well together -- though I seldom, if ever,
intentionally use ADM.
HTH,
Jim

Grasping at straws here and hoping someone has some guidance for me.
I've been using Google Chrome form the past few months for accessing
Google Wave a few other items that I just like better in Chrome.
About two weeks ago, I attempted to watch a video and Adobe Flash player
insisted on being upgraded (again) and when the process started it turns
out that Adobe has now applied the god-forsaken download manager to
Flash player. ADM does not work through our gubmint-strength proxy, and
I have complained about this long and loud to anyone at Adobe who cares
to listen (not many, and I digress). Anyway ADM took Chrome down in a
blaze of glory and ever since Chrome cannot connect to the Internet. It
simply fails to see that I have a proxy and connect to it.
I've attempted every fix I could find via google, & the Chrome forums,
and posted about the issue on Chrome forums to no avail. I've
un-installed/re-installed and adjusted every setting in Chrome I can
find, but nada. Just keeps telling me all pages are unavailable.
Thoughts, musing, possible solutions appreciated,
-Greg
