A few days ago I had a message telling me my flash needs updating, so I updated it (through the programme). Then when visiting any flash requiring page (Iplayer, Youtube, Vimeo etc) in Opera or Chrome I was told I needed to update again (linked to Adobe Flash 11 download).

I've downloaded this version, and the flash player is now working perfectly fine in Chrome but still doesn't work in Opera (I am getting the same message taking me to the adobe site to install 11).
