Why when I click on a new article on the NEW MSN page all I get is a 4x6 black square with a small white camera in bottom right cornor

You have to go to the tools setting; a small box in the upper right with a few black horizontal lines. Click on the box. It opens up and near the bottom is SETTINGS. Left click on settings and new window comes up on the screen. Look for ON STARTUP. The bottom option is Open Specific Pages. Hit the Set page> and now you can type your choice of opening page. I use MSN.COM for example. What ever you select, after you type it in, hit OK and go out. Close it down and restart Chrome to see if it opens up where you want it to be.

Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5080 Notebook PC?

Happy New Year!

This is because they do not tell you, that the old version has to be manually deleted first.

The new version will not automatically delete the old version, and you can't have both versions on your computer. That is why the new version will not download.

Download and use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller,

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Go to the bottom of the page, to the BOLD subheading -
Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller
Click on - Tech Note - at the bottom.

Scroll down a little bit to the bold subheading -
1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player
Click on the Blue - Uninstaller (674KB)

In the small window at the top right -

,click on Save File.

Another small window will come up. Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name.
(If a Microsoft 'Squawk Box' comes up, ignore it. Click on Run )

Follow the easy instructions. When finished restart your computer if not asked to do so,
Now go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and click on -
Get the latest version - in blue, and to the right if the Red square with the white f in it.
