[SOLVED] Flash player plug-in crashing in browsers

[JerryP]

Has anyone had a crashing problem with their flash player plug in?  I can't watch anything in youtube (or anything requiring flash) any more - in FF it says flash player plugin crashed, in Opera - simply nothing happens, just a blank box and Chromium completely crashes before my home screen even opens. I tried reinstalling flash player and that didn't fix it.  And when I logout and log back in to the system I get KCMinit won't start and KDE Daemon closed unexpectedly.  Something is not right here.

If Chromium, see the threads SOLVED Flash crashes in updated Chromium browser and Chromium update crash.

Thanks. I did follow the thread and removed prelink and then restarted my computer (instead of logging out and in as I had before).
Dohhh!  I think it was restating the computer that fixed everything though so I reinstalled prelink and restarted the computer.  All seems OK now.
