A question about Chrome and flashplayer?

I'm not tech-savvy and I don't know how to fix this. Whenever I try to see certain webpages or download pdf's through Acrobat my Chrome stalls and takes forever to load the whole page. Usually I get a yellow notice on top that a plug-in - flashplayer - has stopped working and to reload. So I try it again and the same thing happens. As I understand it, flash is automatically updated with chrome so that itself wouldn't seem to be the problem? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome a few times. I like Chrome and want to keep using it, but it's gotten beyond frustrating.

The site above will give you instructions on how to do it. If it doesn't work after that you have deeper issues.

I have tried this a few times before uninstalling and reinstalling hoping it would help, but it hasn't. I'll try again ... maybe I didn't do it right.

It isn't the newest but works like Chrome but a little more privacy.

Maybe Acrobat will function better in this browser. You can just uninstall if no help.
