Tru upgrading to the latest Flash version: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

Also, update your graphic drivers if applicable, Flash uses hardware acceleration.

well to tell the truth,flash now doesn't work at all.this started yesterday after updating to the nighty build minefield suggested.anyway.i tried unistalling flash player and installin by the link you posted but it says that flash player doesn't work with my 64bit browser so i can't install anything.i tried going to youtube to watch a video but a i get an install missing plugin bar.i click on it,it says that it installed adobe flash player but again it doesn't work.nvidia drivers are almost up to date (version 258.96).Will try to update them and post again.

64bit browser? The windows 64bit version of Firefox is not officially supported, sorry. I strongly suggest you to use the official 32bit version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html or a 32bit nightly, then your flash will work fine. 64bit version won't bring you much improvements on Windows, not as much as you could think of.
Otherwise the 64bit version of Flash is here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html but it's a unstable preview release, not worth it imo.

Firefox 4 will have official 64bit support on OSX and Linux, no news regarding Windows, but it's most likely it will be done for 4.1 due to lack of time to guarantee high quality of the product.

I'm solving as invalid just because it's on a not supported version. If you have same issue on a supported version, you can reopen or file a new bug.
