Hey guys, I'm not quite sure what's going on with flash/keyboard.

When I'm browsing the web, my arrow keys work fine, and they always have.

But just recently, my arrow keys do not work in most flash games I try to play.

I can scroll, and do everything else with the arrow keys, but just not play games!!!

Help?

Maybe the game uses the "WASD" keys instead of arrow keys. You can check in instructions for the game to see if that's the case.

Still not working?
Can you be more specific. You sure ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! is running? DOES it work ON FLASH ONLY??? Maybe flash player needs to be updated, or your keyboard really has a problem.

BUT IF NOT, I'M AFRAID YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN HACKED

I had this same problem and the solution is to update your graphics card driver. and that should fix the problem

You could also try plugging in the keyboard. (I'm just saying :P)
Or get a new one or something.

I have had plenty of errors with flash 10 recently, and a fresh install fixed it so it might help you too. To get a clean install, first download and use the uninstaller http://kb.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 and then install from http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer. The install download didn't work for me for some reason, but so I went to exit path game and installed it from there, thats one option.
