My MBP Doesn't Play ANY Flash Things, Until I Restart!

[Hellishness]

So I'm just trying to see if this warrants a trip to a Genius Bar, or if it's just a simple software fix (which I think it is). So basically, periodically, when I go to a YouTube video, it will just be a big black rectangle (see pics) with no slider or anything, and nothing happens when I mouse over it. This happens to all videos on websites (see the BestSkinsEver, there's supposed to be the Gizmodo iP4 leak where there's just a big white space). I was curious to see if this happens to flash games too, which it does. All the pages were fully loaded when I took a screenshot.

Please help!!


Just a side note: I'm not really a computer genius, I know more than an average user (not an average user on this site, an average user), but I'm no expert.

This happens to me to every since I updated to Safari 5. I'll have to quit safari and launch it back for flash to work.

I just (accidentally) noticed that that works too! I'm thinking I'll just live with it. Apple should have a fix soon enough.

You can try to reinstall flash. Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html to uninstall then
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the latest version. Then repair permissions and see if that fixed the problem.
