Silverlight Is Out of Date

I have been receiving "Silverlight is out of date" error messages in Chrome for awhile. Searching for a solution brings no help. Windows 7 64 bit. This would happen when streaming Netflix, etc. It was no big deal because I could select "play this time". But I hate not having things work normally.

Do this: type "about:plugins" in the address bar. Look for the Silverlight entry and you will find "download update" and install. I would give you a screenshot but after you do this, the Silverlight entry disappears.

Trying to download Silverlight in a traditional method never works and you will get a "Silverlight is already installed" message. It seems I could never find the 64 bit Silverlight through traditional methods.

I found this while looking for why my Shockwave was crashing, which is a whole other story.

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
