Flash player crashing on Windows vista with 1.3 gh Intel processor - Is there a fix or is my processor just to slow for Flashplayer 14? I am on Firefox 31.

I am unable to Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration if it keep crashing as I am unable to access. I have cleared, reinstalled, etc.... and tried everything on these forums. I have also submitted crash reports to Firefox.

Hi userSharonD, if Flash newer than Flash 11.2 causes problems, there's a good chance that is due to the protected mode feature added in Flash 11.3. It has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason.
You can disable the feature by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

    how to download flash player 11 on windows vista 64 bit ?

    Just download it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.

  • Win8.1/Chrome 64bit: NPAPI Flash Player crashes on every page with Flash content

    Hi,
    Chrome 64bit (beta+) crashes on Win8.1 64bit, if I use the NPAPI Flash Player (v15 beta or v14 stable) and open a website with Flash content.
    More details here:
    https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=402262

    Turning off NPAPI in Chrome 64-bit will be a very bad move. I'm using a Windows 7 Setup, with a Core2Quad 65 nm CPU and a pathetic Geforce GT 8500 GPU that is basically worthless. PPAPI  flash betas are available as a standalone now at this point, but I have done lots of side by side comparisons, and the PPAPI plugin is absolute garbage compared to the far superior Netscape architecture based plugin. I'm not the only one saying that. I have found loads of forums, and instruction videos online to fix Chrome video playback on youtube for instance. I have to install "Magic Actions for Youtube" addon for chrome so that I can disable HTML5. then I have to go into the plugins menu on chrome and disable pepper flash. I keep the 64 bit flash betas regularly updated this way, and I am getting peak performance. Once in a blue moon it will crash, but I think that is Google's fault. HTML5 should not be the default option in youtube. Compared to Flash, it does not have great GPU acceleration ability, and HTML5 in 64-bit doesn't even perform superior to 32 bit web browsers, where as 64 bit flash is a leap forward, as long as it's the NPAPI version, that is. Problems I have with the HTML5 and also Pepperflash are very similar.   The audio is out of sync with video, and the cpu is maxed out from memory leaking. I'm skipping frames and seeing glitches left and right. The seek functions in pepperflash never work right on youtube, you have to click an inch before wherever you want the video to play. On and on. Pepper flash has audio crackle. You can't get rid of the crackle from pepper flash or HTML 5. Yet, with NPAPI 64 bit flash beta in 64 bit chrome canary it plays PERFECTLY. once in a while I have it crash, which i think is the fault of the fact that I have to use an add on to force off HTML5. Why would I want html5, when flash NPAPI  64 bit produces superior picture quality on all quality settings. It's better in every conceivable way. Shame on Google for not putting more care into 64-bit flash on 64-bit Chrome. It couldn't possibly be a more important deal! You can tell pepperflash and HTML 5.0 are an afterthought. It's only youtube playback quality. why would that matter to google? OMG...  
    While I'm at it, I have one other issue that blows my mind. Adding command line flags in Chrome 64-bit (Canary) in Windows. Why do we have to add them through a shortcut in the "target" line? The target line runs out of space after 3 or 4 commands! I wish they would update Chrome Canary to allow for unlimited command lines to be added. It should be an option to add Command Lines on the About:Flags screen. I am so disappointed in these two glaring issues. It keeps me up at night.

  • Flash Player Crash

    I have Firefox 28.0 with Flash Player 13.0.0.182. The Flash Player crashes on every page with Player content rendering the browser unusable, as well. It's very annoying re-opening Ffox dozens times a day, so, I'd be very glad of any assistance. The "mms.cfg" operation (ProtectedMode=0) I've already done with no help at all.

    Did you try to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin and in Firefox?

  • Flash Player crashes on Firefox and Windows 8

    I too have this problem and it occurred after Firefox's recent update.
    The Flash Player crashes any time I open a website with embedded Flash videos.
    I cannot watch anything that requires Flash Player and when on Facebook, the pages continually crash. I send a crash report each time then reload and it crashes again. I send about 20 reports per hour and am sick of it and have started using another browser where I do not have this problem but my preferred browser is Firefox.
    I have Firefox 35.0.1 which is the latest  version.
    My operating system is Windows 8
    The plugin I have for Flash Player is Firefox, Mozilla - NPAPI 16.0.0.296 however when I check with Flash Player, it tells me the version I have is 16.0.0.235.
    When I try to upgrade, I am informed that my version is up to date.
    Steps taken
    - updated Flash Player
    - Cleared caches
    - Unchecked hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    I cannot find the menu for Flash Player as I'd like to try to disable hardware accelerator there too.
    HELP please.

    Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac.  I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
    Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable.  We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
    In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome. 

  • Issues with Flash player Crashing

      I keep getting a gray exclamation mark on things that run a Flash player. I never go over my RAM memory and after I get the gray exclamation mark it asks me to update my flash player. Even when I do so it say I have the most update Flash player. i have to close all my window and went 2 minute than reopen before it will work again
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Can you try a browser other than IE10 to see if this still occurs?  Given that IE10 is still not generally available to the public, I'm not sure how much testing it's getting at this point. 
    Regardless, this is something we'd want to address.  Please open a new bug report on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com. The following FAQ will walk you through the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log (if applicable):

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

  • Why am I having problems with my Adobe Flash Player crashing continuously on certain games on Facebook?

    I play alot of games on Facebook. I have started encountering a problem with my "flash player crashing"... I have uninstalled all Adobe products and reinstalled them to no avail. It seems to happen more when I am using the games put out by Zynga. I cannot understand why it's happening, and certainly don't know what to do to fix it. I sure would appreciate any help you can give me!

  • I have tryed everything that have told me to do and nothing help with flash player crashing

    the flash player crashes i send a error report it done help i have loadin new old every verison there and nothing works please help

    Frustrating. This is the same problem everytime Adobe update the flash. Why? :-( And any of the solutions works. And if you try to uninstall the plugin and reinstall a previous version the flash itself is disabled and show you a message to update it.
    Anyway, we can use Opera or Chrome. And I´ve been a firefox user from the first versions, some years ago.

    This is my problem:
    The newest flash player crashes everytime I open certain web pages like failblog or tinychat which requires a webcam
    I'm not sure what is causing it but it's only when i'm on those webpages that it crashes...
    I can go on youtube kongregate steam and I can play tons of games the only thing I cant do is go on certain websites that messes with the newest version of flash for some reason...
    I can use ANY other version of adobe flash and it won't crash at all but the problem with using the older versions is that I can't use my webcam on certain sites.
    Will there be another update release for adobe flash that will fix this problem? The previous version was fine I don't know what was changed but will it get fixed?
    And yes I have also been into the error logs but it doesn't show anything and the codes that it does show, people don't know what the hell it means lol just a bunch of binary number like data...I could post that but I doubt it would be of any help it's just a few short lines of numbers on each crash...I have purposely crashed my computer about 2 times to check if error logs popup and to see what is crashing the flash player but nothing changes in the crash log..
    So to sum my problems up into a short paragraph....newest flash player crashes my computer when I go on webcam/webchat/certain websites with flash videos on it, also if I right click and try to tamper with the settings it also crashes my computer...I would like to know if there's a possible fix for this or will there be another update released anytime soon?
    Please help and thank you for all future responses I will continue to use older versions of flash player till this problem is resolved, also on my newer i-7 620 processor 5850 ati laptop it crashes but rarely although I can use my webcam on msn on that computer but this is one has problems....

    Sorry I wasn't able to respond for a while I work two jobs so I   really don't have time for this although I would still like to get this   solved very much.
    In the event viewer all it says is that there was an unexpected shut down.
    I  have checked and updated everything on both computers I tried to   disable hardware acceleration and that still didn't change anything.
    Sometimes  when I try to just right click on a flash player and change  the  settings it crashes, if I try to load certain pages it crashes, if I   try to use a webcam chat on a webcam site it crashes. Though I can   still view other people's webcams in chat ex: tinychat I could be in   there chatting away with some friends from across country and nothing   will happen until I click webcam and flash player asks to allow, it  will  crash if I try to right click anywhere and that little flash  settings  popup it crashes.
    All of this happens when I use the most  current version of flash  player any other previous version will not  crash when doing any of this  although I can't use my webcam since the  website is running an updated  version which is why I would like to get  this problem fixed.
    The new firefox update didn't help  at all it still just freezes.  There is no blue screen, no crash error  report, no event log. The event  viewer just says it was shut down  unexpectedly.
    I also tried uninstalling all webcam  applications unplugging my  webcam and that didn't affect it at all.  I've done everything that  people have been doing on here to solve there  problems, I used the  search button and tried options from various  threads but none work for  me.
    I can do everything  normally that requires flash player like play  games, watch videos, and  other stuff but it just crashes when I do those  certain things as  stated above. It's weird that there is no log, no  anything just a  freeze and I can't do anything to the computer i've  tried letting it  sit for about 15 minutes but it didn't respond. I used  ctrl alt del  after a while, alt tab, alt f4, holding down certain keys,  holding the  power button in for a while and nothing will happen. It just  sits  frozen untill I unplug it.
    Is there anything I can do to get an error log of the crash since event viewer isn't working?

  • Flash player crashes in firefox but not in waterfox ??

    i have tried the downgrade to ver 10 of flash. no problem in firefox but now my other programs that use flash will not run. error messages say that i am not up to the correct version. i uploaded waterfox and have had no problems using the latest flash. can you take the waterfox program segments and move them to firefox?
    mark

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Flash player crashing

    For over 2 months, Adobe Flash Player has been crashing in Windows Vista and Windows 7 in IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. It always happens when 10-30 Youtube videos are loaded into different tabs, and it always happens with version 10.3 and the latest version 11.
    At the Google Chrome discussion forum, over 100 people have said that their Flash Player has also been crashing constantly. A lot of them have been having problems with not just Youtube, but other websites that use Flash Player as well.
    Please read the discussion so far at
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=3efb07b3f1abd7bd&hl=en
    It would really be appreciated if an Adobe employee could post something over at the Google forum and either tell everyone how to fix the problem, or ask them post crash logs on the forum so they can be used to help fix the bug.

    Hi,
    The forum thread you posted is tracking by Google. We are now actively working with google team to fix those top crash problems in Chrome. Normally, we've already had the crash logs when started investigating those crashes.
    Thanks for your suggestion that we take more actions in Google forum, it's helpful to us.
    Are you still experiencing the crash? If so, can you help provide more information on it?
    1) Any other URLs can reproduce the crash. We tested youtube a lot, but didn't see the crash.
    2) Can you send me the dxdiag.txt file to [email protected] by open dxdiag.exe on your windows system and save all information into dxdiag.txt
    3) If the crash can be reproduced continiously, can you report a bug in bugbase.adobe.com with the crash dump file and information help to reproduce the problem?
