Why does Shockwave crash ALL my internet browsers?

Hi I have a really annoying problem with Shockwave that started only a few days ago. Whenever I load up a web browser and try to start an application which uses Shockwave, specifically using a Webcam in websites, the browser always crashes. This happens in Chrome, Firefox and also IE. Also, whenever I try to change 'Audio & Video Settings' in MSN Messenger, Messenger freezes and I have to close the program. I am also now not able to view videos in youtube and other video sites. Is this problem related to my webcam? The webcam I am using is a Logitech Pro9000, and my operating system is Windows 7, upgraded from Vista. I have also noticed occasionally opening My Documents, and whenever i try to cut and paste something from there, it crashes. If I try to open it again I get a message saying 'Remote control procedure failed and did not execute'.
Now, I have looked on similar forums and they have mentioned something about ITC audio, which I cannot find in my program list or device manager. So I don't think that is the problem. Also, I have deleted a few programs and other large files off the computer but still no result. Maybe I accidentally removed something that is required for these programs to work consistently? Are there any other solutions? This problem is really getting on my nerves and I am really beginning to despise Logitech and Adobe for probably no reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

You have an internet problem, not a hardware/software problem.  Skype opens a port that allows it to communicate directly with the Skype server.

    Why does my shockwave keep crashing? I have uninstalled it and it still pops up that it has crashed. While I am playing a game at zynga.com. My browser is Google Chrome.

    follow these steps to completely uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    then go here and manually download and install the latest flash player:  http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • Why does iPhoto crash ALL THE *&(#*! TIME?

    I am running Tiger and iPhoto 5.0.2. I had prayed that Tiger would solve iPhoto's instability problems. No luck.
    I have 8306 photos taking up 21.4 GB in iPhoto. It crashes about every 5 minutes. Literally. It is almost unusable. I will create a few new folders, put a few new albums in them then CRASH! I open it re-open iPhoto, repeat the steps, CRASH. I then start editing pictures. Nothing much, just rename them, etc. CRASH! I reopen iPhoto and have to redo all my edits again. Why is this app so bad? Honestly, it is embarrassing.
    I am running a Powermac 2Ghz dualie with 2.5GB of RAM.

    I wish they'd just build in an upfront loader for iPhoto which would present us with a menu of iPhoto libraries and ask us which one to load. Of course that upfront loader would have to include the option to create and name a new library.
    That way the program wouldn't have to be rewritten in its entirety. Once we'd picked the user-created library we wanted to work with [or created a new one] iPhoto would load and recognize it as if it were the one and only iPhoto library. We could limit our libraries to, say, a thousand manageable pictures and we could actually load our pictures into our libraries by subject ands/or theme/project/etc.
    But then, as my nan used to say: "If wishers were horses, beggars would ride."

  • Why does firefox crash when the internet connection is lost?

    We have been having trouble with our internet connection recently and firefox crashes whenever the connection is lost, but this didn't used to happen, so I was wondering why this was happening.

    If there is any intermittent issues or connection is lost you will revert to the menu, regardless. The 'apps' are fed via server and there is nothing stored on the unit, it simply caches when you are online.
    As for the initial wait time. That could be due to ISP throttling, interference, using another DNS
    Note: This is a user forum, there is no service provided here by Apple. If you wish to get official tech support you need to contact them.

  • Why does Dreamweaver crash all the time, hang all the time and work so slow.

    Why why why why why can't Adobe make a simple program that works. I hate Dreamweaver. I'm switching to Transmit. At least it works. Dreamweaver is garbage. Adobe seems to think that if they prettify a program with new splash screens and tutorials that people will buy it. But I already know how to work this useless piece of junk and I don't want to learn how to use it more as the more I use it the angrier I get. And as for tutorials if they'd just organize them and put their links in one spot they'd do every user a favor. I'm sick of looking for information about their useless programs only to find that the onlly resouorce is a tutorial on Lynda.com that's five years old. There are dozens of programs that Adobe makes (and has probably forgotten about) that don't have any manuals and those that have manuals have information that is inadequate or out of date.
    I live for the day when a well-organized company buys out Adobe and runs it properly or when it finally gets broken up by whatever anti-monopoly organization their is so there is real competition for new customers and an incentive to create good programs.
    Adobe you can go straight to hell.
    Have  nice day

    Well I hope I didn't ruin your day. I have actually talked to Adobe about this problem but they don't listen. I've had service support people on the phone for hours, unable to solve anything and my inquiries have been 'escalated' to the level of software engineers who allegedly wrote the program. They have responded, weeks later, that they were aware of the problem but unable to reproduce it. I'm not the only person who has complained about Dreamweaver or about Adobe's lack of information about its own products. Try, for example, learning about Edge Animate. You can't. There is no  manual and what online help is available is sketchy and inaccurate. Even books about the program are inaccurate and Lynda.com tutorials are too old to be of any use. There are some great people on Adobe's forums who have helped me in the past, but what kind of company relies on users to do their job for them? That's like Chevrolet telling you to ask another owner how to change a tire. Adobe even advertises its forums as a pool of 'experts' as if we are all highly trained specialists just waiting to solve your problems. I think people who solve queries online should get paid.
    As I said earlier, Adobe is an ugly dirty monopoly and it should be broken up so there is some real competition.
    End of rant.

  • Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • TS3274 why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    Hi DizzyTaco2,
    If you are having issues with an Apple application such as iBooks freezing or quitting unexpectedly on your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text??

    why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text?? I'm trying to wrap up a project for work and now fcpx thinks it needs to crash every time i click on a "title" to edit it. It's making the completion of this project nearly impossible.

    nope, i'm just using the select tool "a" to move my titles .. if the inspector is open, the second i click on any title in any project the whole program crashes. but with the inspector closed i can move my titles at will without a crash. i'm not sure what's allowing me to manipulate titles since you've said Lion updates haven't fixed this function. and i'm not sure what's making fcpx crash to the ground every time i click a title with the inpector open. all i know is that this little loophole i've found is working for me and has allowed me to complete my project this morning which is awesome.

  • Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

    Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

    I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
    I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
    Open task manager
    Select the 'Processes' tab.
    Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
    Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
    Hope this helps.

    Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?

    That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this
    and paste that into your reply.

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

  • Why does Safari crash?

    Why does Safari crash on my internal start-up disk and not on a booted SuperDuper external disk?
    Safari started behaving weird with very high CPU usage, then it refused to start up altogether, it doesn't even reach the safari icon when it crashes.
    Did repair disk permissions. No good.
    Around the same day i also lost the connection with my TimeMachine drive (third time this year). I've had it with timemachine.

  • Why Adobe Bridge crashes all the time ...

    Why Adobe Bridge crashes all the time and despite sending incident report to Apple, I have no answer any more than I can find explanations on the Adobe site. Ma Bridge version is associated with Photoshop elements 4.0 2006 I just reinstalled without success: always lock it. I expect Adobe help. I also have a version of Phoshop CS 2004.
    Thank you Bernard Bardinet
