Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashing

My Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashes every time I play a Zynga game on it.  I uninstall it & reinstall it each time & I am tired of it.  I have talked to other players who have the same problem.  Do we need to find another flash that works well with games?  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi chris.
I have a microsoft windoes xp 32 bit intel laptop.
I have recently upgrated the newest version of flash . player 11.4 it says.  But it keeps crashing my computer everytime I load a web like facebook/youtube/ mtv.  Just bout every browser I've blamed the web browser for this crashing problem! I am currently using firefox the most lastest version. Will you guys pleaseeeee fix this crashing problem so I can enjoy youtube and all there wonderful websites again with no problems. This flash player came out yesterday but doesn't seem to help. Could I usre another flash player untill you guys fix the problem. If so what version?  They say 10.3 but apperently that doesn't help. Gah. Its so fustrating! And so you know I have reinstalled it but that didn't help either. And I did do a cleaning up on my laptop. It didn't help the freezing on the web browser. But it did help it load faster but as I said. Everything keeps freezing and crashing. Please make a newest version that wont be doing this as fast as possible. Thanks

  • Shockwave/Flash Player crashes with every browser...Ugh.

    I can't find a solution in this forum although a lot of people seem to be asking this question. Flash crashes constantly and it doesn't matter if I use Chrome, Firefox or IE. It's quite unbearable. I don't have multiple Flash players and if an add-on is causing this, I can't draw a link between it crashing and me disabling them. I've scanned for malware and gotten rid of anything found. No viruses that my virus protection reports. The problem just gets worse. It used to be occasionally, then multiple times a day, now its pretty much anytime I want to use Flash...which seems to be constantly. It freezes my computer then an error message comes up and says Shockwave player has crashed. I have updated shockwave and flash, so I have the most recent versions....any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    If your machine had a recent malware infection, you might want to consider backing up your critical files and starting fresh.  It takes time for antivirus and anti-malware packages to discover and push signatures for new viruses, and it's standard practice to deploy new malware to ensure that an attacker maintains their foothold on a compromised machine.
    If it was my personal machine, I would back up any critical data files, wipe the machine and re-install everything from pristine sources.  Not exactly convenient, but you can be reasonably sure that the system is running the software you expect (discounting the possibility of malware that compromises the system BIOS).
    That said, there's not a lot of actionable information here.  I'd recommend uninstalling Flash Player and re-installing fresh.  You actually have three different Flash Players -- there's an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer, the NPAPI plug-in for Firefox and the PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome.  The PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome is totally encapsulated -- it doesn't even share settings.
    SO... malware aside, the next most likely culprit is graphics drivers.  Each of the independent Flash Player installations attempts to use a hardware accelerated feature (like video playback), but the driver crashes.  Typically updating the graphics drivers would resolve this, or you can experiment with disabling hardware acceleration.  How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration? Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

  • Why Does Shockwave Flash Keeps Crashing In Firefox?

    I've been using adobe shockwave flash player with no problem for the last six years. Recently I brought a new computer, windows vista and downloaded the adobe reader and shockwave player.
    Everytime I go to watch a video on the internet flash player would crash and a message would pop up saying, "Adobe Flash Player 11.5r502 Has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I'm using the latest release shockwave 11.5.502.149 and my computer doesn't have any malware or viruses on it.
    I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help me with this problem as it means I can't watch any videos at all and because the flash player shuts down everytime I go on adobe.com or youtube, I'm force to disable the program just to stop the constant error messages from popping up.
    Really would appreciate any help or advice on how to fix this problem.
    I using firefox 19 if that helps.
    Does anyone know what data execution prevention is? It keeps popping up after I close adobe.

  • Shockwave Flash Player error since April please help

    Hello,
    Can anyone please help me with Adobe Shockwave Flash Player?   Then crash...to the sad robot face. It's been happening since April at least 45 times so far. I feel I need to finding my own Adobe Crash Dummy. It doesn't matter which game I am playing; whether it's FarmVille from the Facebook website or CityVille from the Zynga website I just want it fixed please. Any help would be so appreciated. Here is the error that I keep getting. Then the crash error. I have uninstalled Adobe SW Flash Player and downloaded the updated version...which I already had, but when I go to test my version...nothing is moving on the screen to verify your installation is complete.
    Thank you so very much.

    Hi, I posted instructions on this thread for another Vista user this afternoon.

    You may want to look at this Troubleshooting Guide to make sure you have the Settings for the Internet Explorer browser correct. Also the Java Script Settings. The rest of the information you won't need since that thread has the information for Uninstalling and Installing.

  • Adobe Flash player crashes constantly

    Adobe Flash player crashes in all browsers. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, expanding memory storage, downloading older versions etc, etc.  I have tried IE10, Firefox 17, Chrome, Avant, and Safari, all with the same issues. I am running an I3 processor at 2.93ghz on an ASUS motherboard, 16gig of RAM, 2gig NVidia graphics card. Any ideas?
    Sorry should add that I'm running Windows 8 Pro

    Usually a complete fresh install resolves this.
    Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as"
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
    Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
    Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
    Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
    Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to dwonload the  ActiveX installer.

  • What can I do if  shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome browser ?

    What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome ?

    I think Google Chrome is more easy to troubleshoot. Try this:
    1. Open Chrome.
    2. Click the far-right Icon (Customize and control Google Chrome).
    3. Select about Google Chrome. It check if Google Chrome is up to date and if not it'll get update.
    4. You must wait until a GREEN check mark appear saying your Google Chrome is up to date.
    5. Remember, you don't need to get Adobe Flash Player separately because Google Chrome has it own integrated Player.
    6. Accept Google Chrome constant upgrade to their Chrome browser.
    Wishing you Good Luck!

  • What are the possible reasons for adobe flash player crashing constantly?

    I utilize mixcloud, soundcloud,and podomatic on a daily basis, and recently have been having problems getting these three to play.  I'm not certain if there is a clash between the various plug-ins within my mozilla firefox browser.  The error messages that I have been receiving sometimes acknowledge the problem as a adobe flash player error, a shockwave flash player error, and sometimes as a flash blocker being enable in my browser, which keeps me from receiving any audio playback and the music from downloading onto the page. I'm constantly being asked to reload the page, or request a crash report. Has anyone encounter this problem?  Help!

    Uninstall BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave using the Control panel.
    Reinstall both using Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    and http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Reboot
    In Firefox, click Tools>Addons
    Check to be sure BOTH plugins are enabled and the LATEST version

    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?

  • Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox (NetSteam, Stratus)

    Flash Player version: 11,8,800,97 (last)
    OS: Windows 7
    Browser: Mozilla Firefox 22.0 (last)
    Problem: Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox, when runnig project with such elements like NetSteam, Stratus.
    When problem happen: Only when some streamed data is incoming, after random time. Time before crash can be 4 minutes, it also can be 2 minutes. Memory leaks or disk space usage didn't change and don't seem to be a reason. Problem happen when I was testing my voice chat together with few people. At one moment it crashed at few computers at the same time (which were using Firefox). Then we had luck with repeating this problem several times - simply by asking one of us to play any music into Microphone. Then Firefox Flash Player always crashing.
    Here you can see repeating of problem: http://youtu.be/BdkoQxloyDA
    It also show that it does not crashes if nobody is sending audio stream in created group, but it does when somebody is sending audio stream. In that video I'm repeating problem by myself, with help of one computer and 2 tabs of Flash Player. First is running in Chrome, second in Firefox. Player in Chrome is used to send system sound from speakers to peer group. Player in Firefox is listening and playing everything he hears (this is why I set it's volume to near 1).
    Here is .swf :
    http://www.plazmaburst2.com/vchat/vchat.swf?1375377116&l=ANY_LOGIN_NAME&g=b1a2e6f17f339b63 6382b2d6cccadb21
    It's very simplified voice chat which only displays streams which are being heared. It's adding " is talking" when stream is sending data. "g" parameter is a group name, I think you can choose any, but tests were made with this one.
    Hope it helps. If you will need .fla file - just tell me.

    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. 

  • Flash player crash accessing Adobe Media Server website

    Hi,
    Accessing Adobe Flash Media server family website http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/
    today on Internet Explorer 6, Mozilla Firefox 3.5, 3.6 (I tried both)
    I am using Windows XP version 2002 service pack2 and Flash Player 9 r 124
    I upgraded to Flash Player 10.0.32.18 but still the problem persists.
    One more information, I installed Microsoft Silverlight 3 today on my machine before.
    I am not sure this might be a cause, so I uninstalled Silverlight, but the 'media server website' still crashes the browser.
    Quick reply appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ram Manoj Kongara.

    An important update.
    I logged a bug FP-4185 under flash player.
    Here are the concise steps to reproduce the issue.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Access the website http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/
    2. When the page is getting loaded and video streaming load animation starts
    3. After 2 seconds the Browser crashes.
    Few things that I did prior to the error occured.
    Updated Mozilla Firefox to 3.6 version.
    Installed Microsoft Silverlight 3.0
    If firefox could be a reason, then browser crashed in IE6 too.
    If installing Silverlight affected the Flash player crash when streaming, I uninstalled Microsoft Silverlight, but the flash player persisted with crashing accessing the website.
    I tried installing Microsoft Silverlight on few machines in a Net Cafe and tried to access the website with flash video streaming, the browser did not crash.
    So there is no reproducible scenario apart from my own Computer.
    The browser crash is reproducible every time on my machine.

  • Why does Adobe Flash player crash so much?

    This is not the first version of FireFox that Adobe Flash player crashes on. It happens 2, sometimes 3 times a day, my browser locks up for 45 seconds or so then I see the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" yet again.
    I've read the forums, tried suggestions but it continues to crash.
    I want to keep using Firefox, but I'll have to switch to chrome and just use firefox for the better firebug.
    I'm sure this is adobes issue and not firefox, but there's not much I can do.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
