Adobe shockwave keeps crashing

I downloaded the new Flash player and i keep getting a message saying the add on shockwave is not responding and then it would close all my explorer windows. I recently switched to Google Chrome for a browser and it still crashes but doesn't close my browser. But what is the difference between Flash Player and Shockwave player? It keeps crashing all the time and i can't find it in my programs. Are they one and the same or can i get rid of it, its really p****ing me off . Any help would be much appreciated. Lorikabcbar

Flash Player is a plugin/ActiveX control that plays back SWF files created with Flash, Flex or any number of other products that create SWF.
Shockwave Player plays back content created with Adobe Director.
What specific pages/sites are crashing? That should help determine which player it is.

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden. Not just for the website I was working on but now all my websites. It was working perfectly fine and when I hit publish it just crashes. I have multiple copies and different websites and they are all crashing when I try to publish. It seems like it is not an error for just the one website I was working on but the entire program is not functioning correctly. Here's a screen shot of the error.

Mac or Windows? What's the error that appears? If it's an Apple Crash Report, please copy/paste the first few pages of it here.
I strongly recommend against it (for multiple reasons below) but if you uninstall Muse, then go to the Creative Cloud Desktop App, and choose "Previous Version" in the Find New Apps section there will be a dropdown arrow next to the Install button. That dropdown will list all versions of Muse.
If you've saved over top your existing file using the current version, reverting Muse won't work, since older versions cannot open files saved from newer versions. If you've don't significant work in the current version, that will be lost because you'll have to go back to the file as last saved using the prior version of Muse. Finally, there's a significant probability that error/crash is related to content in the file, network configuration, or other outside forces and if that's the case reverting won't avoid the error/crash.
If you share more info about what error you're encountering, I expect we can determine a workaround/solution.

Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro? I've updated everything, and there are no other issues. It is OS X and Audition CS6. When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice. Very frustrating.

Hi,
What is the crash notice you receive? OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs. If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ? The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

Adobe Reader keeps crashing on iPad Air

Not sure if this has already been mentioned by others but my adobe reader keeps crashing every time I pull up any power points since the last update. It is really frustrating since I have so many power points on it from school saved with notes. Is there any way this can be fixed or it in the processed of being fixed in the next update? I have the iPad Air with the latest iOS software. Thank you!

This is not a problem that we have seen or that others have reported. Can you please share one of the files you are opening by emailing it to [email protected]?
Thanks!

HELP: Adobe Flash keeps crashing

Could somone please help me. I cannot play most of my games on Facebook because the "most wonderful" Adobe Flash keeps crashing on me. I spend more time sending crash reports than I do playing the darn games. Please keep in mind that I am not computer literate at all. I have checked and my Flash is up-to-date. I am using Windows 7...Thank you for anyone who can help....Desiree' (battgurl)Using Flash Player

First, I would make absolutely sure that you're up-to-date using Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check]. If that doesn't help, you should try asking for support at Adobe, because unfortunately this is probably an issue with Flash and not Firefox.

No - no such software loaded. I should have also said it's only Indesign which keeps crashing.
I have no problems with InDesign. It may pay to ask Adobe if it is a common problem with Lion of if they have a solution

Adobe flash player and shockwave keeps crashing

why cant you not fix this issue with all games on facebook and zynga games as it keeps crashing and freezing and we have to send a report every 5 minutes to you guys this is getting nothing but a pain in our butts either you fix the problems or be reported to the better bussiness office you need to fix this asap every time we play games it stops and says send report to adobe which we do all the time this has been going on for about 9 months now and it nothing but a pain in my arse you guys are making me sick you update it all the time, but you never have a fix you need to have a fix for windows 7 and windows 8. i bet all you guys that do updates for the flash player i bet any money you guys are just drinking coffee and eating donuts and on your phones you guys are nothing but a f----------- joke

I have this issue/problem me tooo.
And i have the latest adobe flash player version and the latest mozilla firefox 26.0.
BUT STILL CRASHING WHY DON'T FIND ANY SOLUTION TO MAKE IT MORE STABLE THIS FROM A VERY OLD VERSIONS OF FIREFOX?
WHY CHROME AND OTHER BROWSERS DOESN'T CRASH WITH ADOBE?
MAYBE BECAUSE IT USE AN INTERNAL PLUGIN FOR FLASH AND NOT THIS THE ADOBE WAS RELEASED.
PLEASE MAKE THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER STABLE.

Adobe reader keeps crashing

I use Adobe Reader a lot - every day I'm reading through a number of PDFs, or filling in a fillable PDF form. However, it keeps crashing on me. Every day. Several times a day. Sometimes it's when doing a search, sometimes it's simply opening a file. Sometimes it's when entering data into a fillable PDF form. Sometimes it's when I have only one file open, sometimes it's when I have multiple files open. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it crashes or what causes it to crash. Right now, Adobe Reader is nearly useless to me because it crashes so often. It's the only software I have on my machine that routinely crashes so I know it's not a systemic problem but one specific to Adobe Reader.
Facts:
    Mac OS 10.9.5
   Adobe Reader: 11.0.10
Both are up-to-date in terms of patches as far as I can tell - at least checking for updates gets a message that the software is up-to-date.
The only thing I can think of is that something that exists from an older version of Adobe Reader (a preference file, a cache file, or something) is causing the problem. But, since I don't know the exact list of all files that Adobe uses (or has used in the past), I don't know what files to remove that might be left over from older versions of Reader.
Can anyone help?

Shockwave keeps crashing in Google Chrome

This has happened on and off for me for the past two years. But it's probably happened a few hundred times, sometimes more than a dozen times in a day. It occurs at random times. Sometimes I can view a page, read an article but I don't close the tab...an hour later, I'll get a notice that Shockwave has crashed even though there was no problem before.
I've updated Shockwave, no change. I'm told that Google Chrome automatically updates Google Chrome but obviously there is a glitch there.
I think it's an issue with Google Chrome but their Help pages say to come HERE for help. Unfortunately, I've found nothing useful here except for people reporting the same problem and no answers.
Details: I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1; 64-bit operating system; Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57; Flash Player Version 11.6.602.167.

Cant see video - Error msg: Adobe Shockwave Player crashed

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird on win 7 professional. It's been working fine up to 3 days ago. Now I get a message (on video sources) that Adobe Shockwave Player has crashed & am unable to view the video. I've un-installed shockwave & re-installed it to no avail. I also tried to go back to a sys restore point but only got 2 recent dates rather that a list of calender. I tried both dates & still not fixed.

Thunderbird does not play video and has nothing to do with how well Adobe products work. You might check with Adobe on fixing their software.

Adobe shockwave player crashing or hanging continually

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

4 Adobe programs keep crashing

I contacted Adobe earlier concerning 4 Adobe programs that keep crashing. The tech said the programs are missing fonts and I needed to install fonts that are used for CC. I don't have CC and not interested in owning it. Will the CC font files work with the CS6 version?

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the reply. The applications that keep crashing is Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro. Here is a snapshot of one of the error messages that keep popping up.
