Computer crashes on pages with adobe flash.

Went on the YouTube home page and the dark night advert, running adobe flash player, crashed my computer and it rebooted. It rebooted asking if I wanted to go into safe mode. I was using the Google chrome web browser and I just checked that I do have the latest adobe flash version and the same problem occurred in internet explorer. I just ran a hardware diagnostics tool and no problems were reported. This has not just been happening with the youtube homepage advert but from time to time with pages with a lot of adobe flash content. Playing videos usinf flash player is fine. Any ideas whats the causing the problem and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Computer Crashes Using Firefox After Adobe Flash Update

The Problem:
After the latest update, when Firefox fires up the Adobe Flash Player, as in Youtube, etc. as soon as the buffering process begins, the computer freezes for several seconds and then the screen goes black. Then it's total lockamus. The black scream of death. At this point, the only thing left to do is hold in the start button until the computer shuts down. This can and will eventually trash the computer. It's a bad thing.
Reverting to an earlier restore point didn't do a thing to correct the problem.
I have read of this identical situation in a Flash post from last year. I also found a Youtube video about the topic. I didn't watch it.
This is evidently a Flash/Mozilla problem with XP computers. My computer is up to date, dual core, and uses AVG. Somebody else who uses Norton had the same problem. So, in my mind, that lets the virus protection off the hook. I'm not running anything else in the virus vein.
If you'll let me know what you need in the way of information, error logs, whatever, I'll be happy to supply it. More than happy. All I ask is some serious attention on the Adobe end. I use my computer for graphics applications, and this is going to present a serious bottleneck.
It doesn't look to be a totally new form of radiation because such posts go back at least to 2007. I guess it was just my turn. Again, the new update is running fine on my Win 7 computer. Someone suggested a Flash Blocker addon for Firefox. I have it running now. This will at least keep me out of trouble.
Ok, over to you. I'm glad for the fast responses, even though it's a little screwy. You know as well as I do that you aren't sposed to get fast responses when you have a problem.

Hmmn. I just sat up and said, "I swear to God." No offense meant.The dadgummed thing is working.
Here was the workaround from late last night, I think.... If you recall, what happened was that I did the restore point previous to the new Flash Install. Well, I kept having to push the button to turn off the frozen computer. For whatever reason, that kept the new install alive, or partially alive.
Finally, when I went shut the thing down properly for the evening, all of the new install poofed. The reason I think this is so is that now today, using your information...
( http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) .... The version is 10,2,152,26 installed..... Previously it was 10.2.152.26 and under that 10.2r152....
The latest version is 10.2.152.32, I believe. What's running now on my pooter is 10.2.152.26, the earlier version. Am I correct on this?
I suggest that with the next cry for help, you proceed with what you told me about unchecking the hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference. Personally, for me to see if this works, I'd have to install the latest update again...which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
I still say that if you solve this issue for one, you'll solve it for many, and for times to come.
eidnolb, I do thank you el mucho!!! You're doing a fantastic job!!!!!
Norm
------------------------------------------------- Where we go to------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
So we meet again:-) That problem doesn't sound good at all. The first thing is to go to this test site. Right click on the Flash logo, click on Settings then Display Settings. UNcheck the hardware acceleration feature.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
See if that helps.
If you have Flash Player Installed in IE, then use that browser also for the test below:
Also while you are at that site, as soon as it opens you should be able to see the Flash logo animate(spin). The version of Flash Player you have Installed is also displayed. Let me know that.
Also is your system a 64ibt or 32bit?
Now one more thing, look in the plugins for FF and let me know if you have the Shockwave Flash plugin and is it Enabled?

WRT300N router dropping connection when browsing pages with Adobe Flash 9 content

My router seems to drop my wireless connection frequently when accessing web pages that contain Adobe Flash 9 content? I cannot find any settings or determine if there is anything I can change on the router to affect my performance? I am up on the latest firmware, so that is not the problem? Any help is appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. It's not every flash page ,just some. Power cycling the router gets it back, but it is getting annoying.
Anybody have any ideas?

Need help with adobe flash crashing my computer.

i use firefox is this a problem with adobe flash?

You might want to give some specifics. Other then my computer crashes with Adobe....Not to be a S.A but there are a lot of different Adobe programs and computers. You mention FF so Windows would be my guess, or you could be running Linux. Do you see the variables here? What kind of computer? Not a Desktop or Laptop or Dell or HP. Specs like GPU, CPU, Memory. Program running, what you were doing, etc. The more detailed you are the more a user can hop in and try and help you.

Problem with adobe flash player on my new computer

I bought a new computer window 8 and as you know adobe flash player is already installed but now flash player won't play some videos on the windows 8 internet exploer unless i swicthed it to the desktop. when i try to watch it says i need to install flash player but i have flash player that says on windows 8. so i there any way i can watch my videos?

This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player. I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
Well, bottom line is number
1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there. I can only compare it to Vista.
Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what? I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
2. Click on the following Adobe link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

I'm looking for a capture device that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder. I bought elgato but it is not compatible. Anyone know?

This is just a shot in the dark....
Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE? For example -- your camera or digitizer? When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices. If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings). Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows. Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE. I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices. Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever. If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile. Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works. If it does, great. Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing. Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

Is It possible to load Html page inside Adobe Flash...?

Hi Everyone!
Is It possible to load Html page Inside Adobe Flash CS5.
Any help would be a great help...!
Originally, i wanted to bring in through <IFRAME> but i don't see that flash understands that.
Thanks in advance!
-yajiv

Not exactly sure how you where planning to display that HTML content in relation to the overall page, but given the limitations of Flash... that may just not be possible...
But, it would be a simple matter to display an HTML iframe over the top of or behind a Flash .swf... So while the iframe would not be a part of the .swf, it certainly could be designed to make it look as though it were.
Controling the stacking order or layering of content on a Web page is accomplished through z-indexing. Correctly positioned and z-indexed, the iframe could apear over the top of the .swf... the .swf in effect being the background... OR the iframe could appear behind the .swf and with a transparent section in the .swf, the iframe would appear through that hole. If there is navigation or links in the iframe, they will be blocked by the .swf though.

But this may be an option....

Windows vista - IE 7 - problem with adobe flash player

last week I bought a notebook with MS vista home premium,
after some hours of
enthusiasm I had problems with adobe flash player.
Accessing to some sites I receiveed the requested to install
flash player, I did it and even if the installation seemed
ended fine I always got the pop up with the request to
install Flash player, as if it were not previously installed.
I did a boot after every installation.
I read your forum on:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1262552&enterthread=y
and I tried to follow some suggestions reported on it , like
uninstall the flash player using the
downloaded uninstall program from adobe site then I tried to
reinstall flash player “as administrator”
but always the installation appeared to end fine, the
programs was present into macromed flash directory
but I continue to receive the pop up to install flash player,
moreover some
images commonly shown when I visit the same sites from
another PC with XP are not shown on the new
pc with Vista, I think that also this problem could be
connected to flash player not well installed
One of these sites is www.rossoalice.it or youtube.
At this point, I think that the problem can be on the
registry but I don’t know what I can check.
I sow on the above adobe forum that mr. Darren J. McNally was
involved in this kind of problem,
every your suggestions will be very appreciated.

I got my computer about 6 months ago and i use
foxfire but i need explorer to work for my games but the adobe
flash player dont work i think if this cant be fixed vista i
probaly the gayest thing u can have on ur computer and adobe should
stop making flash players that dont work and just go do something
like sell stuffed animals at a carnival unless thats just to hard
for them and they wont do that right either. Grrrrrrrrrrr read this
and laugh or follow instructions or get back to. this be an angry
letter for sho. scuba steve out. and ahhhhhhh if u find solution
tell me asap or i will eat a cat for everyday u dont tell me im
gooing crazy about this omg

Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2

Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 instead of my Laptop webcam.

yes it can but you need an in/out device to "link" the HDMI output from your HD camera to your computer via, USB or firewire
BlacMagic sell those, Matrox and AJA are some of the other brands on the market.
