Flash 10e.ocx Crash in IE8 on Win7

I am trying to view a teleseminar in Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit). I have tried running the session in Compatibility Mode but the application still causes Internet Explorer to stop working. The problem signature provided in the application crash notification is provided below:
Problem signature:

Can anyone provide a solution for this issue?

From Windows 7 Diagnostics...
Windows 7 prompted me to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash update. I believe it reinstalled the same version of Flash. It then referred me to Adobe Support article:
Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Issue
Adobe Flash Player is not supported for playback in a 64-bit browser. However, you can run Flash Player in a 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit operating system.
Reason
Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.
Note: To participate in pre-release testing of 64-bit Flash Players see Adobe Labs.
Solution
To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, you must run a 32-bit browser. For details on setting this up for Windows see Microsoft Help & Support. Microsoft support is not very helpful in helping determine whether or not I was using a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit instance of Internet Explorer. I right-clicked on the Start Menu shortcuts and traced the location of the files to their respective folders. My default [Start Menu] instance of Internet Explorer 8 points to the x86/32-bit version of iexplore.
Once I confirmed my default browser was IE8 (Under Program Files (x86) > Internet Explorer > iexplore.exe), I was able to successfully launch the replay of the webcast I was attempting to view. It remains to be seen if this issue has resolved the problems I was experiencing with viewing the "live" webcast.

Flash Player OCX Crash in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I develop e-Learning and this is predominantly displayed in Flash. I have developed a flash engine that handles and interpretes XML for displaying the content. All works well...most of the time
However more often than I would like there is a serious enough crash (I.E. Error Flash.OCX) that will stop the browser dead and shut it down. Now my issue at this stage is not so much why it happens but more how can I report it to Adobe and get some support in order for me to investigate if the problem is in my engine?
Can I get an official response on the steps I should take please?
Thank you

What exactly means "not working"?

Flash player 9 - ocx crash!

hi
i have an ocx crash (IE/Firefox) with my music

I'm expecting same situation. I have four webservices running
at the same time. If concurrency for operation is set tu 'multiple'
I have OCX crash every 30 seconds. Also some webservices are
loading, some not (they are running, and running, and running...).
It looks like fault for WebService is not supported - in case
of that OCX will crash...

CP8 flash crash in IE8 near end of course

My Captivate 8 course (published for Flash) keeps crashing in IE8 near the end of the course:
I removed two slides from the end of the course, republish and did not receive this error. The problem seems to be related to the course duration. How can I resolve this issue without removing content from my course?

After some extensive testing, we have confirmed that the error only occurs in IE8 and does not occur in later versions of IE. Deleting the slide and recreating it did not help. The only thing that is effective is shortening the duration of the course by deleting slides (it doesn't seem to matter which slides). Also, the crash does not always occur on exactly the same slide. It crashes near the end of the course, but the slide it crashes on varies between test cycles. The link below suggests that the icon means this is a Flash memory error caused by the browser being unable to support the Flash content. Now that I have more information, I would like to re-phrase my post in hopes of getting the attention of Adobe. Is there a way to delete this post so I can start from scratch? (I know people don't like it when you double post but my understanding of the issue has changed since I first wrote it) What do you suggest?

Flash won't register for IE8 on xp sp3 home edition, but works in Firefox

Windows XP SP3 fully patched (32bit), IE8.0.6001.18702, Firefox 3.6.3, Eset NOD 4.0.437.0, Comodo Firewall 3.9.95478.509
I've been trying to sort this out on and off for the last three weeks...nothing I do seems to remedy the problem.
I had version 10.0.32.18 installed and running. I tried to install the updated 10e version of flash player and since then haven't been able to get FP working with IE8. The Firefox plugin wouldn't work with the 10e version, but seems to work fine with the later 10h installation.
I've read the articles in the support literature (tn 19166, 19148, 4da116d3, etc.) about installation and followed all the recommendations, numerous times.
I've run the uninstaller, also the special uninstaller for CS5 & pre-release version. I've run the subinacl tool. I've attempted installation using the online download manager, and using the downloaded ax.exe installer. I've attempted to open a new user account and install the FP there.
Always the FP fails to register.
As you know, the default admin account in unavailable in xp home edition, even when you right click on a file and attempt to "run as", you can only access the established user accounts... I am installing from one of those, an administrative account, with full access. I attempted to install from safe mode with networking. (the default admin account). That didn't work either. I've added what were missing registry keys (the D27 clsid and typelib entries, and given them full access), after reading the advice in this post.(http://forums.adobe.com/message/2924210?tstart=0) Still no luck...
I'm out of ideas...
I wonder why the latest installer wouldn't write the missing D27 registry keys on its own, if those are required and were missing...Isn't an installer supposed to write registry keys for the product it's installing?
Anyway, I'd love to work this out, as I prefer to have a fully functional versiion of IE8 on my system, and without a FP, it's missing something...
I am running Eset NOD32 as an AV, and Comodo IS with only the firewall and Defense+ working, but I have attempted installation with them both disabled, as well as actually uninstalling the comodo firewall from the system...
The only other active security measure is Windows Defender, though I have some non-resident anti-malware and anti-spyware scanners installed, they are not running processes. (MBAM & SAS). I had WinPatrol running, but disabled it while I attempt to work through this issue.
I'm about to do a clean install of xp just to get flash working....that seems a little extreme to me...everything else runs flawlessly...but I'm open to ideas...and welcome experienced advice that will lead me to a solution...Thanks in advance for any time you spend with this...
ps the windows/system32/macromed/flash entries after an installation include these files:

Thanks for your response...
I can wait. After all, it was by waiting for the release of the 10h version after the 10e version sabotaged my flash installation, that I was eventually able to at least get Firefox up and running flash again...
It's just frustrating to think that the folks at Adobe can't come up with a better product testing cycle so they are unleashing these problems on end users systems...
I recognize that there may be some sort of issue with my particular system registry. If so, I wish I knew what it was...but flash releases are the only installations I ever have any difficulty with...All of the other software I run updates without failing....sad to say...
Perhaps I will try running a home edition version of secedit (See here)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 instead of the clean or repair install...I'll let you know what I decide and how it works out...
Anyway, thanks for the input..

Flash Player 9 crashes Internet Explorer 6.

Hello
Previous versions of Flash Player worked fine on my Win98SE
system until I upgraded to versions 8 and 9, then it became
impossible to use Flash Player without a message popping up saying
that there had been an illegal instruction in module FLASH9B.OCX.
Occasionally I had to reboot my system which had become
unstable (blue screen - system busy).
I submitted the register dump from the FLASH9B.OCX crash to
Adobe and they provided me with an uninstall tool along with
instructions on how to (re)install the latest version.
Every re-installation of the latest version always ended with
an eventual crash of the FLASH9B.OCX module while visiting
different websites,
Adobe advised me to stop using Flash Player on the grounds
that there was, in their estimation, something corrupt within my
Win98SE operating system and/or Internet Explorer version 6, all of
which I have kept up to date with the latest patches from MS.
I downloaded a fresh copy of Internet Explorer and I also ran
the Win98 tool that verifies the system files and I replaced the
half dozen files that were flagged as being suspect (checksum
error, no doubt).
In spite of this, Internet Explorer still crashes when I
visit a website which has Flash media on it (static images).
I have resigned myself to living in a world without Flash
Player.
But the price to pay for not keeping Flash Player installed
on one's system is that there are constant requests to download
Flash Player via a pop-up window, and even my pop-up blocker can't
hide these constant interruptions.
Has anyone else had this same problem and if so, have you
found a better way to live with or without Flash Player?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
UPDATE: When I go back to version 8, then module FLASH8B.OCX
crashes in the same way as version 9.
If I go back to version 7 (7.0.19), everything works
perfectly. So what was changed in version 8 that makes my Internet
Explorer crash?

patch one to work.
I thought of "back-reving" to the latest Flash 7 player to
see if the issue goes away but I have yet to do that.
Good luck looking for a non-MMX code path hidden upstream of
the offending MMX instruction.
Going back to Flash 7 is relatively easy and you will
suddenly be able to visit places you haven't been in years, but
there are still some sites that will block you unless you have
Flash player 8 or 9.
First use the Adobe uninstaller to clean up which is found
at .
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
Then find a copy of :
flashplayer7r61_winax.exe
and run it. That will give you the latest Flash 7.

Flash Player 10 Crashing/Freezing IE 8

I've recently upgraded my laptop to Widows 7 and everytime I go to a site supporting Flash Player it crashes my Internet Explore 8 (The browser just freezes and is "not responding). I've tried the following:
1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player. I do use http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html to unistall.
2. Tried both 32 bit and 64 bit version of Internet Explorer. I know Flash Player only supports 32 bit.
3. Tried using Google Chrome. Browser still freezes.
4. Tried different sites. I've tried a number of sites and same issue reoccurs. In fact, when I go to www.adobe.com the current video clip ("Avatar") freezes the browser.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I was growing tired of hearing this question, so I checked in with management and wrote a technote about the topic.. Generally IE8 is fine, but as with any new release there could be issues, so this doc covers how you'll deal with those:

Catalyst/Chromium causes screen to flash wildly then crashes computer.

I'm using catalyst-test-pxp 14.3-1 and chromium 35.0.1916.153-1. I am using 2 monitors. The main one being my laptop's screen (LVDS) to the right and my secondary screen (CRT1) to my left. Previously I had used a single screen configuration, however after reconfiguring xorg.conf with aticonfig, spawning chromium will cause the screen to flash wildly and crash the computer, forcing me to hit the power button and wait for the system to power off. Here are some pictures that show what's happening: http://imgur.com/GidiC8p,0pna75I. Sorry for the poor formatting but I'm using elinks until xorg is fixed.
I understand that using a pastebin is discouraged over using the "code" tags, but I can't paste anything in the environment I'm in right now.

I'm going to jump on this dogpile with a "me too" post.
About my setup: 2 year old workstation, Intel Core2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 2600PRO graphics card, all up to date on Windows patches, latest device drivers, etc.
Until now the system was totally stable. For the past 1-2 weeks, anytime I try to play videos on CNN's website (which uses Flash), my system freezes-- no response from mouse, keyboard, anything. Only way out is a hard reset.
I've opened the case and checked all connections. Pulled and re-seated memory, even switched the slots each stick is in. Pulled and re-seated graphics card. Cleaned CPU and graphics heatsinks with compressed air. Verified all fans are working. Replaced the power supply with a new Corsair 650w. Ran utilities to verify CPU and GPU temps, and found all to be very good (it's a well cooled case).
I've completely uninstalled all traces of Flash using the Adobe Flash Uninstaller, after killing all but essential processes (to make sure nothing had Flash open). Then I reinstalled the latest version available today (10 Feb 2011). Both the ActiveX component for IE8, and the Firefox version, still bring about a system lockup.
The only, and I mean ONLY thing that ever crashes this computer is playing Flash videos, usually from CNN.
It does not matter if I am viewing in IE8 or the latest version of Firefox. Result is exactly the same, on exactly the same videos, regardless of browser.
If this is truly a device driver issue, then it is ONLY triggered by Flash. I'm a very busy telecommuter who spends as much as 10-12 hours a day on this machine for both work and recreation. No other software of any kind causes this PC to lock up, so this is clearly a Flash-triggered problem.

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx

Can someone please, please help???
I installed FP10 on Windows Vista & says it's complete (shows the "F" icon flipping around & all). But, when I try to open C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx in my "C Drive", I keep getting a pop up window "Error opening file for writing" in this file & wants me to abort.
I would appreciate the help very much on what I should do. Pages on websites take forever to download.

This is an active x control. It is not meant to be opened.
Slow loads may have several causes. Assuming you have good bandwidth, most other causes are related to the add-ons you allow to run in your browser. Internet Explorer 7 and 8 both include a "no add-ons mode" which is useful. My suggestion would be to attempt running in "no add-ons mode" and notice whether or not the speed improves. If so, open IE as normal, click tools and then click manage add-ons. Disable Add-ons you don't recognize and don't need or use. I personally don't use search toolbars b/c I can easily type in bing.com and then search. This is usually faster than running a bunch of add-ons anyway. After disabling the add-ons you don't recognize/want/use, look for the column that depicts load time. Anything that takes a long time to load is slowing down your browser, disable it if you can live without it. Finally, any add-ons that you chose not to disable should be updated if available. Check the site that belongs to the vendor listed in the Publisher column of the toolbar for instructions on how to update their product. Many updates require or work better if you uninstall the old version of the product first.
If you still experience crashes and slow loading, you should consider resetting IE. After resetting IE, notice the change in speed. You can then start to install the add-ons you want, but if it slows down again, you should disable the culprit that you just installed.
This is just me personally, but I prefer to run with minimal add-ons. After resetting IE, all i re-install is the latest version of my Firewall/AV suite's browsre protection, which truthfully, isn't necessary, but I've not had problems with it.

Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript

Hello,
My Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript (select movieclips -> modify -> convert to symbol -> check export for actionscript). I think this only happens when Photoshop CS5 is open.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Win7 64-bit. The only open programs are Flash, Photoshop, and Firefox.

Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
Close the application and open it with file again.
The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
thx
Sorry for my English.

Flash Player continually crashing.

When in Firefox trying to read Yahoo Flash crashes within a few seconds. Reset page, crashes again within a few seconds. Go to another page, crashes within a few seconds. Have to go through a "close" selection process each time. Vista home occurence report says " ShimEng.dll_unloaded" as cause. How to fix? Where is this dll available, where to load it? No luck so far with Adobe advice. Fresh reload of Flash Player still crashes. Yahoo videos cannot be viewed, etc. Am an elderly dummy with PC's. need help in basic plain language please.
I suspect that the trouble initiated by trouble makers trying to load a bad Trojan by offering to "update Windows Drivers???" . Luckily Kaspersky stopped them. Any help very much appreciated. Roy.

Unfortunately, this isn't a Flash Player crash. It's crashing down in the guts of your operating system.
When I see operating system files start getting corrupted on my own computer, I usually operate on the assumption that either my hard disk is on it's way out, or I have a malware infection. Since you're talking about Trojans, I'm thinking there's a good chance that you're in the second camp. If it's been a while since you've backed up your important data, I'd make that your first priority. I wouldn't bother backing up the operating system and applications, but all of your photos and documents, etc. USB memory sticks can also be infected with malware at the hardware level and can re-infect your computers, so I'd go with an external hard disk or something.
Once you've got your stuff backed up, I'd spend an evening reinstalling the operating system. You haven't mentioned it specifically, but I'm thinking that you'e on Windows Vista. If you're taking the time to reinstall the OS, I'd recommend thinking seriously about upgrading to Windows 7 as part of that process. The Win7 upgrade is less than $100 on Amazon. The vast majority of Windows users are on Win7 at this point (Vista is < 10% last time I checked), so much more effort goes into making sure that software works well on Win7.

Why are you saying that the 64-bit version of Flash Player is running in the 32-bit version of I.E.9?
My mistake. I looked at WOW64 in the faulting module and suffered an momentary lapse in concentration I think. That of course means that it's a 32-bit module running in a 64-bit environment. Apologies for the error.

Flash9b.ocx crash once again

Hi, all
I'd really like to see an official message from Adobe
concerning the issue with Flash9b.ocx crashing in IE. Surely they
must have received a lot of messages from disgruntled users.
I work for an online newspaper and we have several hundred
thousand page impressions every day. And for lots of users our
front page causes the Flash player to crash. It's practically
impossible to isolate which banner ad(s) that will lead to a crash.
My theory is that there are certain ActionScript commands
that are handled in a different manner in the new player, while
swfs that contain only animation will work.

When the origin and the mechanism of the crash
known this is a very simple idea. I'll try it and hope it shall fix
the problem.
But I don't understand this: This error occurs allready since
end of January or begin of february 2006 on my computer, visiting a
lot of sites. I spent allready very much of time trying to solve
followed problems. I wrote allready an email to Adobe support and
got not any perheaps only formal politeness answer, not to mention
any suggestion of trying to fix it. I don't know what does this
strategy of Adobe mean :/

Flash9b.ocx Crash

I am getting a crash in Flash9b.ocx 9.00.28.0 (everytime the
control loads) with Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP Profession
SP2 (and I think I had the same issue with Flash Player 8 too). It
appears to be an "invalid opcode" exception on an "emms"
instruction (at 0x300511F5 when the module is loaded at 0x30000000;
I could tell you more with symbols and/or source). The machine is a
Pentium Pro 200 MHz system with 256 MB of RAM. I know this system
does not support MMX. I am also aware this is the below the cited
system requirements of a Pentium II 450 MHz or better. Does Flash
Player 9 even have an MMX incapable code path? Even if it does not,
it should be noted I received no errors on install or at run-time
(unless you count the crash itself). I think it should probe for
MMX support and give a message at least instead of just crash
(Note: a Pentium Pro is a Family 6 processor without MMX support so
you should probe for MMX and not just processor class).
Besides the obvious bug, if Flash Player does not support my
platform at all (even unofficially) what are my options? I noticed
Flash Player 7 did not have any processor requirements (though I
imagine it requires at least a 386 for Win32 support). Of course I
also noticed Flash Player 7 is no longer supported at all too(only
9 and 8 seem to be currently supported).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,
In another thread titled "Flash Player 9 crashes Internet
Explorer 6"

I described the exact same symptoms as yours.
I too arrived at the same conclusion as you.
I believe that since my Pentium II (200 mhz.) does not
support MMX technology, then that explains why Flash Player 8 and
newer always crash the first time I visit a webpage supporting
Flash content.
I am wondering if the reason Flash 8 and 9 get installed
without alerting the user that their CPU does not support MMX is
because there is no flag in the Windows configuration file to
indicate that this is the case.
If such a flag exists and is incorrectly set, then perhaps by
changing it, then Flash Player would load with an alternate set of
software routines to mimic the missing hardware instructions.
I am trying to find out more about how the installation of
Windows goes about detecting and advertising the presence or
absence of MMX.
