Flash 11.3.300.268 crashing browsers

Question

hey seen a few people with varied issues to this,
i have firefox 14 and flash player 11.3.300.268 is terrorising my system, i have reinstalled it to no avail i believe its crashing with internet explorer too.
when it goes sometimes it takes my whole system with it and i just have to hit the power button and hard reboot
also i have noticed that whenever the flashplayer process is active there are 2...

OS: Windows 7 64 bit SP-1
RAM: 2GB DDR3 (I know 64bit needs 4GB but i have virtual memory in use and a very good motherboard to cope with it)
CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640 @ 3.12GHz
HD 2x 500GB
this has only started with recent updates, as I said reinstalling plugin hasnt worked, have sweeped firefox, CCleaner is run near enough daily too so seems to be flash player itself, also I have ran it in compatibility with administrator privelages...
is this perhaps a 64 bit issue? noticed many other topics on the net are posting 64bit specs
I hope thats enough information for now? look forward to a solution soon

Answer 1

thanks for the reply
yes i am also experiencing what you said
as for the lags, i did several test and it seems happen when i have many tabs with several flash on my firefox (especially with active flash, like video stream)
so when switching between tabs (on setting menu), there like few seconds delay until showing the tabs/the rollover graphic turn from faded to clear
it more like intermitents, sometimes the lags disappear and switching between tabs is back to normal/smooth without lag...
then few click on tabs make the lag come again ..
well its not serious problem, as we rarely need to change flash setting
