Flash crashing my Windows 7 computer?

So a while back i started crashing randomly so i googled it and found nothing and it eventually stopped but recently it started again but more frequently. At first i thought it was Steam because when i opened it my computer would crash but when i uninstalled it i would still crash then i noticed it was only when i was watching youtube / was on a flash game so i did some researching and found out that others were having this issue is 2010/2013 and seeming to have the same crashing problems. Is there any was to fix this? Freezing computer(can still move mouse), Blue screen, auto restart, says Operating system is not found, have to restart again.

So you're saying my monitor is causing the crashes? That doesn't make sense since I lose computer response as well.. Also I watch other stuff like Twitch.tv w/ no problems, it's only when I watch videos from Youtube.
Nope. I said when I saw that, it was caused by a bad monitor. It's caused by "video hardware", which could be all sorts of things. Those repetitive lines are caused by something electrical, sort of like a sine wave on an oscilloscope. Software doesn't cause a monitor, (CRT, LED or LCD) to do that. What you're seeing is cycles of output caused by whatever component malfucntions when this happens. It could be a connector, the GPU, or any of who knows how many different things on the MoBo or throughout the system. Something in YouTube videos, and probably other sites as well, is pushing something too far or accessing something bad hardwarewise, that fails and causes this.

Flash crashes in Windows 7 while resizing canvas

Every single time I try to resize the canvas in Flash CS4 running in Windows 7 I get a runtime error (see attached), then Flash crashes. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have had something very similar happen and I believe I have it resolved. I built a new Windows 7 64 Bit Theatre Computer with a Saphire video card. The computer would crash using Flash. I first experienced it using HuLu but then noticed again when listening to online radio. I thought it was the video card and so I replaced it. The second one had a bad fan and so a month later I finally got a good video card, but the only thing is it crashed too--extremely frustrating.
I did a lot of research today and found people were solving the issue by uninstalling the IDC Audio Driver. I dont have the IDC Audio Driver. I disabled my Realtek HD Audio within Device Manager. Things started to work but without sound. So, I uninstalled the Realtek Audio Driver through Add/Remove Programs. I restarted my computer and Device Manager installed the Generic High Definition Audio Device Driver and we have sound.
I have even re-enabled hardware acceleration which was a definite killer to freezing my computer. I am very happy now and hope this helps many. What a headache that was. Check out our Home Theatre Systems at www.hawkepc.com

Program Crashes on Windows 2000 Computer

This post is a little long, but I tried to provide as much information as possible.
Due to increased production volumes we added an additional test station. We have been having problems with a LabVIEW program crashing when I run the program on new test station I just installed. The program works fine on the older station but doesn’t on the new test station. The main difference I see is that the new station runs on Windows 2000 professional and the old station runs on Windows NT 4.0. The other difference is that new computer is faster. The program usually crashes after testing 12 devices (4 devices are tested simultaneously), so after the 3rd time through the test routine the program crashes. We can reload the program and test another 12 devices until the computer crashes again. It appears like program is crashing in the “Write 1 point to digital line.vi” because one of the digital lines is stuck high after it crashes. I have attached the library “Press Key.llb” for reference. The main vi is named “Press Key.vi” which controls the action/duration of digital lines for each test ( 0 through 32).
Hardware/Software overview:
The Test Station consists of Pentium IV computer with four (4) National Instruments PCI MIO16E-1 DAQ cards and 1 PCI – GPIB card that communicates to a power supply.
The program is “written” in LabVIEW version 6.0. The program is built into an executable and runs with LabVIEW runtime engine. The program is rather large (2.5 MB)
The program uses the 4 DAQ boards to simultaneous acquire data from four devices under test. Two of the DAQ boards are also used to control relays that activate air cylinders. The air cylinder presses on specific keys on the devices under test. Once the devices are set, the 4 DAQ boards each take the another set of measurements. This process is repeated (Approximately 30 times) until the devices are complete.
Note: The program typically uses 184 MB of Ram
Computer 1: Old Station (In use for 2-3 years) Working fine
Computer Pentium IV computer
Processor Pentium IV 1 Ghz
RAM 256 MB
Operating System Windows NT version 4.0
NI DAQ Version 6.6
Computer 2: New Station Problems crashing
Computer Pentium IV computer
Processor Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz
RAM 256 MB
Operating System Windows 200 Professional
NI DAQ Version 7.2
Any Help would be appreciated!
Thanks Jayme

Regarding the releasing of memory. Yes the "problem" computer memory starts at 184 MB and climbs to 197 MB right before it crashes. The "good" computer memory starts at 184 MB and stays there. They are both running the same exe file only different OS.
Yes I do use a DLL called LVDAQ.DLL. I this DLL is probably being called when the software crashes
When I generate the exe using LabVIEW application builder (on a Windows NT station) the lvdaq.DLL is created automatically. Is there a setting to define which library is created? or can I get this file from NI?

Flash Crashes in Windows 7, 64 bit

I have followed all the steps on : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Nothing seems to work. This issue started after Flash updated. It crashes in Firefox and IE (which I don't like to use). Firefox is my prefered browser, however, flash seems to be working in Chrome now.
I don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Adobe Flash Crash Problem Windows 8.1 FireFox

I have had an issue with not being able to watch any video's or play games on my computer due to adobe flash constantly crashing. I have an HP computer- 64 with windows 8.1 and I use Firefox. I thought I resolved the issue when I uninstalled and then reinstalled adobe, but when I restarted my computer for updates it went back to crashing. I have reset my firefox browser and that did not help anything. I also have found that everytime I restart or shut down my computer adobe flash goes back to malfunctioning. I also wanted to add that I checked the plugins on my browser and it says I have Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6.70 active and ShockwaveFlash 13.0.0.182 active. How do I fix this frustraiting problem?

Have you done a complete "clean install"?
Download the Flash Player uninstaller: Flash Player Uninstaller (825 KB)
Download the Flash Player FULL Installer: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Go to: C/ Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (It'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Go to: C/ Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (Again, it'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Emtpy your Recycle bin.
Run the FULL installer.

Firefox Flash Crashes on Windows 8 Tablet (Surface Pro) when onboard touch keyboard is activated or when screen orientation is changed

Whenever I have firefox open and I need to type something using the onboard touch keyboard, the moment I activate the keyboard, Firefox freezes. I then receive a prompt saying Flash has stopped working. However, I have updated shockwave flash to the most recent one. Also, I noticed at intermittent times, whenever I change the orientation (portrait --> landscape) on my tablet, I get the same issue as above.
I am not sure if this is a Flash issue, or some sort of integration problem with firefox and the windows8 tablet features.

I have tried that, but did not work. I switched over to Nightly which is still in beta, and it is much better. But still some flashsites like youtube still crash every so often....
Anyone have anything for this?

IPhone 4 crashes a Windows XP computer when attached

A friend of mine is using an iPhone 4. I have to support him with OS-upgrades and moving data (music, pictures) to & from his phone, because when he attaches his iPhone to his PC, the PC crashes: shuts down within a second.
Equipment used: iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
PC: C2D, 4GB RAM, Windows XP, iTunes (did not note the version)
The PC normally serves seceral USB connections, like external HD and printer.
iTunes runs normally.
Then you attach the iPhone via USB.
The iPhone appears in the sidebar of iTunes, there is a chime, and then, within a fraction of a second, the PC shuts down.
It shuts down very fast, completely, so next you have to switch it on with he power switch.
Has anything like this happened to anyone? Any ideas, suggestions?
Many thanks!

Use the Windows File Transfer Utility to move everything.

Importing with flash drive from windows xp computer?

Have a xp that the music was managed from old verision accout. using a flashdrive i copied wma files. and cant transport to itunes.
also having same problem with avi file and imovie.

WMA can be played with iTunes on a PC but not on a Mac. Other applications such as VLC and Cog can play WMA on a Mac, or you can convert the files to mp3 or other iTunes-compatible format. DRM protected WMA cannot be converted and can only be played on a PC.
AVI is a again very Windows-oriented movie format. Adding Perian to your system makes it more playable, though I am not sure about doing so in iMovie. Alternatively you can play it easily with VLC.
[VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

AdBlock Plus isn't maintained or connected to Mozilla as they didn't develop it. ABP and Flash don't interfere with each other except on same cases that ABP blocks Flash content.
You can Try disabling Hardware Acceleration. <br>
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

Constant crashing with Flash CC in Windows 8.1

Hello I am an avid Flash user who has worked in the program for roughly 10 years since before it was bought by Adobe and called Macromedia MX5. This most recent version of Flash CC is incredibly buggy with respect to the following areas..
I am constantly suffering crashes in Flash on my windows 8.1 desktop computer. The tower I have is more than capable to handle Flash CC so I don't understand why it is crashing. This isn't happening with even heavier hitting software such as After Effects only Flash CC.
I especially notice crashes and stalling when saving as well as when scrubbing or playing in the timeline or trying to clear key frames or adjust keyframes in any manner.
Additionally I have noticed more substantial problems and flaws with Flash CC in comparison to previous versions. This is evident most in the audio options. I think a lot of the problems that stem from audio playback and lagging playback time is the fact that audio is defaulting to a repeat function of 1x when it should default to no repeat function. Sometimes changing repeat to 0 resolves this issue but even still audio always seems to start from beginning of the clip/sound file as opposed to playhead despite having stream selected. This was never a probelm in previous versions of Flash for me, EVER. I don't understand how this has become a problem now all of a sudden when this version of Flash is supposed to be running 64bit as opposed to 32bit.
I also noticed that the audio on some files has ceased to work when I revisit the file later on. It will not play no matter what in the stage/timeline but is audible when I do a test movie or export movie.
Is anyone else having similar issues here? I didn't seem to have so many problems when I was using Flash CS6, this audio thing is probably my biggest beef though I can't say I'm too fond of the crashing either.

first try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting flash pro. you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
if that fails, uninstall and then reinstall flash pro.
if that fails, uninstall, clean and then reinstall flash pro following these steps exactly, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

Adobe Flash Plugin Crashing With Browser and Computer Softwares

Windows 8.1 64bit
Chrome 39.0.2171.95
Flash Player 16
I was video chatting when suddenly my flash crashed, now it won't work with anything. Some examples are VLC, Spotify, and Skype, the minute i open these programs they will just become unresponsive. It also does not work on either Chrome or IE (Can't watch youtubes videos or go on certain websites). I have tried uninstalling and doing a clean installation of flash, but that didn't do anything. I have also tried re-installing shockwave, but that did not do anything (I did restart my computer). Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I did what you asked and it appears to have worked! It has not been crashing to say the least! I will mark as solved create a new one if I experience the problem again. That Guig!
