Flash CS3 crashes every time

After using Flash CS3 and trying to quit the software, it locks up. I have to use Macintosh "force quit" utility every time. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Here are my system specs.
Mac OS 10.5.8
Flash CS3, 9.0

You could try re-installing the software - ...or you could try calling tech support and wait on hold for an hour or two before someone from another part of the world tries to walk you through a couple more hours of frustration before telling you they've tried everything they know - "maybe it's your computer"...
Sorry if I sound synical, but I just spent $1800 on a full e-Learning suite that won't load, and I've spent two full days back and forth and on hold with Adobe's so-called support to no avail - and now it "must be my computer causing a conflict..."
So... "I could try re-installing the Operating System and wiping the computer clean" (and re-installing ALL of my previous softwares), and that might help...
Good luck with your issue... At least they "apologize for the inconvenience" when it crashes...

Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I try "safe as" command!

Hi
My Photoshop CS3 crashes every time I try "safe as" command, I am on OsX 10.5.6. I tried to reinstall the problem is still there, permissions are fixed, I have no idea what happened. It worked for years without problems and now all of the sudden that. The only change I did on the machine is to install PGP.
Any ideas??
Thanks

>It is not a notebook, but a MacPro 32GB RAM ( I think it should be enough) over 700GB for scratch and 160GB HD. I don't think that it is PGP, because the same configuration runs on my 2.6 Macbook Pro perfectly.
Understand that the two machines are not running
exactly the same configuration -- unless you've got 32GB RAM stuffed inside and have matching drives, applications, third-party software/utilities/plugins, OS, and application preference settings on both.
I'm trying to figure out what is different on the two systems.
Also, how did you prepare the computer when you ran upgrades? Did you run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior?

CS3 crashes, every time I open it

Flash cs3 crashes on me every time I open it. Sometimes I can open a file before it crashes and sometimes it crashes even if it's just the software that's open.
The message I get is the generic Windows "Flash has closed unexpectedly would you like to send an error report, sorry for the inconvenience"...
It makes it hard to get any work done when the software won't run properly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Flash Player Crashing every time it is opened

About a week ago I decided to remove the trial version of PSE from my computer. The trial period was over and to be honest I like Gimp much, much better (even more so now given all the problems I have encountered this past week.) I had a very difficult time getting PSE removed from my computer; even running my system as an administrator with full permissions granted, I kept getting the message that I did not have permission to change this file, it required an administrator. WTF big time! I contacted tech support to find out why I was having this problem, but unfortunately poor Gilligan was so lost all he could do was imply that I must be lying. Yes, that actually happened folks. I asked to be connected to a higher level and was supplied with a dead link. I finally got this Adobe crapware off my computer using brute force-yes Virginia, I did try using uninstall utilities of several flavors. There was no uninstall feature with the PSE software which led Gilligan to tell me I did not know what I was doing or talking about; I don't work for Adobe so I do know a little bit about what I am doing, sorry Gilligan. In cleaning the registery I was shocked to see what Adobe had placed in my system and even more shocked to see where it had been placed; why does Adobe feel the need to hide data miners in their crapware?
Since this issue with PSE, Flash Player has completely stopped functioning; prior to this everything functioned flawlessly. However, now every time I encounter flash content on a web page I am greeted by that familiar greyed out message, "Adobe Flash Player has crashed, send an error reort." I am not exagerating when I say that I have submitted well in excess of 100 error reports just in the past day alone. I have uninstalled and reinstaled new copies of Flash Player several times now, the latest version, 11 I think it was, as well as some of the archived older versions; after every install I have been directed to an Adobe web page telling me that Flash has been properly installed. My drivers are up to date on EVERYTHING, I utilize a utility that checks for updates regularly. I am running Windows 7 in a 64 bit environment (and yes I know for a fact that it is 64bit as I installed the 64 bit OS, and have verified it.) Using the latest version of IE, 9.0.8112.16421 (both 32 and 64 bit versions), when Flash Player crashes so does IE, every time. I open a web page containing flash content and poof, adobe error message followed by the IE error message, "something has caused IE to stop working properly." Using the most current version of FF, 8.0.1, this happens about 50% of the time and wipes my RAM completely clean clean when it crashes. I have removed everything branded as Adobe from my computer, and attempted starting from scratch. The only option I know of that is left is to wipe the drive clean and reinstall everything from scratch (yes Gilligan, that really is the only thing that has yet to be tried that I personally know of.)
So do I just give up and resign myself to never again see an online video until web developers realize just how crappy Adobe software has become and cleanse the web of flash and all things Adobe?? Or is there by some slim chance someone out there that has found a work around? What would really be nice is to have an alternative to Adobe Flash; I guess this shows why monopolies are a very bad thing as it allows for this sort of crap (trust me, I want to say so much worse right now, I really have come to despise Adobe) to go unchecked as long as they can turn a profit. So, any suggestions????

I dont know what's happening, Abode crashes all the time. I installed the latest version of Java, Mozilla, all updates on windows XP. Ca you help me?

Flash player Crashes every time 3 items or more running...

Since I updated to Flash Player 11,7,700,169 every time 3 or more Flash player items run, Flash Player crashes.
This happens in either Firefox or IE!
Eg.If the problem occurs in Firefox when I also have IE open then it affects IE & Vice Versa...
Is there a fix for this as it's becoming ridiculous now with the amount of crashes happening?

Hi Chris,
I'm not the original reporter, but I can confirm IE9 crashes in my wife's Windows 7 computer every time, on this site: http://dk.timefor.tv after latest update. Whenever she presses the "TV-Guide" link, it'll crash. It also happens if she opens the http://dk.timefor.tv/tv-guide directly, but in that case not until she leaves the page or closes the browser. Other sites are not quite as consistent, but after the update she sees a _lot_ of crashes, to the point that she's had to disable the plugin and use Chrome for sites using Flash instead.
IE9 in my own computer doesn't have the same problem (Both are 64-bit Windows 7, her computer is a T420 with a Core i5-2410M and 4 GB RAM).
I'm sending you the dump now (John, please note that you need to use -f * instead of -f "" to actually get it to create the dump, -f "" just shows that there was an exception, it wont dump it).
A funny thing I noticed is that her add-on manager thought that the plugin was 10.x (can't remember the exact version), even though more information said that the file was "Flash32_11_7_700_169.ocx" until I completely removed the Flash plugin installation and installed it again. However, the crash persists, even though the version is correct now (the dump is from the freshly installed version).
Another difference I saw between our machines was that the Flash updater on my PC did not require IE to be closed, but hers did, both when trying to re-update and doing the fresh install.
Best regards,
Dennis Du Krøger

Flash Player crashes every time in Firefox

Hello everybody, hope this is the right section of the forum, if it's not, please move this discussion to an appropriate forum.
I'm using Windows 8 x64 since some months (it's release to MSDN since september) and I never had problems with Flash Player with Firefox. Since some weeks, every time I reload/open a page which contains some flash player content, Firefox freezes for some seconds, and the small wheel of the mouse pointer cames out for a few seconds, then it stops, then it reappears again. It continues for 4-5 times, than it stops, and FF says that the Flash Player plugin has stopped working. If I take a look to the processes under Task Manager, I can see that the two processes called "Adobe flash player r502 etc..." (or something like this) are closed and reopened 4-5 times, and then it stops working when FF shows the error message. What I've tried:
1) Completely uninstalling Flash player and Reinstalling it.
2) Install a previous version, nothing.
3) Install the beta version 11.6, nothing. (At the beginning I was using the 11.5 version).
4) Start FF in safe mode (so with all of the plugins disabled).
I don't know how to solve the problem. Can someone help me? It's very annoying that I have every time to wait about 10 secs to click on something because flash player tries reopening by itself and then crashes again...
Thank you so much.

I have the same problem. Latest version Firefox and Flash, and the plugin causes Firefox to freeze all the time on one of my computers. It does so even if I uninstall and reinstall, if I reboot, etc. At times I can get through a few pages, but once the problem happens it seems to really happen on nearly every web page with Flash on it. I click on a tab or open a link, and Firefox freezes. It is completely unresponsive for some amount of time, usually 3-5 minutes. Usually I then get a message asking whether I want to continue or stop an unresponsive script. Only the Stop option will allow me to continue browsing (Continue never resolves the issue, just forces me to wait until the window comes back and I can click on Stop).
In some cases I get an actual crash. This can be if I try to click within the browzer more than a few times when the browser is frozen, or at times it crashes regardless. Rarely it has frozen and won't respond at all, so I have to call up task manager and shut it down.
My other computers don't have this issue, but my main one does.

Flash Cs4 crashes every time I try to add an image.

Every time I try paste an image from anywhere in the flash file (all scenes) it crashes. I also cannot export to .swf.
I tried saving the file with different names in different locations and did not work.
I also have no corrupt font (tried looking for them after I read it in a forum)
I really need a solution or find where the problem is to be able to continue what ive been working on.
Any ideas?
I work on a pc: WIN XP pro
RAM:4GB

i have reinstalled flash and still has the same problem.
also now after several tries, it crashes when initializing

Flash CC crashes every time I try to export an image

I just downloaded the free trial of Flash CC because I wanted to test it out as a drawing program. I just finished an illustration and want to export it as a .JPEG, but every time I try, Flash crashes! I tried creating a new file and just exporting an image of a small circle, and even that caused the program to crash.
I don't want to have wasted a free trial and be unable to use or access these images after the trial runs out, simply because I cannot export them into image files.
Any help would be wonderful, thanks.
(I am using a desktop Mac, if that makes any difference)

Are you on Mac OSX 10.6? Flash Pro CC is not supported on Mac 10.6 and this crash is one of the known issues on Mac 10.6.

CS3 crashes every time at quit

Howdy all, this post is similar but not identical to others. EVERY TIME that I use CS3 10.0.1 the application crashes when I use the menu to "QUIT PHOTOSHOP." This occurs even if I have opened the application and NEVER opened a photo at all! My MAC OS is 10.5.5. I am running on an Intel iMac of 20 inches. I have 3 GB of RAM and have a 235 GB hard drive of which 132 GB is free. On the iMac I have Parallels installed but this happens even if I am not running Parallels; ie. even if I have not been using XP at all. In fact it happens even if Photoshop is the ONLY application running. I have an Epson 2400 printer, a Linksys router, and a Brother 2040 laser on the system. I also have an HP 2175 scanner, but the crash occurs even if I have this turned off and disconnected from the system. The error message that I get is " The application Photoshop quite unexpectedly. " I use the Apple automatic check for updates function and that is how I got to this version of Mac OS.
Does anyone have any suggestions? This happens every time. When using Photoshop I do not get any crashes, and it seems to work trouble free. ONLY when I go to close do I get these error messages.

Solved!! I have no idea what was wrong, and no idea what I did to correct the problem, but it works now. First I re-installed Mac OS. Leopard and checked for ALL of the available updates. At that point I attempted to boot Photoshop, but I got a message that I needed to re-install CS3. After re-installing this, tedious I might add, and attempting to start the application, edit some photos, etc, then QUIT the application all was fine again. I might add, that I was NEVER able to delete the custom workspace that I created within Bridge. I could not find a file with that name and using the menu option to delete the workspace was not effective. At this point the application works fine, as does the custom workspace within Bridge . I must therefore conclude that the workspace was never the culprit in this strange order of events.

Flex 2-15: Adobe Flash settings crash every time.

I have a brand spankin new Flex 2-15, there's one problem. When I try to go into the Adobe Flash Settings using any browser (Chrome, FireFoxl, or IE) I immediately get a window telling me that Adobe Flash has crashed. I send off the error report, and try again. Same result.
All I really want to do is switch from the built in camera to my external camera.
I have done the following to try to troubleshoot this problem:
1) Uninstalled Flash from FireFox, rebooted computer, downloaded and installed Flash for Firefox v15.0.0.183. Tried to enter Flash Settings, Flash crashed.
2) Checked for updates to Graphiocs adapter driver. windows found Intel display adapter v 10.18.10.3907. Installed that.
Rebooted computer, tried to enter Flash settings, flash crashed.
3) turned off the PepperFlash in Chrome, couldn't access website without having Flash enabled.. (I thought we could at one time have both PetterFlash and separate copy of Flash on Chrome, and we turned off PepperFlash if there were problems. Guess that's not the case as I can't find a copy of Flash for Chrome any longer.)
4) Flash on IE is like Flash on Chrome It's now pre-installed., Tried to enter Flash Settings from IE, and Flash Crashed.
In short Flash crashes whenever I try to enter Flash settings from any website. updating the graphics controller didn't help and re-installing Flash didn't cbange anything
Anybody have any suggestions. This is getting really annoying.
Thanks Guys
Dan

Adobe Forums: Illustrator Crashing Mac

45 minutes into editing, CS3 crashes every time...how much free space does it require to run?

I have noted the error, but cannot contact Adobe with question. How much free space does it need to run efficiently? This happens every time I try to edit and is costing me so much time, it is not worth using this product. Help...

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem. First, I would need to know what kind of computer you use. You should usually alllocate at least 30% of storage for photoshop files, rendering etc.
Also, it is important to know if you have a computer that is capable of handling large files(as they will need a competent video card processor, RAM and processor speed).
Does the problem usually happen for large files or only one?
Let me know if you find this information useful,
Vicente.

Flash CS4 Crashes every time on a Mac

I've been using Flash CS4 on my MAC running 10.5 for over 6 months with no issues. But now when I open a fla file it opens but when I click anywhere it will crash within seconds. I've restarted my computer and checked that my Flash App is up to date. Does anyone have suggestions?
thanks!

I did a uninstall of Flash and then reinstalled it. The issue remains, Flash crashes with in seconds of opening any FLA. I tried creating a new FLA and it to crashed.

Flash crashes every time I attempt to import

Hello,
I am using the trial version of Flash CS3. Every time I
attempt to import either to the library or stage the screen gives a
quick little flicker and the application crashes to the desktop and
doesn't report an error to the screen or in the event viewer. Does
anyone have an idea as to why this would happen?
Thanks!

/agree
i think it may have something to do with Windows SP3 cuz i'm
having the same issue ... and apparently others are having the same
issue :(
I've yet to see a 'fix' for this bug, but hopefully it'll
happen soon cuz i cant use Flash until that's fixed ... gl on
getting it fixed!
