Flash player and shockwave crashing on my website

I am using an open source flash effect on my new site (www.tristanstroud.com) called Piecemaker2.
After running fine for a few minutes it ether freezes or I get the message shockwave flash player has stopped responding do you want to stop it.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest flash and shockwave players.
I have tested this on two seperate stable powerful systems: laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate, 2.0Ghz Intel i7 quadcore, 8GB RAM) and my desktop (Windows 7 Ultimate, 3.2Ghz AMD quadcore, 12GB RAM). It works fine for a while but then the header with the special effects freezes. Refresh fixes it untill the next crash or sometimes all of Google Chrome freezes and as to be restarted.
Any idea why Flash Player and Shackwave are crashing and how to fix this?
Thanks

Which player is installed on your system? http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
If it is not 11.2 player, please post the issue on http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/using_flashplayer to follow up.
Thanks,

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.

What's the Difference Between Flash Player and Shockwave?

Hi,
I was wondering what's the difference between Flash Player
and Shockwave? And how do you know which one isn't working? I
downloaded and installed Flash Player successfully but it did say
that the plug ins might be in another file and may not work
properly. There is one game that will work, but most everything
else doesn't. I don't get pictures (like adverts, ect.) in my
email. What is the problem?

I have found this site helpful. Adobe has a "Test Adobe
Shockwave & Flash Players" site. Here is the address:

Flash Player or Shockwave Crashing Windows7 x64

Hi ,
I bought just 1 week ago a new hardware for my gaming pc.. the rig is the one described
Specs
CPU
Intel i5-750 4cores 2.66 GHz
Ram
PNY XLR8 4GB DDR3-1600 Ram Kit (PC3-12800, 8-8-8-24, KCDIM4GBN/12800/3-XL)
Display
ATI SAPPHIRE 5850
Motherboard
Intel® 5 Series Chipset Board DH55TC
As im a hardware technician i ve updated everything from bios, audio drivers , display etc....
After a long searching i found out that flash (player or shockwave) seems to cause the problem... what i mean is that whenever i visit certain sites, or watching videos from web players the pc is starting to freeze, crash , lag etc... if i leave it for a long time... the OS is totally crashed, and i need to reboot the pc after that, if i close the browser in the middle of the freezing ( the respond times of clicks etc is so damn slow...) if i manage to close everything related to adobe flash - firefox etc - and i open a game for example the pc is behaving like a charm....
My question is... is anybody else having this problem ?
And if u have it, what did you do or what do you suggest me to do in order to get this lame lag fixed ?

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, and Adobe Flash Player does not support the 64bit, you need to use the 32bit browser which is the default in Win7.
Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Right click on the Flash folder and post back all files listed. The IE files will have the version number. The NPSWF files will not, right click on each one and then Properties to obtain the version info. I need all of the files listed with that info.
Using IE, go to your ALL add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (vs 10.0.45.2) and make sure that is listed and Enabled.
Using FF, find the plug-in SWF and make sure it is version 10.0.45.2 and Enabled as well.
Please list your Anti-Virus/Spyware/Firewall info, with a version number for the AV.
Do you have ad-block in Firefox? If so Disable it for now.
Do you use any pop up blocking software?
Using IE, go to Tools>Internet Options>Security Tab and make sure security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Thanks,

Flash Player and Shockwave player Not Recognized

I have Safair running in Rosetta.
Some webisites state I need 7 or above Flash Player and that I don't have Shockwave Player- but I do!
I tested them at the Adobe webiste and it states I have Flash Player 8,0,24,0 and Shockwave l0,1r,11 Successfully installed.

Susiecat, there is a new Flash Player 9.0 plugin beta that runs natively on Intel Macs and probably will be general release soon. The new Shockwave Player 10.1.1r16 plugin still needs to be run with Safari in Rosetta mode but probably will be ported to run natively on Intel-based Macs soon.

Adobe flash player and shockwave keeps crashing

why cant you not fix this issue with all games on facebook and zynga games as it keeps crashing and freezing and we have to send a report every 5 minutes to you guys this is getting nothing but a pain in our butts either you fix the problems or be reported to the better bussiness office you need to fix this asap every time we play games it stops and says send report to adobe which we do all the time this has been going on for about 9 months now and it nothing but a pain in my arse you guys are making me sick you update it all the time, but you never have a fix you need to have a fix for windows 7 and windows 8. i bet all you guys that do updates for the flash player i bet any money you guys are just drinking coffee and eating donuts and on your phones you guys are nothing but a f----------- joke

I have this issue/problem me tooo.
And i have the latest adobe flash player version and the latest mozilla firefox 26.0.
BUT STILL CRASHING WHY DON'T FIND ANY SOLUTION TO MAKE IT MORE STABLE THIS FROM A VERY OLD VERSIONS OF FIREFOX?
WHY CHROME AND OTHER BROWSERS DOESN'T CRASH WITH ADOBE?
MAYBE BECAUSE IT USE AN INTERNAL PLUGIN FOR FLASH AND NOT THIS THE ADOBE WAS RELEASED.
PLEASE MAKE THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER STABLE.

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player

In the past, when I goto Adobe's website and choose the "flash and shockwave" test, I could easily see what version were installed. At some point with version 3.2, I guess shockwave was removed. It is no longer in the plugins folder.

Regarding Rosetta emulation for Intel Mac... If you have installed the latest update of shockwave 11 you will need to untick/disable Rosetta as sw 11 is supposed to have resolved the reason Rosetta was needed in the first place. Also, having Rosetta enabled causes web pages running on Java to not work.
I have a problem using Safari with a shockwave dependent web game that I am an administrator for so this problem is something I hope I can somehow fix. Other administrators using Safari are not experiencing the same issues so I'm thinking it's something in my computer causing this issue. I cannot supply the URL for this site as we are working on a beta for a new release of the game and the URL is password protected and I am not free to disclose as per confidentiality agreement with the game's creator.
iMac G5 OS 10.4.11 Safari 3.1.2 Recently uninstalled and installed the latest update added to shockwave 11. I have not yet updated Safari to 3.2.1
I have no crashes while on the site but I have a very annoying delay when entering text into the text field of the game. The characters delay before showing up and I have to hit enter several times to send my text to their server. I used the browser Opera v8 for a few years due to this issue with Safari but after the site was updated to allow for shockwave 11 I had to update Opera and the text issue is even worse than Safari. The game's creator and other admins using Mac are of no help as they are not having the same problem. Is there anything I can do within my system to try to resolve this issue? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Flash Player 11 constantly crashing on every Website with Flashcontent...

Hi,
I am having problems with the latest Update of Adobe Flash Player to release 11. I am on a Mac(10.6.8) running the 64bit kernel. At the moment I installed Flash Player 11, every Website with Flashcontent is crashing. This also happens in Chrome, not only Safari or Firefox. I did everything Adobe provides as possible solutions. Do an uninstall with the uninstaller, then install fresh. I had a look in both of the Internet Plugins folder to make sure everything got removed correctly. But the new install won't work.
What works is uninstalling Flash Player 11 and installing Flash Player 10.3 again. Everything works like a charm then. Well... except in Chrome of course.
Just as a last bit of information: I never had any beta or alpha versions of the player installed.
Can anyone please help me? Does anyone else encounter this problem?
Regards
Alex

Flash player and shockwave player "not installed"

I recently downloaded the most current shockwave player and
flash player, but when I go to a website that requires the program
it tells me that I need to install the shockwave player/flash
player. I download each again and have even shut down and rebooted
to see if that helps but it doesn't, it keeps telling me that the
shockwave player/flash player is not installed and that I need to
install it again. Can anyone help me find out if there are any
settings that might need to be changed on my computer to let them
run? Customer support was no help what so ever and just told me to
reinstall.
Operating System: Windows XP
Browser: Microsoft IE version 7
Thank you very much

I am having the exact same problem. All are Windows XP SP2
machines. Funny thing is, it seems only to be occurring on a
certain 'block' of newer computers. anything more than about 8-10
months old, and the app runs fine. Brand new machines <1 month
old are fine. I have a number of machines in that 1-8 month-old
range that are exhibiting the problem. I found this
here
but it does not seem to work. Anyone else with this issue?

Flash Player and Shockwave

I have Shockwave installed and it shows in Internet
Explorer Add-ons as Shockwave Flash Object, Enabled,Active X
Control, Flash 9d.ocx. The download showed "Shockwave Player 10.1."
I have downloaded and run the installation for Flash Player. I
receive a message that the "Flash Player was installed
successfully" but it does not show in Add or Remove Programs and
does not show in Explorer Add-ons. I have tried rebooting after the
installation but apparently the program is not installing. Can
anyone . Could this be a setting problem? Can someone help?

Received this message on September 29. I still cannot get my
flash player to work. I can't get it to enable.
Ericson100 has posted a message entitled Re: Adobe Flash
Player will not work.
Message Posted on: Saturday September 29,2007 11:49:29 PM
This might be extremely simple (but I was having the same
problem that everyone noted and tried everything to no avail).
After beating my head against the wall, I looked at the add-ons
that were being used for IE. I noticed that some of the Adobe
add-ons were disabled (specifically the one with Flash and Active
X. So I enabled them and I was inmediately able to view flash
player files. I rebooted the computer a couple of times and it
still held true. Then I decided to disable the add-ons once again
and voila! - I could not use the flash player again.
Anyways, hope this helps someone else and that it is not
temporary.
By the way - I am running regular Windows XP

Is Flash player and Shockwave plugin different?

Do I need to install seperate plugin for Shockwave? Some online games I can play and some are asking for Shockwave?

Now I cleared my concept. Flash and shockwave are different things.
Thanks for the information shared by http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-shockwave-and-flash

Flash Player and Shockwave will not install

All Adobe download pages seem dead. I click on the 'install' tabs and nothing happens.
I've disabled my firewall and it's still the same.
Uninstall tabs work but not install tabs.
Any idea what's happening?

You will need to furnish your Operating System, 32bit or 64bit. Browser(s) used and versions.

Flash Player and Windows 7

OK. I also have the issue with Flash Player seeming to download and install but not work.   I checked the activex addons and it shows up. I can't find a directory anywhere even after changing the settings to show all.
And if this is not annoying enough I have the same problem w shockwave.
I realize that w W7 I'm missing something but with all the reorganization I can't find things.
Suggestions please.
I did find in control panel a selection called default programs and under that a selection which is associate file extentions w programs
I see that .swf is for shockwave flash player but it labeled as unknown app. It appears that I can set that but first have to find the programs.    even after setting file options to show hidden files I could not find either the shockwave or flash player
Well I am not sure if I have progress or regression.... I deinstalled it all. then reinstalled shockwave. It said I needed to reboot to complete the install. I let it.... no shockwave. I went back out to the installation and tried again and it says I need to reboot to complete the install. I've gone round this loop 4 times.   I checked in the registry for anything adobe and only found reader.
I guessl neither shockwave nor flash player is compatible w W 7 yet
Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH
well after 3-4 reboots it says it's installed... again... but still does not work. I found another thread here that said it should be under windows/system32/Macromed/ ... something..   I don't have the directory Macro anything directory.
Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH

First. IE has entries for the flash player and shockwave. The Java level I have is JAVA 6 update 14
Second. Both the flash player and shockwave are installed according to Programs and Features on the control panel.
Third: There is no Macromed directory under system23. I did find one under: c:\windows\SysWOW64. The Macromed directory does have a Flash directory with 4 files. Flash10d.ocx, FlashUtil10d.exe, an install log and uninstall_activeX.exe
Fourth. The control panel has a selection called: Default programs. when I click on that I see a selection that allows me to associate a file type with a program. In that list .swf is not associated w anything.    Since .swf files are not associated w the flash player should I associate them with the flash player?
I have no problem w updating Java to update 18. I am reluctant to delete the older version though as I have encounterd programs in the past which won't run with newer ones.

What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome browser ?

What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome ?

I think Google Chrome is more easy to troubleshoot. Try this:
1. Open Chrome.
2. Click the far-right Icon (Customize and control Google Chrome).
3. Select about Google Chrome. It check if Google Chrome is up to date and if not it'll get update.
4. You must wait until a GREEN check mark appear saying your Google Chrome is up to date.
5. Remember, you don't need to get Adobe Flash Player separately because Google Chrome has it own integrated Player.
6. Accept Google Chrome constant upgrade to their Chrome browser.
Wishing you Good Luck!

Installed and verifed but Flash Player continues to crash in Firefox. Any suggestions

Flash Player sometime activates and then crashes after a few seconds.

Thanks for responding Chris. Flash Player consistently crashes no matter what site I am in. I've tried all of the suggested fixes in Flash Player help and nothing has been successful. The computer confirms that I have downloaded the most recent file but Adobe Flash Player doesn't show in the Firfox Add Ons. I also tried Firefox flash player suggestions but none worked. It crashes no matter what page I am on. If flash player is required, it crashes. It also crashes in Internet Explorer. I am a novice so please bear with me. Thanks for any help you can offer.

created by chris.campbell in Using Flash Player - View the full discussionHello,I'm sorry you're encountering these problems. I'll try what I can to help. 1. Have you tried any browser other than Firefox? It would be helpful to know if these same types of crashes occur with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.2. Did this crashing behavior just start occurring? If so, was there a particular update or event that preceded the crashing?3. Does the crashing happen consistently? Ie. If you go to the same web page that contains Flash content, does it crash every time you visit? Does it crash when you visit this page? Flash Player Help What pages does it crash on?4. Can you visit about:crashes within Firefox and submit some of the most recent crashes. Once submitted, please post back with the crash URL's.4. Can you try resetting your Firefox profile? Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
Firefox Help5. Finally, can you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (this will be the last step in the faq)? How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox? Thanks,
