Flash Player Crashes In All Web Browsers

Dear Adobe,
For months now when ever I visit a site that uses flash, wever it be in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox. Within about 5 minutes the page I am on will crash and report to me that, the flash plugin / player has crashed. It does this without fail, every time I go online. I mostly play zynga games on facebook. I also use fullscreen whenever possible, and always using the latest version of flash thanks to the cool flash updater.
I have just today checked and updated to the latest nvidia graphics drivers with a clean installation.
I followed advice about disabling hardware acceleration and going through the steps for uninstalling Flash, and emptying the folders associated with it. Sadly though the problem still remains.
I would love for this long time problem to be resolved!
My system is Windows 7 64-Bit, with an Nvidia Geforce 7600gs.
Please find dxdiag results.

Hi Mikey - Sorry you're running into these crashes. It's odd that this is occurring with all browsers and Flash content. There must be something specific about your system that is causing this to happen. We'd like to investigate further. Would you be willing to create a new bug report and attach both your dxdiag report and any crash dumps that you can generate? Please see this FAQ for additional details and steps.
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?

Flash Player crashes in all browsers

I have IE 8, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 6.0 on my laptop. I have the latest version of Flash on all three. All of of a sudden, the Flash Player plugin will crash and the browser will lock up any time I open a page that uses Flash. What could be doing this?

Here are the files in the Flash folder:
Flash Player Trust
Flash10k.ocx
FlashInstall
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX
NPSWF32.dll
Version is 10.1.85.3

Hi, thanks. I think we need to take a look at the Flash files.
Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed. You will need to right click on the NPSWF files and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.
Thanks,

Flash player hanging up and crashing on all web browsers. Problem turned out to be AMD drivers

I have been having a problem running Flash Player, green screens, hang ups, crashes etc on my machine. I tried various solutions and every major and some not so major web browsers all to no avail. I tried reinstalling my windows 8.1 no good also tried running 8 and 7 all 64 versions. No go I came a cross a post about a problem with Flash and AMD that seems to recur every nown and then. I have a AMD HD 6670 1 gig GDDR5 PCI-E 2 card so I tried going back through AMD drivers untill I was able to get it to function properly. Finally I ended up using the driver from Dec 2013 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql along with the AMD Media Codec Package from Aug 2012 12-8_vista_win7_win8_32-64_xcode Flash is now playing with no problems. I thought I would share the solution I used in case it might help others.

I haven't run across this, though I did see a Firefox fileupload bug yesterday (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2980517). Would you mind opening a new bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include URLs where you're seeing this behavior and we'll investigate further.

Adobe Flash Player crashes in all browsers

Hi,
I have had issues with playing videos before. They would constantly freeze (while the sound continued), it was like I was watching stop motion videos all the time. This was a recent problem that started happening within the last month or so. I got really fed up with it so I looked for a fix for it on google. The result of that search was: I was told the videos might be freezing so often because of the fact that I had two adobe flash players in operation on google chrome. I was told I had to try turning one off in order to get the player to work properly. I turned off one then the other and then both to no avail.
BUT
then the flash player refused to work on ANY video. I figured it might just be Chrome but it happened in Firefox too. (I'm afraid to update internet explorer because I don't want it to not work there). I keep getting the "shockwave player crashed" error message in Chrome and the equivalent in Firefox. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling adobe but that did nothing.
My operating system is Windows Vista 32bit, I used both Firefox and Chrome web browsers both with the latest versions, I have the latest version of the adobe flash player.
At this point in time I can't get any site that runs on Adobe flash player to work and no videos that run on adobe flash player work. My problem is officially a whole lot worse.
HELP!!!!!!!!

I'm having the exact same problem.
Until today, I haven't had any problems with flash, and then, this morning, I turned on my computer, went to youtube.com and the page almost immediately froze. A message popped up saying that flash had become unresponsive and asked if I wanted to close it.
It does this on any website that tries to load flash content. I've tried both Chrome and IE. I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Compaq Presario CQ5300Y PC.
Everything is completely up to date.
UPDATE:
Last night I ran a virus scan. 3 viruses were found so I quarantined them. I turned off my computer for a couple of minutes and when I turned it back on, everything had been fixed. Not only is flash working again, a problem I was having with Skype is also fixed. So if anyone else is having this problem you might want to do a virus scan.

Flash player crashing in all browsers for live video

The Flash video player is crashing all browsers when I try to watch live video (specifically, live feeds out of Egypt, notably Al Jazeera's live feed).
I'm on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.6, using Safari, Firefox and Chrome browsers. In Chrome, I can hear audio for about 60 seconds - no video - and then it crashes. Safari & Firefox crash almost immediately. They all give me various messages about Flash crashing the browser.
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, then re-installed it, rebooted my laptop, etc. I checked all the player settings, and they're apparently set as they should be.
Any ideas?

The same thing is happening to me in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I cleared my cache, deleted my flash cookies, and reinstalled Flash. None of those worked to bring it back. It was working on a PC running XP yesterday.

Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes in all browsers for site (bug?)

Hello,
I just received a complaint by one of my clients that customers were no longer able to visit his site (using a Mac), as the flash player was crashing everytime the site was loaded, no matter what browser was used. I started investigating this using the latest flash-player installed (v11.1.102.64) and it seems that their is a new restriction present, a flash-movie can not be higher then +/- 4090pixels (I've been testing this while updating the code) on a Mac. When I visit the same site on Windows (flash player v11.1.102.64) it never crashes and shows the full height of the site 5276px, no matter what browser I use.
I believe this must be some bug, as the browsers I tested are the same and I can't remember havind this problem with previous versions of flash (as I would have noticed this). Could someone confirm me if this could be a bug, and it should actually be submitted somehow? Or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to investigate this for you. Do you have a URL I can try this out on?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player Crashing in ALL Browsers

Flash plugin crashing on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This has been happening for months now. It's been fixed a few times, but it keeps happening again. Unable to watch YouTube videos on all broswers.
I have a PC (laptop) with Windows 7 (64-bit, I think). On Chrome I have version 10,2,154,18 installed. On Firefox: version 10,2,152,32 installed. On Internet Explorer: version 10,2,152,32 installed.
I work from home, so it's imperative that I not have this problem. Especially since it often interferes with Google Talk/Gmail Chat.
Thank you!

Hi, Since it's happening on all browsers, then there must be a common conflict. Have you tried turning off the hardware acceleration? go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.
If that doesn't solve it, you may need to update your video card driver also.
At that same site linked to above, can you see the Flash logo animation? With all browsers?
Thanks,

Flash player crashing on all browsers

I have uninstalled and re installed flash player and this issue is still there. I can watch Youtube videos fine with no issue. But when I try to stream a movie or tv show from another site outside of youtube, it plays the video for a couple minutes and then crashes. Has been happening for a while now and can't find any way to fix it. If someone can help with a solution, thank you.

Flash player works on all other browsers besides Safari (6.1). OS is still mountain lion, any suggestions?

Ever since I updated to Safari 6.1, nothing using flash works. It is up to date and will work on all other web browsers.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Now try a video.

I have the latest version of the flash player installed, but all web sites can mot detect it.

Why is Adobe Flash Player not detected on my computer when I clearly have downloaded, installed and enabled it??

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

My iPad Air crashes on all web browsers making it useless for work

My iPad Air crashes alot which is only a problem when filling in forms or working on it , my dads iPhone 6 does the same thing. Are apple products no good any more or is there a way to fix it?! I've tried google chrome and opera and they crash n lose the work too. Basically useless as a work tool

I just cancelled my Iphone 6 order (it wasn't getting here anytime soon anyway) because it is using IOS 8. I wouldn't go near that operating system if you begged me. I used to love Apple products. They absolutely are no good since I upgraded to IOS 8 from 7. What a mistake. My Ipad has crashed 4 times, and after restoring to new, it crashes again. I have lost money on upgrades to apps, or add ons to apps and have finally decided to go to a Windows system. I can always add ipadian to the windows system to use my apple apps. I better not upgrade my apple imac or something terrible might happen. Sorry Apple but I had one of the first Apple IIe's way back in the 80's but you lost me for good, because you are ignoring everyone with this - "it is a hardware problem", no sir it is not. Turn on WiFi and there it goes again, crashed.

Adobe Flash player crashes constantly

Adobe Flash player crashes in all browsers. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, expanding memory storage, downloading older versions etc, etc. I have tried IE10, Firefox 17, Chrome, Avant, and Safari, all with the same issues. I am running an I3 processor at 2.93ghz on an ASUS motherboard, 16gig of RAM, 2gig NVidia graphics card. Any ideas?
Sorry should add that I'm running Windows 8 Pro

Usually a complete fresh install resolves this.
Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as"
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to dwonload the ActiveX installer.

Flash player crashing my computer.

I am running 64 bit windows 7 and am trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228. After installing, my computer will run for upwards of 20 minutes before it either freezes or I get the blue memory dump screen and I have to power it down. Only uninstalling stops this from happening. I am using Firefox 11. Please help.

Okay. I managed to finally get both 64 bit versions installed. (edit) - It still crashes, but now ESET does not notify me about any update checking; it just plainly freezes. -
First I attempted to install the Windows 7 Service Pack 1, but I have a different issue with that which I won't go into much detail about, but it was a failed attempt. I thought about it for a bit, and decided to install IE9, so I downloaded the .exe from Microsoft and attempted to install it, but I got a BSOD.
I went into safe mode with networking, went to the programs list in the control panel, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash Player. I then installed IE9 through their website download. I restarted and again booted in safe mode with networking to install the 64 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer). Installation was just fine for that, so I rebooted in safe mode with networking again just to be safe to install the 64 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) and all was well. I booted up my computer normally and checked youtube videos on both IE9 and Firefox, and all is well.
On the reinstall I chose the option to notify me before installing any updates.
EDIT: After this recent freeze, I'll be continuing to install Windows 7 updates through safe mode.

What are the possible reasons for adobe flash player crashing constantly?

I utilize mixcloud, soundcloud,and podomatic on a daily basis, and recently have been having problems getting these three to play. I'm not certain if there is a clash between the various plug-ins within my mozilla firefox browser. The error messages that I have been receiving sometimes acknowledge the problem as a adobe flash player error, a shockwave flash player error, and sometimes as a flash blocker being enable in my browser, which keeps me from receiving any audio playback and the music from downloading onto the page. I'm constantly being asked to reload the page, or request a crash report. Has anyone encounter this problem? Help!

Uninstall BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave using the Control panel.
Reinstall both using Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
and http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Reboot
In Firefox, click Tools>Addons
Check to be sure BOTH plugins are enabled and the LATEST version

Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
