Flash Player Crashes In Internet Explorer 8&9 While Playing HD YouTube Video

Has anyone else came across this issue? While on YouTube if you try to play a video in HD, it'll play for a second and then crash. This only happens in Internet Explorer. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have tried many things and this is driving me crazy! Thanks in advence for the input.

So after 4 grueling hours of troubleshooting and trying different fixes, we finally solved the issue. Turns out that we were testing an HD YouTube video just to make sure that Flash Player was functioning without any speakers or headphones plugged in. For some reason when there is no audio device plugged in, the YouTube video starts to play regularly and the reverts to HD. As soon as it changes to HD, it'll crash. Simple as that. So, lesson learned and some advice. Always plug in an audio device. At first when I figured this out, I felt stupid. I then realized that it shouldn't matter if speakers are plugged in or not. A YouTube video should play no matter what if Flash is installed. Anyway, this issue was resolved. Thanks for the input everyone.

  • Flash Player Crashing on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10 when my computer told me about the new update about two-three weeks ago. It seems like ever since then it has crashed every two hours or so and then my computer has had this problem where the script disapears from both internet engines and the computer icons disapear and it shuts down like it would in a computer from the 1990s (as in instead of the blue screen saying "windows shutting down" it has that little grey bar that says "winodws shutting down").
    Whenever I restart it it is fine then another two hours pass by with me using a website like Youtube and the same thing happens. I have tried undownloading it and redownloading it but the same thing keeps happening.
    I'm not sure if there is a bug on it or not or if it is my own comp but it seems like whenever I use something that needs flash player for more than two hours the computer goes crazy.
    If it helps I am using a Microsoft Windows XP Intel Celeron processor 540 and it is about 4 years old now and everything is up to date on my add ons for firefox and internet explorer and I scanned for viruses and spyware and everything is clean.

    Hi, I don't think Pat will mind if I pop in with how to turn off the hardware acceleration:-) I'll let him handle the driver issues.
    Go to youtube and as soon as the video starts, right click on it and click on Settings and you should see a Display Setting; UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
    Hope that helps part of the possible problem.

  • Cannot install flash player due to internet explorer

    I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10. I have disabled activeX filtering, made sure scripting was enabled, and temporarily shut off my antivirus software as instructed by Adobe website. None of these things have fixed my problem. I try to download the flash player and in the middle of downloading it says to close internet explorer. I close all open windows of IE and push continue. It keeps telling me to shut down internet explorer even though it is not open. Please help. Thanks!

  • Is Adobe Flash Player compatible with Internet Explorer 10?

    Ever since I upgraded to I.E.10, Flash Player 11. has not been working at all.  I am constantly reminded to get Flash Player (already in my system!) in order to see a video, for example.  Is there a coreection for this?

  • Flash Player freezes in Internet Explorer-

    I received following support case from one of our clients but could not assist them. I appreciate any input and assistance to the issue below…
    We have an application named “TADBEER” which depend on Adobe Flash Player and IE.
    We tested the application with Internet Explorer 9 X64 and Adobe Flash Player 14 but application and Flash Player Freeze.
    Would you please advise if there is a way to increase the memory available for Adobe Flash Player or to check the issue from Flash Player logs.

  • Flash Player 9 + Firefox / Internet Explorer and Proxyserver Settings inside the Browser

    Dear Adobe,
    according to this document from your Website:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy04.html
    which says:
    "When running within a browser, Macromedia Flash Player uses
    the browser's HTTP services to communicate through RTMPT. Since
    browsers also support SSL, why not add in support for secure
    encrypted HTTPS tunneling? That is exactly what Macromedia did. You
    can request an HTTPS tunnel using a third protocol: RTMPS."
    it should be so, that the Flash Player (up to the latest
    release) that for the RTMPT mode the player should use the http
    methods of the browser.
    Using the http methods of the browser means, that it should
    honour also the Proxy Server Settings of the Browser (it doesn't
    matter if that is firefox or internet explorer).
    We tested that with our own application, but it looks like,
    that flash player in rtmtp net connection mode doesn't honour the
    browser settings or using the http browser methods.
    It looks more like that, that it creates a self made tcp
    socket connection to the fms server, which is correct when you are
    not using rtmpt, but according to your documentation, it's not.
    Please advice me, how to reach a FMS via a simple (i.e.
    Squid) Proxy on port (i.e.) 8080 which is being set in the browsers
    settings.
    And I don't think the Flash Player is just for private
    customers who are using the internet without any proxies.
    Thank you very much in advance for your help and your
    answers...
    If you don't want to reveal the secret, please write me via
    my personal email which you can get from my profile.
    Thx,
    Stephan

    up in a debugger and look for a non-MMX code path and see if I can
    patch one to work.
    I thought of "back-reving" to the latest Flash 7 player to
    see if the issue goes away but I have yet to do that.
    Good luck looking for a non-MMX code path hidden upstream of
    the offending MMX instruction.
    Going back to Flash 7 is relatively easy and you will
    suddenly be able to visit places you haven't been in years, but
    there are still some sites that will block you unless you have
    Flash player 8 or 9.
    First use the Adobe uninstaller to clean up which is found
    at .
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
    Then find a copy of :
    flashplayer7r61_winax.exe
    and run it. That will give you the latest Flash 7.

  • Flash Player 9 and Internet Explorer 6

    I am having trouble opening SWF files with Flash Player 9 on my desktop with Internet Explorer 6.  Am i missing something?

    Hi Adele, Have you resolved this issue? Installing the newest Flash Player 10 would probably solve your problem and after that make sure you go into manage add ons and Update Shockwave Flash Object Active X and reboot.
    Post back if you have any questions.

  • Flash Player 11 on Internet Explorer 6 ?

    Hello,
    I cannot install Flash Player 11 in IE6, a big part of our user base are unfortunately still on IE6 and our products targets Flash Player 11.
    What can we do about it without dumbing down our app?
    Thank you in advance

    Please do the following.
    Open IE6, go to Tools and then Manage Add-ons.
    Change the menu dropdown (on the left) to "All Addons", then scroll down to Adobe (if it's there) and then check the version number. The current version is 11.1.102.55 (See screenshot)
    If it's not listed, or if it's a different version, download this uninstaller, but choose to Save it (doesn't matter where). Do not choose "Run". http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
    After you save the file, close IE.
    Run the uninstaller (even if Flash is not listed in Manage Add-ons) and then reboot.
    Next, go to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and when you see the prompt, choose "Run" to install it immediately. Oh, and uncheck any third party installation options like the Google Toolbar / McAfee. You can install those any time.
    Go back to Manage Add-ons and confirm that 11.1.102.55 has been installed.

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 11 and Internet Explorer

    Half way thru installing it stops and tells me to close Internet Explorer to continue.  I close it and it does not continue. Any hints?

    RIght click your Task Bar and open the Task manager. Under Processes, look for iexplore.exe. click it and click "End Process" Click OK and it will be fully closed. I have WIndows 7 and IE absolutely WILL NOT close all the way unless I do this, even several minutes after I close the window.

  • I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos

    Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games.  Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank.  I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download.  I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch.  I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician.  She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved.  I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook.  And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster.  That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
    I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in.  I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer.  I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2.  I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos.  I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
    Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox.  I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem.  Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time?  But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
    I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed.  Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player.  I did have the most recent version.  He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave.  I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate).  Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But I can still play Facebook games.

  • 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.
