Flash Player Freezes on Online Games

I'm not entirely sure if this is an adobe flash player problem, but I think it is...possibly.
We just upgraded our computers to Windows 7 32 bit. We work with kids so they like to play a lot of those
online free games, like those on gamefudge or addictinggames. Every since the change, many of the games no
longer work. They'll load, and possibly play for a screen or two, and then just stop working at the same spots
every time. Just the player freezes, the browser still works fine. I've tried I.E. 8, Firefox, and Chrome, and
the same thing happens on all of them. The only common thread I could find is that they are all running in
flash player.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi, Sometimes with a major upgrade some glitch can occur. Have you Uninstalled and Installed Flash Player version 10 since the Win7/IE8 upgrade?
Did you have version 10 on prior to the Win7 upgrade?
What browsers do you now have installed, all that you tried? Keep in mind IE8 comes with Win7.
Thanks,

Flash Player Freezing on PC

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with their
Flash Player freezing up since the upgrade? Anytime I try to go to
an online video, music video or show it bounces back and forth
between buffering and restarting the video even though it hasn't
played all of the way. I did not have this problem until I upgraded
to the current version for my PC. Any suggestions or patches that
anyone knows about? I have tried uninstalling, running the
uninstaller and reinstalling and nothing seems to help. Thanks in
advance!

What is your operating system and version?
What is your Firefox version?
What is your Flash Player version?

Flash Player Freezes While Buffering Then Won't Proceed Even After Computer Restart

I am having frequent problems with Flash Player freezing while watching Korean dramas hosted online (http://www.mysoju.com/empress-chun-chu/). Flash Player freezes while viewing file and then won't proceed past that point even if I close all browser windows and even if I restart my computer. Sometimes I can get around this by saving the file to my hard drive using Real Player "download this video" button. However, the download often freezes at what appears to be the same point as the freeze in the streaming Flash Player. Even if I delete this partial file from my hard drive, repeated efforts to download the file again result in instantaneous file completed messages with a new incomplete (partial) file of exactly the same size as before. I can't find where Flash Player or MS Windows Vista is storing the partial download files. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.
It appears these Flash Player freezes may be causing or resulting from DSL modem or wireless router connection problems that result in the internet light on the DSL modem not being lit. These problems seem limited to web browser pages with flash player.

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message.

I need to use Adobe Flash PLayer for an online conference. I get a pop-up blocked message. I have already unblocked pop-ups as far as I can see.
Maybe I'm missing something?

After installing Flash, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

Adobe flash player freezes constantly

hi,
my flash player has been constantly freezes whenever i start using it. Sometimes it freeze after 20 mins, sometimes an hour or so. I have tried FAQ already and tried google chrome, firefox and IE but all of them freezes when it comes to flash player.
OS Name
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
System Type
x64-based PC
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
P.S flash player is most updated version.
Your Flash Version
16.0.0.305
Would be great if you could help me out.
Many thanks!

This is what I wrote at another post:
I too have experienced this problem and was hoping to find help here. Another person has experienced a very similar problem, but without response here: Adobe flash player freezes constantly
This all started when I updated to version 16.0.0.305. When I downgrade to version 16.0.0.296, the problem is resolved. However 16.0.0.305 is a bug fix that patches a critical zero day exploit, so I do not want to stick with it for very long.
I hope this is a known issue and Adobe will be releasing a patch for it soon.

Perhaps it helps you. FWIW, here is the other thread: Re: Flash player crashes continuously in Firefox--tried everything

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.

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 freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).
Linux AMD video driver : Catalyst v14.4 (amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip)

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,

Do you know what format the videos are, did you convert the videos or just copied them?
I recommend you first try just sending them over BT or through USB (through a PC)
DON'T use PC suite as this may convert the videos and that may be causing the problem.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Flash Player Freezing and Crashing Internet explorer and Google Chrome

Hello,
I have a dell xps 16 running on i7, windows 7 home premium 64 bit, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd. For at least a year i have been having problems viewing sites that use flash player such as youtube, and facebook. I orginally thought my anti virus was the problem because when ever I uninstalled it the flash began to work. I switched anti-virus programs about 3 times go from mcafee to kaspersky to avg 9.0 full...and it still would freeze up on me. Now it has been 2 weeks since I uninstalled avg 9.0 and now it has started freezing up my internet explorer and chrome when ever i go to youtube or facebook. Also for some strange reasion it also is making some of my programs like pinnacle studios 14, itunes, and window media player unresponsive. Currently I have taken flash out of my computer. And i have to use my ipad to view youtube videos..but i still can not view flash. I have heard this has happended to many people on mulitple o.s. , Please help. I have tried reinstalling it and it says that instalation failed evertime. Ive also tried reinstalling my os with no success. I ve tried reseting my browsers and reinstalling them....no success.

Hi a, I wonder what happened since it was working on 7/21/10. Then after you Installed AVG9 you started having problems, even after disabling the AVG add ons, etc.
You have had this freezing issue for awhile and I don't know what is causing it, although cleaning up McAfee certainly helped and the Re-Install of Flash Player.
I think the first thing you should do is go to the Kaspersky website and find out if there is an Uninstaller to use and use it if there is. Then I would go to AVG 9 and do the same. Then Reboot after using each one. That way you will have had a Clean Uninstall of both of them.
Then go to Microsoft and Install Windows Defender. That way you would have some protection and that along with the Windows Firewall will help until we see what is causing this freezing and then you can Install AVG again.
Also these: Dellweb cam central, informational alerts, dell data safe online, oovoo, fastaccess.. I wonder if any or a combination are conflicting. Have you had these for sometime or were any added about the time you started having issues? I am not familiar with them, but if they are in your system tray, I would guess they use Flash? I would try to disable them all at once, try your websites, especially youtube. If you have no problem, enable only one of those and test youtube again. Then enable another one and so on and if any are conflicting, you will be able to find the one.
Thanks

Flash Player freezing my Mac pro 2009

Hi all, has anyone been experiencing a complete freeze of their Mac pros after using Safari or FireFox for a few days?
I have a early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz Quad Core which Im running Maverick 10.9.4 and the latest Flash Player update but still after a few days using safari and Firefox
my Mac freezes completely and I have to do hard reboot. According to Adobe the last Flash update was to solve this problem with earlier Macs.
Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Adobe flash player freezes windows 7 Pro 64 bit

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/784568]''
When I watch videos the flash player will freeze and I have to use the task manager to close the video and any other page that may be open. I am using windows 7 Pro 64 bit. This happens quite often

I have the same problem. Firefox 3 and 4 randomly freezes when watching videos on youtube. I work on many computers and this problem only on my laptop HP ProBook.
Reinstalling the operating system did not solve the problem. OS: Windows 7 Professional x64 Czech language. I use the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player. Thank you for your help.

Flash player freezes in Firefox

Flash player is causing Firefox to freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I access a website which uses flash.
I am using the latest version of Firefox (v19.0.2) and the latest version of Adobe Flash (v11.6.602.171). This same problem has existing for at least the last 5 versions released by Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. My OS is Win7 64-bit.
I am 100% certain that flash is the source of the Firefox freezing problem because I can cause the Firefox freezing to stop and start again by disabling and enabling the Adobe Flash plugin. In order for me to make Firefox usable, I always disable the Adobe Flash plugin.
I have read on the web that many other Firefox users in the Win7 environment have the same problem that Firefox freezes when Adobe Flash is installed and enabled. There are many reports that the freezing in Firefox can be solved by disabling protected mode in Adobe Flash.
Unfortunately, the method available for disabling protected mode will not work for myself or anyone else that works on computers issued and supported by my Fortune 500 company. The method of adding a line to the mms.cfg file requires users to have admin rights to editing files in the \windows\system32 directory structure. The company I work for has all computers without such admin privileges. Since there is no alternate for disabling protected mode, myself and all 4000 of my colleagues have no options for fixing this freezing problem.
Can you please solve this issue by either 1) working with Firefox so that the browser will no longer freeze when Adobe Flash player is installed, enabled, and protected mode is enabled, or 2) make protected mode a configurable feature that can be enabled or disabled by any user group in Windows Control Panel.
Thanks in advance for you consideration,
jlavie5555

Hi jlavie5555,
I'm sorry you're encountering these pauses. We work very closely with Mozilla and have been hard at work trying to solve all related protected mode issues since this security feature was released. We do have a few additional troubleshooting steps you might want to consider taking (in addition to disabling protected mode.) Please see this faq for details:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
We also have a new 11.7 beta available that contains significant changes to improve protected mode. I suspect you might be blocked from installing it, but if this option is available to you I would recommend giving it a try.
3/7/2013 - Flash Player 11.7 Beta
Thanks,
Chris
