Flash player locking up PC (total freeze)

My PC started locking up (total freeze) since I updated my Flash player to the latest version, no mouse, no keyboard, requires hard reboot everytime. I uninstalled it and now everything is ok now, please fix it, becouse I really need it for navigation.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64bits, on a ASUS K45A, Core i5, 8GB RAM, Intel graphic 4000 video board.
Browser: FireFox.

I just downloaded GFX_Win8_Win7_64_9.18.10.3131_PV now to see if something changes, Just installed the Flashplayer plugin again and tested to make sure if my system would freeze again, and after 10 minutes it happened again.
Just uninstalled it after another hard reboot, and everything is good again.
What could be happening? I noticed that nothing happens if I use google Chrome, I don't know about I.E, haven't tryed it, and I'll never do (I'm not that desperate).

OS X 10.8.4 Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1

Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1, Flash is ok in Chrome.
I go to Youtube and play a video in Firefox and the image is scrabbled; pixelated shows a lot of green and screws up the whole system, if I use chrome flash is fine. The Firefox version is 12.0.0.44, I have tried earlier versions but I get the same result.
This is most annoying because Firefox is my main browser.

Chrome has ha separate plug-in from Firefox. Functions independently of it. Green screen (in Windows) is almost always caused by out dated or corrupted video drivers. Not something common to Macs since the hardware is proprietary, and the Drivers are in the BSD subsystem.
Gotta ask, how come you haven't run the 10.8.5 update? It came out October 14.

Flash player locks up web browsers

I'm having problems with Flash Player locking up my web browser. Any time I play a flash movie to make the browser crash (not responding). I've tried IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome all with the same results. Here are the specs:
ATI Mobile Radeon driver version 8.632.0.0
Flash version 10.153.64
Windows 7 HP 64bit
4GB Ram
Dual Core AMD
Please help!

currently flash is not available in 64bit.
32 bit version can still run on 32 bit browsers. (It doesn't work on 64 bit IE)
Is it a specific swf which is crashing or any of the flash content?

Flash player video streaming starts then freezes

I can't play videos in IE9 or Chrome without it freezeing during playback. It will load 30 -60 seconds of video then it stops. I have tried reloading and adjusting all settings. I have disabled my Virus Software and tried other steps but none of them work. I have a fast internet connection and downloads of other natures work very well. Only my flash player files are affected. I really don't know what to try next. I am not getting any error messages. Any suggestions?

It is affected by all adobe flash sites I have visited. Pilotonline.com; wavy.com; cox.net; youtube just to name a few. On the cox site it affected the internet speed test which is flash based. Starts fast the stops in the middle just like the videos.

Flash player locks up IE on new Windows 7 (64) Image deployed by SCCM

I created a new Windows 7 Image and deployed it by using SCCM.
When in Windows 7 Audit mode I install the latest version of flash player and all the other apps we use.
After the image is done and deployed you can log in as administrator and everything seems great at first.
The problem is when you create an additional local account on the machine OR join it to a domain any additional profiles can't use IE.
We have traced it to flash player. IE just freezes and hangs for about 3-5 mins on any flash player website.
The only work around is we reinstall flash player afterwards. At that point Flash is fixed and works fine for anyone logged in.
It's gotten to the point when I might have to exclude flash from my image and just install it later when a computer is deployed.
IE version doesn't matter, it has the same response with IE8 or 9
Any ideas?

Flash Player locks up FireFox and IE6

When I go to
http://www.scifi.com/superhero,
my browser locks up. I have flash player 9 installed, and there is
a movie of some sort that tries to load, but it just locks up my
browser (IE6 AND FireFox) to the point where I have to kill it.
I have FlexBuilder2 installed on my machine as well, if that
makes any difference.

I also try to go to this site and nothing plays:

Flash Player locks up PC

I've had a problem with Flash Player for a little while now, it completely locks up my PC when watching video from certain sites (especially http://www.tetesaclaques.tv/ ). The audio becomes a horrendous scratching / hissing noise and I have to hard reboot the PC. My specs are:
ASUS P7P55D PRO motherboard
Intel Core i7 860 2.8 GHz processor
4 GB Patriot 1600 MHz RAM
ATI Radeon 5870
OCZ Summit 120 GB SSD
I'm positive it's not an overheating issue as I can play high-end games no problem (for much longer than a simple 5-minute Flash video). Any ideas what could be causing these massive system crashes?
Today I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and installed all the latest drivers, but still the same problem occurs.

Hi, ok so that is where it is. Evidently this is new for Win7? Ok well your IE files are correct. I cannot tell from the FF files,
since they don't give a vs. number. Can you go back and right click on the NPSWF32.dll and the NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
then properties to confirm that vs. 10.0.45.2 is installed?
Also using IE, go to manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object ActiveX Control.. Flash10e.ocx should be listed and check that it is enabled. If any other vs is listed, I need to know. (The Flash10e.ocx is the vs 10.0.45.2)
Using FF, check plug-ins for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and that needs to be enabled also.
I am assuming that you Rebooted after the install of FP in IE and FF?
After that, please check in Programs & Features and post back all listings of Java. If any are there other than JRE 6 update 18, they need Removed and then Reboot and I'll give you instructions for the Java install.
Thanks,

Flash Player locks up browser

I'm using Flash Player 11.1.102.55, Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), ATI Video Card in a Lenovo Desktop.
I've tried Flash Player with IE9, Chrome, and firefox.
It will work when on Adobe's site (the flash player shown after install).
On other sites (like youtube, etc.) I get a green screen and it locks up the browser (no matter which browser).
I'm running the latest ATI driver, Latest Flash Player Version, latest Firmware on the PC.
I have hardware acceleration in flash player turned OFF.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. I've googled and can really only find to turn off acceleration (which I've tried/done). No other video issues, just with flash.

The latest driver from Microsoft Update, or from the AMD download site? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
Green screen is usually an indication for some incompatibility with the graphics driver, although turning Hardware Acceleration off should prevent that from happening.

Flash Player latest with MySpace totally inoperable

Latest ordinary uses of all full suggetsions and directions for both
Microsoft Internet Explorer 10

latest Flash player from Adobe and all its updates and suggestions and changes and checks
still
nothing appears working in the ordinary
music player section of MySpace
when logged in to (called "classic")
www.myspace.com
with their own music and files
no matter what I tried.
MySpace at its site that I own the account in
displays the automatic up to date settings I have with

and only suggetss that perhaps I need to update
or refresh or reload
and as they have no direct support/ help assistance from living people
I attempted reinstalling and reactivating all elements of Adobe Flash player
and tried all their suggestions on the official website all to no avail.

Sadly doing that did not fix my problem either. I just tried doing that and uninstalling flash player, rebooting and then reinstalling flash and I am still having the same problem as I stated here. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4014843#4014843
I have checked that flash is enabled
Unchecked hardware accerleration
Set in the internet options to use software rendering
Tried updating my drivers (it tells me my drivers are up to date, in any case I have only had this laptop since July)
I even tried deleting cookies, though I use IE9 instead of firefox so I just deleted them all instead of just the one for youtube, I honestly can not find the folder for cookies anyway with this windows 7 and how it is set up to try and delete the one cookie.
I am really at a loss as to what to do.

Flash Player 11.5.502.110 freezes at 95% on OSX 10.8.2

Have tried installing Flash v. 11.5.502.110 numerous times on my Macbook Pro and each time it freezes at 95% and nothing. I have let it sit for over 8 hours and it is still stuck at 95%. I have used the flash manager to remove all instances of flash, completely disabled all anti-virus to no avail.
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same issue, no clues yet. I'm afraid I'll just have to do as suggested by Firefox's plugin check page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) and disable Flash until Adobe sorts it out.

Flash Player locks up Safari

I've read many of the posts on this forum about problems with Safari and I have a similar but I think, slightly different problem that none of the proposed solutions will resolve.
The problem is that safari goes into "not responding" mode whenever I access a page with flash content. If I uninstall Flash and run safari everything is fine, without the flash content of course. I've tried re-installing flash and get the same problem. I've done all the following steps as described elsewhere:
1. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
2. Go to ~/Library and look for a folder named InputManagers. If you have one, remove everything in that folder; if not, there's nothing to worry about for that.
3. Go to ~/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the entire contents of that folder.
4. Go to ~/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you find there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
• Form Values
I've also tried setting up a new user account and have the same results in that account. Lastly, I ran the repair permissions disk utility.
I'm stumped on how to fix this any ideas?
Thanks

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,

Firefox 19 freezes after downloading adobe flash player 11.6

firefox said it deactivated my flash player for my "safety" and that i had to get the newer flash player version. i installed flash player 11.6 but went onto a website that used the flash player but my whole computer freezes!!! i checked with other websites and the same thing happened. i reinstalled an old version of adobe flash player and firefox deactivates it, saying that i need to install the newer version!!!
my os: windows vista 32-bit
flash player now: adobe flasher player 10.3
HELP!!

See [http://mzl.la/LIoF7y Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again] - Solution 2 Downgrade to Flash 10.3.
I uninstalled Flash Player and Flash Plugin using Windows Control Panel (Programs and Features) then installed Flash Player 10.3.

Flash Player is freezing at Ie8...

firefox works fine but at İe8 I use the latest flash player but it freezes all time, I tried at another computer (at ie)it works fine but an update comes and I updated flash player and it starts to freeze how can I solve this problem, can I use older plug-ins for flash player, I also tried archieved ones older flash players but they didn't work...

Hi, thanks. On your XP/SP3 with IE8: Using IE, find your Manage add ons (All add ons) and look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx. This is the Flash Player version 10.0.45.2. Make sure it is enabled.
On this same computer, use Firefox and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is enabled.
If this is the only website that you are having problems with and the above information is correct, then it could be the website has not updated. However, since Flash Player updated with this version in February, 2010, and the website has not updated by now it is hard to tell if or when they will.
You could contact them and ask them if their site supports Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 and see if you receive an answer.
Let me know about the above.
Thanks,
eidnolb
