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.

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?

Activation Flash Player with AVANT Browser

Hello, can you help me for this question, please : I can't activate Flash Player with AVANT Browser.

Avant has a built in Flash blocker. You may have to disable it. Since it uses three different engines, you'll probably need to have BOTH plug-ins:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
And I'd follow the steps for IE:

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
Steps taken:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
Deleted provided directory in instructions
"Copy and paste the following and click OK.
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Delete all the files in this folder."
Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
Re launched company website and received same error.
Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser. Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

I'm sorry you're encountering this. Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
Thanks,
Chris

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).

How do I block the auto start of Flash Player on my browser?

When I open a web page with my browser (e.g. www.adobe.com on FireFox) , a flash player autimaticaly starts and plays some add.
How can I block it?
Idealy I would have a button or something, letting me choose whether I want to see this flash or not?
Is it possible that Adobe Player does not support this simple task? Or is it a Browser settings?
Please advice

Andrew, i hope you receive this cuz i can't figure out how to thank you on
the forum. Thank you!! it worked beautifully. Your help is much appreciated.

Flash player crashes my browser and WiFi connection!

Earlier this month, I had to perform a factory reset of my Dell laptop--erase the hard drive, reinstall the original Windows 8 OS, then re-update to Windows 8.1 and reinstall ALL my apps--because of a malware infection. The computer would go to the BSOD ("blue screen of death") shortly after booting up. The last thing I remember doing before this started? Installing an update to Adobe Flash Player! Even before this virus hit me, I was experiencing problems with my WiFi connection. Webpages would suddenly stop loading, and it would only work again after I reset my connection, even though the router was in the next room. I noticed (curiously enough) that I didn't seem to have this problem after I did the factory reset and reinstalled every app except for Adobe Flash. The WiFi connection worked perfectly. Then, on April 17, I visited a website (ESPN, I think), that needed Adobe Flash to play video. So, with a good deal of trepidation, I went ahead and reinstalled Flash. From that point on, I started having the same WiFi problem as before, only WORSE. As soon as I started to stream video (and even sometimes audio), not only would the video stream suddenly stop playing or buffering, but I couldn't even refresh the page because my WiFi connection had to be reset! So tonight, I uninstalled Flash Player, and voila, everything seems to be working perfectly again. From my experience, Flash Player is buggy, untrustworthy, and incompatible with the other software on my machine. I'll be shopping soon for a competitor!

Some more info: My computer is a 64-bit Dell Inspiron 15 with a dual-core i3 processor; my favorite browser is Firefox, and I think I was running Flash 11.1 (it was a 32-bit Flash Player, so it might be I just need a 64-bit player, if that's available). Let me know what you think...

Flash player and kaspersky browser add-ons

Hallo,
I use Internet Explorer 9 (32 bit) on windows 7 (64 bit) with Adobe flash player (version 11,5,502,135 installed) and also the following kaspersky browser add-ons from software "kaspersky internet security 2013":
Name Content Blocker Plugin
Name Virtual Keyboard Plugin
Name Safe Money Plugin
Name URL Advisor Plugin
Name Links untersuchen
Some time - once per month - I like to go to cinema and therefor I use cineplex online ticket booking system, which is based on adobe flash player. But ever I want to reserve online a cinema ticket, I got an error message in browser from some add-on, probable from flash player add-on "Shockwave Flash Object" by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and cannot use the web page to reserve a ticket in online ticket system of CINEPLEX: https://booking.cineplex.de/TicketBoxXNGFrontend/booking_ng.jsp?perf_i d=1E871000023VYZJHTG&site_id=31 The web page from booking.cineplex is since many years the same, but flash player is often updated and kaspersky lab add-ons are very young.
Could anybody confirm problems between flash player add-on and the kaspersky lab add-ons, because if I deactivate all kaspersky add-ons, there are no problems to use the webpage from CINEPLEX and their online ticket system based on flash player. Support of Kaspersky Lab denies any problems with their software regarding this issue, but I don't believe, that they had tested it with the booking.cineplex site.
Regards
hfreiwald

Hi Chris,
thank your for the hint. But this site is already on whitelist in all moduls of kaspersky. I assume the error comes not from possible blocking content of the web site, but from blocking something functions from flash player "Shockwave Flash Object" add-on, but I could not exactly determine this. Because this problem is difficulty to delimit, I use IE 9 only without Kaspersky add-ons, otherwise I get angry each time, if the access to cinema portal site does not work.
Perhaps someone else has an idea.

Amazingly my Chrome browser is not being affected.
Please help out, thanks.

Thanks for sending the Crash report. If you wouldn't mind, we'd like to get more information from you. This FAQ details the info we'll need:

SWF works great in flash, not in Flash player or web Browser

I am a flash neophyte and I am struggling with a strange problem. I have numerous swf files which work except one that is rather complex. When I debug the FLA of this problem file in flash CS4, it works fine. When I publish the FLA and open the subsequent SWF in Flash, it works fine. I open the same file in Flash Player or when I open it on a browser, the screen is white and nothing happens. When a right click on the browser frame and it offers me all the possibilities of a fully loaded movie, except that there is just a blank screen
The file is online at (if you can open it) and i have attached the swf and swd to this post
http://pmworld.jp10000.com/00024.swf
Any ideas are very welcome.

i think i figured it out... i have instances of the
flvplayback component, and their autoplay was auto set to true. i
got so caught up in the actionscript side i forgot about the
component settings. even though my actionscript told them to stop i
guess the flv would load after the code and play anyways. but
locally it would work because the flvs would load instantly.

Hi,
Download and install ActiveX if you use Internet Explorer.
You need to install plug-in if you use Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
The following link has step-by-step information: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_heading_5
Also, after installing ActiveX, ensure that you disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer. See the following link for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

Hooray for adobe 64 bit browser add on support, maybe adobe reader and shockwave player will be up next,,,

Further,,,,,,,,,,Adobe personnel has to besides set up server time and bandwith, they have to make a setup.exe file, zip file, digital certificates for the downloads for the adobe 64 bit flash player browsers add on( more than one browser) Firefox 4 has 64 bit browser and is being worked on, they also need to chat with 3rd party person to get permission, authorizations, ect as there software is copyrighted ,also,,,,,, a meeting of the minds so as to speak, and a legal document generated as to agreement,,,there is much more of course........Like beta testing,ect,, we do want it debugged and secure.Microsoft and others need to get supportive about this and get there end straightened out,, they get paid enough, if Microsoft needs help in this area,, I can point them in the right direction where code programmers are trained and chuse microsoft as employer, not oracle or the State of Washington.
                                                                 Cheers, Y'all

Flash Player in AOL Browser

Hi Adobe people,
Since I updated to Windows 8.1 can not open any videos in my AOL browser. (9.6 Desktop)
Everything works fine, except anything that has to do with videos. They work fine in my XP computer. They worked fine in Windows 8. I copied a video link from AOL to IE in this same laptop, and it worked fine in it.
When I click a video, it starts to open. At the same time the home page opens behind the video page. When that happens, both pages start going back and forth producing the shacking that does not allow the video to show. If I click the homepage out, it goes off, but the video keeps going as if it was working, but still flashing back and forth until the whole video goes through in its entirety, albeit unseen.
While on the AOL browser, I was trying to open a sitting chart from a known venue . The page would open, but splashed right on the middle of the page was a big message covering all of the sitting chart. This message said, I needed to update my flash player. Where ever I go for help, I am told the same thing
I have the latest player version available. I checked what I have against the newest version available, and they are the same. Problem is that it that the version is for Windows 8 and I have Windows 8.1. I can not find any version for Windows 8.1 anywhere. I also looked at my Add Ons, and Shockwave Flash Object is there, and it is Enabled.
How can I get a Player version to work in my AOL Browser?
Thanks

Thanks Pat.
I never had to deal with this issue before, so I am not sure if AOL uses the Player's Activex or Plugin. I actually think that their Player works in collaboration with the one in IE. It looks to me that after I updated to Windows 8.1, the AOL software didn't change any thing to keep up with it..
I did do a manual download, though, after that site in AOL told me I had to. Then I found out I wouldn't have had to, because it seems that IE 11 comes with the proper player version already installed. But the download I did was for Windows 8, I could not find one for Windows 8.1 anywhere, Could you tell me where to find one?
I am not sure, if I downloaded a Plugin or Activex. I really don't understand these things. I will have to look that up. If I decide to download again, should I first uninstall the Flash Player that is in my computer now?
I have thought about the 9.7 update, but I am waiting and see if I can resolve this without having to do that.
I use:
WINDOWS 8.1
IE 11
FLASH PLAYER 13.0.0.214 (this is for Windows 8, there is no Windows 8.1 on the lists of versions)
Thanks
