Flash Player still crashing my sytem.

I’m using Windows Vista 64-bit, FF 15.0.1, IE 9, Flash player 11.4.402.265, Flash player 11 active X.
The computer still crashes when using flash player after following the instructions on http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
I have done everything that it says and nothing! I have even done the installing/uninstalling with uninstall_flash_player.exe. I need a solution now, please.

Your right Ortho_Fan; dust is a stealthly destroyer of computer equipment and it is always good to do physical routine maintenance. I wouldn't blame techies, I myself am a programmer . I think it is more a problem coming from the marketing department. I've programmed in Flash and adored using it (made pretty good money too). I was very disappointed when Apple started attacking Flash and Adobe (especially since it was Abode's products that kept Apple alive in the early years). But, this year, it seems like somebody in Adobe is intentionally sabotaging Flash.
A lot of people use the internet to view videos (cute cats, training seminars and so much more). I am so disappointed; it has become such a chore to keep watching both the video and my computers temperature and every few seconds (or minutes at the most), pausing it so my computer won't overheat and shutdown. They keep coming out with crash causing releases and blame it on everyone else. They really need to own up to these problems and fix them.
I can't imagine why any company would allow outside developers affect their software in a way that damages users computers. It's suicide and I think it will hasten the downfall of Flash. So sad .

Why is Flash Player still crashing?

I am updated on ALL that need to be updated from my browser (mozilla firefox) to add-ons to Adobe, etc. Why then, when updated new version of Adobe (11.4.402.287) did the crashes increase? And in the last few days or so I can't even click video links (UTube or others) w/o it crashing & it got so bad a few times I actually had to shut comp off b/c the crash froze everything. HELP!

Firefox won't close and always a flashplayer logo in my taskbar - have LATEST everything. Sick of your buggy buggy software, Adobe!!! Since the 1990's been dealing with your arrogant programming strategy of ignoring other software and letting the users just "deal with it". I mourn for MacroMedia and hope for your demise as a company!!
next stop, TWITTER TWITTER TWITTER to bash Adobe! power to the people!!!

Flash Player continually crashing.

When in Firefox trying to read Yahoo Flash crashes within a few seconds. Reset page, crashes again within a few seconds. Go to another page, crashes within a few seconds. Have to go through a "close" selection process each time. Vista home occurence report says " ShimEng.dll_unloaded" as cause. How to fix? Where is this dll available, where to load it? No luck so far with Adobe advice. Fresh reload of Flash Player still crashes. Yahoo videos cannot be viewed, etc. Am an elderly dummy with PC's. need help in basic plain language please.
I suspect that the trouble initiated by trouble makers trying to load a bad Trojan by offering to "update Windows Drivers???" . Luckily Kaspersky stopped them. Any help very much appreciated. Roy.

Unfortunately, this isn't a Flash Player crash. It's crashing down in the guts of your operating system.
When I see operating system files start getting corrupted on my own computer, I usually operate on the assumption that either my hard disk is on it's way out, or I have a malware infection. Since you're talking about Trojans, I'm thinking there's a good chance that you're in the second camp. If it's been a while since you've backed up your important data, I'd make that your first priority. I wouldn't bother backing up the operating system and applications, but all of your photos and documents, etc. USB memory sticks can also be infected with malware at the hardware level and can re-infect your computers, so I'd go with an external hard disk or something.
Once you've got your stuff backed up, I'd spend an evening reinstalling the operating system. You haven't mentioned it specifically, but I'm thinking that you'e on Windows Vista. If you're taking the time to reinstall the OS, I'd recommend thinking seriously about upgrading to Windows 7 as part of that process. The Win7 upgrade is less than $100 on Amazon. The vast majority of Windows users are on Win7 at this point (Vista is < 10% last time I checked), so much more effort goes into making sure that software works well on Win7.

Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, but it's up to date on my computer. So is Firefox. Help?

For some reason, starting today, every page I visit on Firefox (no matter what) comes up with a notification that the Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. It started when I was trying to attach a word document to an email to one of my professors on my Google-supported school email account. Every time I tried to attach the document, Flash Player crashed and it wouldn't upload. I finally had to send it using my Live email, which worked, but now Flash Player crashes on every webpage I visit in about 2 seconds. My Flash Player is up to date, as is my version of Firefox. What's going on here? (Note: None of the information of the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" page was helpful at all.)

Yes, this has been a problem for a lot of people. ADOBE just released Flash Player 11.0.1.152, and that seems to have fixed the problem. It still am finding it a bit laggy to load Flash scripts, but it no longer displays the crashed window.
You can download the file from the official Flash website here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

Flash Player 10 Crashing/Freezing IE 8

I've recently upgraded my laptop to Widows 7 and everytime I go to a site supporting Flash Player it crashes my Internet Explore 8 (The browser just freezes and is "not responding). I've tried the following:
1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player. I do use http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html to unistall.
2. Tried both 32 bit and 64 bit version of Internet Explorer. I know Flash Player only supports 32 bit.
3. Tried using Google Chrome. Browser still freezes.
4. Tried different sites. I've tried a number of sites and same issue reoccurs. In fact, when I go to www.adobe.com the current video clip ("Avatar") freezes the browser.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I was growing tired of hearing this question, so I checked in with management and wrote a technote about the topic.. Generally IE8 is fine, but as with any new release there could be issues, so this doc covers how you'll deal with those:

Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing in Google Chrome

I am using Google Chrome and every time I open the browser Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I have Windows 7. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hello,
Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues.
using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
Tried the DRM fix,
Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
Also having problems on Chrome.
Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.' The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
AIV works just fine on my iPad.
For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
This needs to get fixed asap!
Thanks
V.

Flash Player Constantly Crashing w/ FireFox?!

I've been having a problem playing media on my computer. Online, instead of playing the music or video (like on youtube or something), it would freeze up firefox for a few minutes then say that my flash player has crashed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even installing an older version, but nothing works. The strangest part is, I can't even play music or video files that are saved on my computer! I'm thinking it's connected, though I have no idea why. Please, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate the help.

I have had the same problem for some time. Not only with Firefox, but with Internet Explorer (7 and 8) and Google Chrome. I am running a Windows 7 Home edition (version 6.1 build 7600) 64 bit O/S, and have read through multiple forums where the web browser is being criticised (unfairly?), and have tried all solutions offered there and here. I have uninstalled and re-installed the adobe flash/shockwave flash at least a dozen times, I have disabled all add-ons to try to isolate if this was a problem, and the flash player wouldnt work at all, but as soon as I enabled the Adobe Actve X the problem began again, so it is not another add-on causing the issue. I have disabled the hardware acceleration. Still a problem.
I am running version 10,1,102,64 of Adobe Flash Player
Firefox version 3.6.12
Internet Explorer version 8.0.7600.16385
Google Chrome version 7.0.517.41
I use Windows updater so I am assuming that all Service packs, drivers etc are up to date.
I use Avast Antivirus
Any help to solve this ongoing very frustrating problem would be much appreciated. It used to be that after un-installing and re-installing Flash it worked for a few weeks before constantly crashing, this last time it is crashing immediately, hence I am posting here.

Flash Player 10 crashing while streaming an MP3

I am currently building a streaming MP3 application, but have run into a problem. If I stream my MP3 using Flash Player 10.0.12 or older it works great. However, if I use Flash Player 10.0.22 or newer, Flash Player is crashing. It is happening primarily in IE, but I have had it crash in FireFox and Chrome as well. IE 6 is crashing almost instantly in my XP scenario. When I use Flash 10.0.12 the MP3 streams flawlessly in all of my test environments. Has anyone encountered similar problems while streaming an MP3 using the latest Flash player?
My test scenarios:
Vista Ultimate
IE7 / FireFox 3.5 / Chrome 3.0
Flash 10.0.32 (fail) / Flash 10.0.22 (fail) / Flash 10.0.12 (success) / 9.0.246 (success)
XP (32-bit)
IE 6 / FireFox 3.0 / Chome 3.0
Flash 10.0.32 (fail) / Flash 10.0.22 (fail) / Flash 10.0.12 (success) / 9.0.246 (success)
I am using the SWF Sound project in my solution: http://code.google.com/p/swfsound/
I have been able to capture several debug logs per Adobe's support instructions, but am still awaiting approval to submit them to the bug database. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Tolsdorf

Hi, The only general information that I could give you is to try turning off the hardware acceleration feature, which is turned on by default. You right click any video, Settings, Display Settings and UN check the H.A. It has also been recommended to update the graphic and video drivers to the latest versions. If that doesn't work, then there is some other conflict on the system. Anti-Virus and or add ons in the browsers(s) Now this is assuming that Flash Player is Installed correctly, along with the IE and non-IE browsers that Flash Player supports.
This site explains the hardware acceleration:

Hope this helps.

Flash Player 13 crashes with Mac OS X 10.6.8

Any version of Flash Player 13 crashes on activation.
Installing FP 12 as suggested allows Flash Player to work, but FF 28 plugin check complains "Out of Date" plugin. Update.
How serious is the security issue of running this older version of Flash Player?
(How serious is tricking the Java Installer to ignore the >OS 10.7.2 restriction?)
Thanks.

Adobe is aware of this problem. Unfortunately, in order to make both Firefox and Safari happy, you probably do have to use Firefox 12. This thread has more info and links:

Flash Player 9 Crashes Without An Error Message

Hello,
Since I downloaded the latest update of Flash Player 9
(december 2007?), my problems started. Flash Player 9 crashes (IE7)
without an error message at sites like:
Zoo Tycoon.com
My own site
And many more.
To give you guys as much information as possible about the
problem:
- The first site shouldn't give a warning, and it didn't,
till I downloaded the update of Flash Player 9. It now looks like
this >
Screen
- The second site is my own site, which should look like this
>
Screen
(Screen is made at an older PC, which hasn't got the update of FP9
installed!)
- It now looks like this>
Screen
(Screen is made at my current PC, Windows XP with the update
installed.)
- I also can't upload pictures at some sites, because they
require Flash >
Screen
- Adobe says I've succesfully installed the latest version of
Flash Player, version 9.0.115.0 >
Screen
My system is:
- Microsoft Windows XP
- Home Edition
- Version 2002
- Service Pack 2
- Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
- Clock Rate 3.01GHz, 1.50GB
- Internet Explorer 7
I'm now forced to use an older machine, Windows 2000, to
update my site and view other sites, because that PC doesn't have
the Flash Player update installed. ;)
Things I tried to solve the problem:
- Uninstall and reinstall
- Read and tried all the Troubleshooters at this site
- Adobe's uninstall program
- SubInACL
- Installed an older version of Flash Player (7 & 8)
- Regedit
- Manually renamed the files in the SYSTEM32/Macromed/Flash
folder (like explained on the forum)
Could someone please help me? I'm probably not the only one
dealing with this problem...
Regards,
Sophie
P.S.: I'm Dutch, so please don't mind my English....
:)

Is there no-one who knows the answer? And nobody who has the
same problem? :(

My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

Please tell us if this helped!

Adobe Flash Player Update crash

"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."
I'm trying to answer this question, but don't know how to do it. So I'm starting new discussion.
I’ve had this problem for over a month and have reinstalled adobe flash player multiple times.
But now, I think I finally have the answer.
My tech downloaded the adobe flash player “installer” today.
But I think the key is to
1) start / run,
2) enter “services.msc,
3) go to adobe flash player update services
4) right click to get to properties
5) change startup type to ‘Automatic” and service status to “Stopped”.

I stumbled upon something that worked although I don't know why the two items are related. I was resetting FireFox in another attempt to get the latest Flash player to work and noticed that my Java Console was disabled. I don't remember ever disabling it but I turned it back on and suddenly, the Flash player stopped crashing.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Flash Player 10 crashing. simple language please.

Hi I know you have answered this a million times but i dont understand all the tech language so here goes. my flash player 10 crashes when i play zynga games. I run a 32 bit, Internet Explorer 8 can u help?

Hi, you'll need to post back your operating system of Windows. Do you use any other browsers? If so which and what version?
Go to this test site and what version of Flash Player is indicated and can you see the animation?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
What Anti-Virus program do you use and version if you have it. Does it have a Firewall and if not do you use any Firewall other than Windows Firewall?
Thanks,

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

ok   here's more mystery. i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step. aqlso installed latest java. i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                       imdb
                                                                                       hulu
                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn
                                                                                       reuters
                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo
