Fresh Install Windows 7 x64 IE 9 Flash Player Crash

Greetings All,
I am working on a major imaging prject for my organization.  I'm getting ready to create a new image for some of our machines so I was getting the reference computers ready.  I have noticed that when flash player is enabled in IE 9 it crashes the browser.  I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped working" error.  I can click the close program button, IE will try to launch the same page again and i get the error again with a bar on the bottome of the IE window stating "A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab".  After a few rounds of this I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website."  This is occuring on two different machines that I have been preping.
Here are the details of what I have done to these machines:  (Dell E6420 and Dell E6320)
1.  Installed Windows 7 x64 from install media (blanked the drive so fresh install)
2.  Installed SEP 11.0.6200.754
3.  Installed all drivers fresh off of Dell's website.
4.  Installed Office 2010.
5.  Ran and updated EVERYTHING from MICROSOFT update, SP1 and IE 9 included.
6.  Went to Adobe.com and installed the latest Acrobat, Flash, and Shockwave Player from the links on the main page.
7.  Rebooted and now anytime I go to any page with Flash objects I get the above error.
Here are version:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
IE 9.0.8112.16421
Shockwave Flash Object (Enabled in Manage Add-ons) 10.2.159.1
As said these are two brand new machines, two fresh loads, two batches of software fresh from the web, and two machines having unacceptable problems when Flash is installed.  What's up here?
Many Thanks for your time!

I’m going to take a moment and do two things, bump the thread, and provide a short synopsis on where we stand on this issue.
After much trial and error and the help of Chris I can say with relative certainty that this is an issue with compatibility between nVidia’s Optimus systems and Flash player’s hardware acceleration feature.  I don’t know if the issue is just IE9 or IE8.  I haven’t taken the time to try this on an Optimus system with IE 8 yet.  If someone out there is running one of the Optimus enabled laptops with IE8 and the latest flash installed I would love to hear some feed back.
Ultimately IE8 vs. IE9 is an inconsequential issue.  Soon Microsoft will start pushing IE 9 as an important update meaning that the problem will need to be fixed or we’ll be faced with more users having the problem. 
I have posted about the issue in the nVidia forums, Dell forums, and Adobe forums.  Please find the links to the threads below.  I don’t believe the issue to be unique to just the two Dell models that I am dealing with.  I have run across numerous complaints along this line from several different OEMs.
Here are some links of interest if you want to research and lend your voice to the cause:

  • Anyone successfully installed Windows 7 x64 Enterprise on iMac running OSX 10.9.3?

    I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 Enterprise onto IMac (late 2013 model) that has Maverick OSX 10.9.3 installed.  We have done this in the past, before upgrading to 2012R2, and using 10.9.2 OSX. 
    When I create the TS media using x64 WinPE, insert into the IMac and boot - the boot selection pulls up.  I select the USB EFI boot (only one that loads and it starts running WinPE and pulling up the Task sequence selection.  I think the issue
    is with the partition table.  Before installing Windows - I exit with F8, run diskpart, which shows 3 primary partitions.  I add a 4th and format as NTFS.  I now have 4 primary partitions - none that show as EFI.  The TS starts, checks
    requirements, and tried to download the preinstallation environment to the disk as the TS tells it to install to disk 0, part 4 with no formatting and fails with 0x8007000f. 
    If I use diskpart to clean the drive and boot with the USB  to EFI, let SCCM select Bios or UEFI, it will detect to UEFI, download the PE environment and apply the OS.  When it reboots, it does not recognize the hd, showing a flashing folder. 
    Any help or comments are appreciated. 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I recommend you use Boot Camp to create partition.
    Boot Camp is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s OS X that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers.

  • Unable to install Windows 7 x64 on Partitioned 3TB

    Since my exhaustive search of these forums and Google provided no substantive hits, I decided to do it myself and install Windows 7 x64 on partition 3 (500GB) of a Western Digital 3TB drive via Boot Camp.
    I can say after two days of trying that it is not possible as the Windows 7 installer will not allow it to continue on said partition due to it being on a GPT drive, even after using the installer to both reformat the target partition as NTFS as well as deleting and reformatting same partition. I even tried rebooting after deleting to see if the installer will proceed (I read this possible solution from a Vista x64 installation issue); the installer has steadfastly refused to install. The same installation DVD works just fine on 2TB drives that have been partitioned via Boot Camp.
    Not sure what else to try, though I did read somewhere about possibly using GPARTED to format the target partition, but I think the true underlying issue may be "standard" EFI versus Apple's EFI implementation which is preventing Windows 7 x64 from installing.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on this matter, or is this a dead-end until Apple or Microsoft changes something?

    I have a PowerMac dual 2.3 G5, a Mac Pro dual 2.66 Duo (2006), and Mac Pro dual 2.8 Quad (2008) and a MacBook Pro 2.26 Duo (2009 Unibody).
    I was attempting the install on my home 2008 MP. The 2006 is at a work site so cannot be considered in my project.
    I HAD 1 2TB drive in bay 1 that had 10.6.7 and Win7 x64, 2 3TB in bay 2/3 (bay 2 had 10.6.7 backup OS while bay 3 was purely a data drive) and 1 1TB WinXP x86 in bay 4.
    So I just replaced the 2TB with a third 3TB and needed to keep Win7. Now I'm faced with either SHRINKING WinXP in bay 4 in order to partition it into two with Win7 on the other partition, or wiping out 10.6.7 partition the just-replaced 2TB and cloning my WinXP drive onto that.
    I only need probably at most 500GB for both WinXP and Win7, primarily for development purposes as well as PC-only gaming; I don't need a 2TB drive for them and I'd rather retask the 2TB drive into my unRAID media server.
    Which means I don't want a 3TB Windows only solution.

  • Install only 32bit version of AX Flash Player for IE8 and Windows 7 64bit

    Hi,
    For several reasons I would like to install only the 32bit version of Flash Player AX for IE 8 and Windows 7 64bit.
    It was possible to do it when the installers where separated but I see no information how to do that now.
    It is very convenient for me to have my 64 bit IE 8 browser without Flash that I use to browse and not get annoyed by the flash on the web and use the 32bit IE 8 on youtube, vimeo, etc when flash is necessary.
    I hope the option to choose which version to install will get back if it is not possible now.
    Please let me know if such kind of request should be made somewhere else as new feature or whatever.
    Thank you.

    That was the first thing I tried. It either works on both or disables on both versions. Something is messed with the settings as well, or has been made that way on purpose. Also the next thing I tried was to uninstall only the part residing in System 32 (leaving the one in SysWOW64) but the result was both not working after the uninstall. It remained in Programs but wasn't working anymore in both versions of IE 8. So I just put back the latest 32bit version which is not security wise..

    I tried tonnes of method already, and the apple guide method absolutely doesn't work for MacBook Air, 10.9.1
    Did you even tried it yourself????!! with Maverick 10.9.1 you will NOT be able to get pass the bootcamp first page:"install window 7". It will give an error msg saying "The installer disc could not be found"
    My usb confirmed bootable! I created it with bootcamp, and tested it on a different macbook and it works. But doesn't work on MacBook Air. (Even startup disk doesn't detect it as bootable in Air)
    anyone else has a real solution to this problem?
    Thousands have successfully tried it themselves and installed Windows on a Macbook Air. Perhaps if you provided some details about what you did and what errors you observed we could help you. The Boot Camp instaructions, if followed, will produce a successful install.

  • In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

    In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
    Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
    In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
    I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
    There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
    I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

    You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
    *http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

  • After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Flash Player. Even though it's already installed. How can I fix that?

    After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. Even though it's already installed the situation remains the same since the last month.
    Can I fix that just doing the upgrade for the Yosemite?

    Well, after hours of trying to figure it out I gave up and un-installed and re-installed that last verion of Adobe Flash Player and now it seems I can play games again in Messenger. Everything else had been fine just that. I can only figure it was because it was having a hard time updating the first time and took me 3 tries. So even though it said it was installed, apparently it wasn't done correctly.
    Though when I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first I looked and checked to see all the things were enabled that were supposed to be and they were.
    I even tried to go to the Adobe site and download the last version I had and couldn't find it. Kept coming up with the new version. Others said if you download a particular older version it may not have all the security features in it.
    This really gets to be a bit much, especially when you're by yourself and have only a smattering of knowledge of technical things.
    Thanks fore responding to my question.

  • Flash Player crashes on Firefox and Windows 8

    I too have this problem and it occurred after Firefox's recent update.
    The Flash Player crashes any time I open a website with embedded Flash videos.
    I cannot watch anything that requires Flash Player and when on Facebook, the pages continually crash. I send a crash report each time then reload and it crashes again. I send about 20 reports per hour and am sick of it and have started using another browser where I do not have this problem but my preferred browser is Firefox.
    I have Firefox 35.0.1 which is the latest  version.
    My operating system is Windows 8
    The plugin I have for Flash Player is Firefox, Mozilla - NPAPI 16.0.0.296 however when I check with Flash Player, it tells me the version I have is 16.0.0.235.
    When I try to upgrade, I am informed that my version is up to date.
    Steps taken
    - updated Flash Player
    - Cleared caches
    - Unchecked hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    I cannot find the menu for Flash Player as I'd like to try to disable hardware accelerator there too.
    HELP please.

    Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac.  I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
    Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable.  We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
    In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome.
