IE8 in Windows 7 crashing with flash frequently

Hello,
I'm running a brand new install of Windows 7 (formatted with Windows 7 on a brand new drive, not upgraded from a previoius OS).  I'm running the 32 bit Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385 on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all the latest MS patches.   I have flash 10,0,32,18 installed.    I can browse many flash pages but about 1 in 12 will eventually crash IE8.   I can go back into IE8 and open the same page that crashed flash/ie8 but it is very frustrating to browse the web and have it crash so often.

Some troubleshooting for flash player:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
If you follow all the steps, this will usually lead to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408620.html
The second link includes steps for developers and then steps for users (not sure why they didn't list the users section first). Skip to the users section and follow those steps.
This will fix many flash errors, however there are still some flash videos that are just broken. You should record the URL of the sites that cause your flash player to crash IE.

  • My Firefox keeps crashing with flash websites

    My Firefox keeps crashing with flash enabled websites. I disabled all plugins and addons and keeps doing it. Cannot browse the web for more than a couple minutes without a crash. Crash reports is basically always the same with the exception of the site where the crashing event is triggered.

  • Constant crashing with Flash CC in Windows 8.1

    Hello I am an avid Flash user who has worked in the program for roughly 10 years since before it was bought by Adobe and called Macromedia MX5. This most recent version of Flash CC is incredibly buggy with respect to the following areas..
    I am constantly suffering crashes in Flash on my windows 8.1 desktop computer. The tower I have is more than capable to handle Flash CC so I don't understand why it is crashing. This isn't happening with even heavier hitting software such as After Effects only Flash CC.
    I especially notice crashes and stalling when saving as well as when scrubbing or playing in the timeline or trying to clear key frames or adjust keyframes in any manner.
    Additionally I have noticed more substantial problems and flaws with Flash CC in comparison to previous versions. This is evident most in the audio options. I think a lot of the problems that stem from audio playback and lagging playback time is the fact that audio is defaulting to a repeat function of 1x when it should default to no repeat function. Sometimes changing repeat to 0 resolves this issue but even still audio always seems to start from beginning of the clip/sound file as opposed to playhead despite having stream selected. This was never a probelm in previous versions of Flash for me, EVER. I don't understand how this has become a problem now all of a sudden when this version of Flash is supposed to be running 64bit as opposed to 32bit.
    I also noticed that the audio on some files has ceased to work when I revisit the file later on. It will not play no matter what in the stage/timeline but is audible when I do a test movie or export movie.
    Is anyone else having similar issues here? I didn't seem to have so many problems when I was using Flash CS6, this audio thing is probably my biggest beef though I can't say I'm too fond of the crashing either.

    first try resetting your preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting flash pro.  you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    if that fails, uninstall and then reinstall flash pro.
    if that fails, uninstall, clean and then reinstall flash pro following these steps exactly, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • Firefox 17, & 18 crash with Flash 10 or 11 with WIn8

    I have a brand new computer (Samsung) - and I installed Firefox 17. and the newest flash - It worked fine for a few days.. Then randomly flash would crash and firefox and take it out basically.. I would need to uninstall flash, and Firefox. I have tried versions 17, 18 and auroa(sp?) betas.. with flash 10 and 11 versions.
    Only thing not factory on the PC is iTunes, Firefox and Kaspersky AntiVirus.
    I have tried to uncheck the hardware acceleration, in FF and flash..

    I'm having this same problem on an up to date Windows 7 machine. It is not just a Win8 issue. Adobe Flash and Firefox have been fighting with each other and causing browser lockups ever since I switched to Firefox 17.0. I managed to get things sorted out but then when upgrading to Firefox 17.0.1 it came back with a vengeance.
    IE works just fine. Downgrading to previous major rev of flash didn't fix it with 17.0.1. Then downgraded to latest Firefox 16 and things work just fine. Don't have realplayer installed. My graphics card doesn't support turning off DirectX HW accel. Otherwise have been through all the steps...

  • How to report a crash with Flash Player

    In this thread, I'll be describing the different processes for reporting crashes in Flash Player.  We're committed to finding and fixing these bugs and we appreciate any help you can give us!
    In general, when reporting a crash, please create a new bug over at bugbase.adobe.com and a new thread so that your issues won't be lost in threads that can sometimes span many pages.  When creating the bug, please include the following information:
    1. A brief explanation of what you were doing when the crash occurred.  Screenshots and or video of the steps required are always welcome!  Cell phone captures work great.  Many times we can pick up on small subtleties with a simple picture.
    2. An exact URL where the crash occurred.  Even though a crash might appear to happen in many places (like all videos on youtube for example), it still helps us to have an exact URL so that there are no ambiguities in our testing.
    3. A crash log!  See the posts below for details on creating crash logs for your particular browser.
    4. Your current version of Flash Player
    5. In some cases, computer hardware and drivers can contribute to a crash.  Getting your system details is always helpful.  Here are some simple steps to gather system details for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
    Thanks!
    Chris

  • Particularly nasty crashes with flash

    First, I am going to paste a description of the problem I initially posted on tomshardware. It took me a while to realize that
    the only connecting thread between the crashes I am experiencing was Flash.
    i5 2500k
    asus p8p67le
    8GB gskill
    Sapphire 6850 (11.9)
    Coolermaster 600w
    No overclocking. All the temperatures are fine. Tried a clean install of Radeon drivers.
    This crash has been bugging me for a long time. It usually occurs while gaming but not always. Also occurred while viewing flash videos and even just simple images. Appears to be happening in random. I can have a few days without a crash or a couple of hours with 3 crashes.
    Description:
    The monitor turns off abruptly as if it isn't receiving a signal. Sound will continue for about 10 seconds and will then loop. After that the only way to get back to normal is a hard reset. Just hitting the reset button doesn't work. The PC resets but the monitor doesn't turn back on. I can see by looking at the hard drive led that the this reboot is stuck somewhere it doesn't get to load windows. The only way to get things back to normal is completely power off the machine and power it back on again.
    After I'm back in Windows I get a "the system has recovered from a serious error" message:
    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff80002ed4bb6). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 112411-19952-01.
    Event viewer doesn't show anything else because apparently the crash takes windows down instantly. Using Whocrashed, I get the following:
    On Thu 24-Nov-11 19:13:54 GMT your computer crashed
    crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\112411-19952-01.dmp

    Google query: atikmdag.sys ATI Technologies Inc. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    I am pretty helpless diagnosing this crash. No logs and and black screen give very little information. How can I find out what runs at ntoskrnl.exe +0x7CC40 ? Why does whocrash blame two different modules for the crash (the kernel and ATI driver)?
    I feel that the fact that a hard reset is necessary might give some clues but I have no experience with these types of crashes, it's also impossible for me to try and reproduce.
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    I've been experiencing these crashes while doing 3 different things:
    1) Wathcing twitch.tv (online streaming site which uses Flash)
    2) Playing starcraft 2 (which uses flash for it's gui)
    3) Playing Skyrim (uses flash for it's gui)
    I think that there is a very high probablity that flash is the culprit here. Is there a way to diagnoze this? Some sort of Flash log to look into?
    Thanks ahead

    Hi,
    This is a new instlation of Windows 7 x64. There is no last known good configuation because I've been having these problems ever since I assembelled this machine.
    >You may be having problems with Flash as a direct result of an unstable system, but that app isn't the cause of the problem in this particular case.
    How can you be so certain?
    All Windows systems have a Last Known Good Configuration option. If you don't have it, then the operating system is not installed properly and that's where the problem lies. See this article for details: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Using-Last-Known-Good-Configuration
    Flash cannot cause the problem because it's occurring at level 2 (Dispatch_Level), that is to say during the time the operating system and drivers are loading. Since Flash doesn't load during startup, it cannot be the cause of the problem.
    The system is unstable because either a driver or the operating system failed to load properly. Consequently, anything you try to use the machine for is likely to go pear-shaped. Since Flash taxes the system, it probably will crash if the operating system is unstable, whereas you can probably run a low level app like Notepad without any problem.
    After you built the machine, did you install the chipset drivers? Something often forgotten.
    Do you have any black exclamation marks inside yellow circles in Device Manager? Is there an "Other Devices" category? The latter means that a hardware component has loaded, but Windows can't find a driver for it.
    Are there any "Problem Devices" in the system? You can check by going to Start, then Run, type: msinfo32 and click OK. Then open the Components tree and then the submenu called "Problem Devices". If you get an error when you run msinfo32, apply this fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977620

  • Firefox 7 consistantly crashes with flash content

    This is quite frustrating. Ever since the release of FF6 the performance of Firefox with Flash related content literally sucks! The plugin container is ALWAYS crashing consistently.
    It seems that in Mozilla race to compete with Google Chrome in their rapid releases has resulted in rapid blunders. If better testing was in place this crap would not be happening. Mozilla needs to slow their roll in all honesty of people that have been long time Firefox users are going to move to Google Chrome since it is not plagued with issues that are getting all kinds of loyal Firefox fans pissed off over something so simple as flash.
    I have had more problems with crashing since Firefox 5 has come out. Obviously the proper testing has not been done by Mozilla. In the 3. series i maybe crashed once a year, now is daily! WAKE UP MOZILLA!
    Before I go any further i have read numerous post in here with people have the same problem. I have also done some testing on my own from what Mozilla suggests, in which NONE of their solutions corrects this issue. My solution however, which is not a solution but more a work a round solves totally any plugin-container.exe crashing. It was simply to roll back to Firefox 4.01. I updated to the newest flash player via their site.
    I have been crash free for days now! THIS IS NOT AN ADOBE FLASH ISSUE. If it were then i would have crashed in 4.01 as well. For those concerned with the update nag, simply go to options->advanced-> and the tick boxes. that will prevent the nag
    I thought that i could re-install Firefox 7 and simply replace the plugin-container.exe from 4.01, however that did not work. It resulted in a complete lock up of Firefox 7.01, and was honestly hoping that it would be that straight forward.
    I read some peoples success with the 8b3. So, I tried that, and didn't solve my problem. I crashed within 24 hours again on flash related content. ( the crash ids are for the 8b3 i listed ).
    Maybe someone needs to take the plugin container, and associated components in 4.01 and incorporate it in a new release, or revert back to that engine all together so that we can have a nice web experience without all the crashes.
    You can get Firefox 4.01 here:
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/
    edit: replaced random unofficial download site link.

    I have found the bug thread, and have posted several posts with information and some examples of sites that provide positive crashes.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561019
    From reading the posts, it looks as if Mozilla has moved this up a bit in priority according to reading into a post from one of the mozilla's team members since I have provided information concerning the crashes.
    That particular bug ( Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs ) is the TOP crasher of plugins:
    https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/7.0.1/7/plugin
    As far as reporting bug/hangs. The end user has to press the " submit crash report " link to submit it. If they do not it will sit there until you go into about:crashes
    For hangs that DO NOT produce a crash you once again have to go into about:crashes and click on all the reports that DO NOT have a " bp " in front of them to get them to actually submit. They will post in about 3 minutes.
    So for the "400 million" said users and " hard facts tend to suggest that most users do not crash " is unreliable to state since it is TOTALLY up to the end user to submit the report providing they know how. I know from working in a professional environment 99.9% of users do not submit error reports of any kind when something crashes the OS or any program. Even with the 9 members of my team they always click "do not send" except for myself.
    " Get rid of plugin container " is a non option since you run the risk of features not working as i have found when you do that.
    It does seem like a Firefox issue for several reasons: latest version of flash with Firefox v4.01 works flawlessly, and Chrome and IE do not have this issue with flash.

  • After windows crashes with firefox open profile always needs to be recreated

    Anytime windows crashes or my computer unexpectedly restarts and Firefox is open, the "restore session" screen comes up, then no matter what (if anything) is clicked, Firefox promptly locks up.
    I have to create a new profile and copy over the profile folder contents every single time. It is very annoying and frustrating.
    I have tried deleting the entire profile folder after the crash, no change.
    I have uninstalled and reinstall Firefox (with and without thunderbird), no change.
    I have even go through the registry and manually deleted any mozilla and firefox key.
    It has been going on in releases 4.x, 6, and now 7.0.1

    Why not back up your profile (back to the Firefox parent directory), so that you can put it back easily? That way, you save the profiles.ini file as well as the profile.

  • Captivate 5 Crashing with Flash CS5 and Photoshop

    Hello,
    It's been awhile since I've been on the forums, so my apologies if this issue has already been posted.
    I am running Captivate 5. I find when I am working on a file, if I open PhotoShop (12.0.4 64-bit edition) or Flash CS5 (11.0.2.489) at the same time Captivate is open, my instance of Captivate will crash and I will lose all work that I have not yet saved. Thankfully I've gotten into the habit of saving before opening these programs but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this issue and if so, has there been a workaround created?
    I want to send a bug report in but I can't for the life of me get it to do it all the time - I can't provide them with exactly how I do it.
    Thanks
    Doug

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the response. That's what I had been doing with Photoshop, but I didn't think I'd have to do it with Flash as well! This morning, working in Captivate, open Flash, boom - bye bye this morning's work in Captivate!
    Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.
    Thanks!

  • [resolved] Launching crash with Flash builder and Unrecognized Java VM option

    Hello,
    I just wanted to share my experience with Flash Builder. Funny if we can call it like that...
    I tried to launch Flash builder, which worked since years without problem, but here, there was a problem. In the console log; it says only that :
    Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -Xdock:name=Flash Builder
    Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -Xdock:icon=../Resources/fb_app.icns
    Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -XstartOnFirstThread
    I read tons of threads explaining things i didn't understand.
    And then I remembered that I changed the name of a folder containing a Flash Builder project (I just removed spaces in the name).
    So I renamed it the way it was.
    Done...
    Hope it will help!

  • Windows 7 full-system crash with Flash 10 audio

    I upgraded from xp home to 7 pro, and now find the computer crashing (freezing) in Windows 7, either Firefox or IE8, when using Flash to play audio. Video is OK (with hardware acceleration turned off).  All audio enhancements are turned off.  Granted, this is an old computer, but the same version of Flash in the same versions of Firefox and IE work fine on the same hardware in XP.
    Problem OS is Windows 7 Pro, up to date on patches including drivers, 32-bit
    Firefox 4.0.1 or IE 8
    Flash WIN 10,3,181,14
    Hardware summary:
    Pentium D 945
    2G RAM
    2 500G hard drives (one PATA with the old XP system; one SATA with Windows 7 clean install upgrade; dual-boot as installed by Windows 7)
    Visiontek ATI X1300 video
    Motherboard Realtek audio
    Bottom-fisher DSL (1.5 down) Internet connection
    The freeze is guaranteed when listening to Pipedreams audio (for instance: http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/www_publicradio/tools/media_player/popup.php?name=pipedr eams/2011/05/16_pipedreams_128&starttime=00:00:00&endtime=00:59:07). If other network activity uses a lot of bandwidth (large pictures, etc.) the crash happens sooner, but even if completely left alone it will crash before a 1-hour program segment is finished.
    Youtube works fine.  BBC iPlayer works fine.  Capital Public Radio web stream works fine.  All use Flash.
    Sometimes (but not always) blue-screen type errors will be logged on restart (hard reset - power switch or reset button - is needed).  The most common are processor timer errors, with very occasional bus errors instead.  However, a blue screen never appears; the system just freezes.
    There are a couple of similar topics from 2010, but neither that I found in the search was quite the same (involved video as well as audio), and both seemed to be helped by disabling hardware acceleration and audio enhancements -- that doesn't work for me.  Any other ideas?  Note again: this does not happen on the same hardware running XP Home (fully patched) with the same versions of Firefox, IE, and Flash.

    BSOD's are never good. They point to a problem much bigger and deeper than any software issues.
    When XP came out eleven years ago, people were astonished at how much processor it took to handle the GUI vs Windows 98. Processors an RAM have upgraded a lot since then. It was worse with VIsta, even on newer systems. Seven was a step in the right direction, but I'd guess that your old computer (your words, not mine) isn't up to the task of running Windows 7.

  • Acrobat Pro Crash with Flash Import

    Every time I try to import a Flash file with the Flash tool in Acrobat Pro v9.2.0 it crashes out. i thought it might have been a file size issue but it happens regardless of the size of the file I am trying to import.
    I'm running 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro which is a year old.

  • IE crashing with Flash player and MS Firewall Client

    I have seen this on versions 6, 7, and 8 of Internet Explorer. I work in a firm where all are computers are behind proxy servers running Microsoft ISA. All our PCs have the MS Firewall Client installed. When visiting certain flash intensive sites, mostly online news sites, like nytimes.com, IE will always crash while browsing the page or after refreshing the page. Sometimes an error is generated and other times IE just closes without any notification of an error taking place.
    An example of the error sometimes generated will sometimes be a generic "iexplore.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x556038ae" referenced memory at "0x0000000f". The memory could not be read...." or "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. R6025 - pure virtual function call."
    Often times the crash of IE will be captured by XPs Dr Watson creating a .log file which can be examined with any text editor; a .dmp file will also be generated which can then be opened with the Windows Debuggin Tools. I have looked at a few of these files and in every instance there is a FAULT when wspwsp.dll is called.
    Wspwsp.dll is used by an older version of Microsofts Firewall Client for ISA. The IE/Adobe Flash crash can be resolved by upgrading to lastest version of the FWC for ISA (version 4.0 currently). Alternately, this issue can also be worked around by disabling the FWC while browsing the Internet from the FWC icon in the system tray (right click>disable or from the Control Panel>Firewall Client>Uncheck Enable option). To do this on the fly, you can place the ISATRAY.exe in the All Users startup folder if the FWC icon fails to stick in the system tray box.

    Ironically enough, I can reproduce the above mentioned R6025 error this morning by just going to Adobe's home page and waiting for the intro Adobe Acrobat 9 video to near the end. Clicking OK to the error will close IE. A minidump is not produced either by DrWatson or by using CrashLogEnable=1 in mms.cfg in this case.

  • IE browser windows crash at Flash player websites

    My computer seems to be running much slower at sites where Flash Player is used.  Myspace crashes/automatically closes very often.  I have downloaded Flash Player 10.  I have no idea where it is on my computer though.  I am using Internet Explorer 7, but was thinking of using FireFox.  I downloaded FireFox and went to YouTube and wasn't able to view any movies.  So I've downloaded Flash Player 10 a couple times and nothing is working.  I have run CCleaner, Malwarebytes, and have given combofix logs to other forums.  I have (hopefully) pinpointed the problem to being my Flash Player.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    I suggest that you start afresh, by following these steps
    download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
    download the offline installers
    for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
    for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
    close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller;
    reboot windows to remove all residual FP files;
    with all browser windows closed, run the downloaded installers.
