Shockwave Flash crashes when hooked up to an external monitor

Hi,
I believe I have finally pinpointed a problem with my Adobe Schockwave Flash plug-in. When I am hooked up to my external monitor and use my flash player, I receive a message saying:
"The following plug-in has crashed: Adobe Shockwave Flash"
I have no idea why this is; I have thoroughly searched for a solution to no avail.
My computer:
Alienware M11x R3
Windows 7 Standard 64-bit
Flash Version: WIN 11,0,1,152
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
Google Chrome 14.0.835.202m
My Monitor:
Alienware 2210
--The driver software for this is up to date.
The stranger thing is, it only crashes on Google Chrome. It doesn't crash on Internet Explorer, I do not know what kind of an issue. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I can give any additional information if needed.
Thanks,
-Chris

Have the same problem. It happens only with the new plugin in Chrome :
Google Chrome

Apps crash when MacBook not connected to external monitor

I have been using my macbook connected to a Samsung T240M 24 inch monitor/tv for several months now with no problems at all until 2 days ago. Everything functions perfectly when the computer is connected to the external monitor, however, when I disconnect it and go mobile with my computer, almost every application I try to use crashes with the single exception that I've found so far being Firefox.
Does anybody have any clue what could be causing this bizarre behaviour? I've tried different display settings when not connected to the external monitor to no avail. PLEASE HELP!!!!

dude...that question is barely worthy of a response!!! Of course I have! I also shut it right down before disconnected the monitor.
I'm thinking this will be the thing that finally makes me get off my lazy butt and upgrade to Leopard (hoping that will fix the problem)! It's such a strange thing to just start happening after months of no problems at all.

Shockwave flash crashing on IE Chrome Firefox

Ok i am having issues of playin games on facebook and watching videos on Livestream and even live preaching my IE freezes up once i click to watch and chrome tells me shockwave flash crashed this has started happening recently since i downloaded the new update never had this happen before please help i would love to watch and plays games again

I have been having the same issues with Google Chrome too. It usually happens when i have more than one website loading a Flash Animation. Also, I experienced a lot of crashes due to my computer's processing speed(it is pretty old).
What kind of computer do you have? Is your graphics card suitable to play high-rendered video games(you must understand that now flash animations are getting more complex and heavier in terms of size and dynamics)/. What is the latest version of your flash software?
Another thing I would do is not having three different browsers. I usually stick to one. Also check if you have any kind of software that might be blocking programs from executing(such as ad-blockers, anitivirus etc.).
Hope this information helps,

Shockwave Flash Crashing on Google Chrome

Anyone using Google Chrome and having problems with the Shockwave Flash crashing?? It's been happening to me for weeks and it's driving me nuts. Really don't want to stop using Chrome but I can't take this much longer... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING.
Installation errors can manifest themselves in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
A blank or flickering dialog box
A frozen cursor or screen
An error message such as, "An error occurred during the installation process. A required file is missing."
Different factors can cause installation errors, including problems with operating system components, conflicting start-up items, and hardware conflicts.To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks you perform and the results of each task, including errors or problematic behavior. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you, if you need to call.
Beginning troubleshooting
The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Shockwave Player files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh its memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
1. Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for Shockwave Player.
Shockwave Player may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
PowerPC G4 or G5 or Mac Intel processor
Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5
128 MB of RAM
180 MB of available hard-disk space
Note: To check how much RAM is installed, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. The Memory value indicates the amount of installed RAM.2. Reinstall Shockwave Player.
An incorrect installation can cause errors when you work in Shockwave Player. Reinstalling Shockwave Player can eliminate these errors.To reinstall Shockwave Player:
Move any personal files from the Shockwave Player folder on the hard disk to another location.
Delete the Shockwave Player folder on the hard disk.
Complete task 'command+option+escape' to force quit open applications. The task number may change; it should refer to the task above, "Run Shockwave Player while no other applications are running."
Double-click the installer file in the Shockwave Player folder on the desktop.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Note: If you previously installed an update to Shockwave Player, then reinstall the update after you reinstall Shockwave Player.
3. Install Shockwave Player with the Login Items disabled for the user account.
To disable nonessential extensions located in the user accounts Login Items folder: Press Shift while you restart the computer. Pressing Shift disables any applications that are in the Login Items folder.
4. Log in as a user with administrator access privileges.
If you lack administrator access privileges, then Shockwave Player may be unable to install necessary files. To determine if limited privileges cause the problem, log in as a user with access privileges, and try to re-create the problem. If the problem doesn't recur, then the account you were previously using lacks access privileges. Contact your system administrator to grant you access privileges.To log in as a user with access privileges:
From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
Click Log Out when the system returns the message "Are you sure you want to quit all applications and log out now?"
When the log in screen appears, select a user with access privileges, type the appropriate password, and then press Return.
5. Install Shockwave Player from within a new user account.
Occasionally, a user account can become corrupted and prevent the installer from accessing or creating the necessary files and folders. Create a new account, log in to the new account, and then try to install Shockwave Player.To create a new user account:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
Click Accounts.
Click the lock icon if it's closed, and log in to make changes.
Click the plus sign.
Create a new user account. Make sure to remember the new password and to give the account administrative privileges by selecting Allow User to Administer This Computer.
Click Create Account and close the Accounts window.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log into the new user account.
6. Install Shockwave Player from the desktop.
Some system components--for example, device drivers and virus protection utilities--can conflict with the Shockwave Player installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation. To prevent these conflicts, install Shockwave Player from the desktop.
Copy the Shockwave Player folder to the desktop.
Open the Shockwave Player folder on the desktop.
Double-click the Setup file, and follow the on-screen instructions
7. Install current Mac OS X updates.
Updates to the Mac OS X operating system can improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Mac OS X updates from the Apple website atwww.apple.com/downloads/macosx/, or choose Software Update from the Apple menu. For assistance installing updates, contact Apple technical support.Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Shockwave Player 11 (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Shockwave Player) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed,then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
Intermediate troubleshooting
If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, then try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
8. Repair disk permissions by running Disk Utility.
If you log in to an account with administrator privileges, but are still unable to install or run Shockwave Player, then your disk permissions may be damaged.To repair your permissions using the Disk Utility:
Choose Go > Applications, open the Utilities folder, and then double-click Disk Utility.
Select the volume on which you want to install Shockwave Player, and then click Repair Disk Permissions.
Click the First Aid tab.
9. Optimize hard disks.
Installation or application errors can occur if the hard disk is very fragmented. Optimizing the hard disk rearranges files to minimize future fragmenting. It also restores fragmented files into single contiguous blocks, making hard disk space more accessible to the installer.Use a disk-optimizing utility, such as Symantec Norton Utilities, to optimize (defragment) each hard disk. For instructions on using a utility, refer to the documentation included with the utility.
10. Check hard disks for damage.
A damaged hard disk can cause installation errors. Check hard disks using a disk utility, such as Apple Disk Utility, Symantec Norton Utilities, or Micromat Drive 10.Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support third-party disk utilities but provides the following instructions as a courtesy. For support, contact the developer of the disk utility.To check for damage by using Apple Disk Utility (included on the system CD):
Start the computer from the system CD.
Choose Installer > Open Disk Utility.
Select the disks to be checked, and then click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair to check and, if necessary, repair selected disks.
11. Remove fonts from the Fonts folder in the Library folder before installing Shockwave Player.
Drag all fonts from the Fonts folder in the Library folder to a new folder on the desktop.
Restart the computer.
Install Shockwave Player.
Move all fonts back to the Fonts folder in the Library folder after installation is complete.
12. Scan for viruses.
Use current anti-virus software, such as McAfee Virex or Symantec Norton AntiVirus, to check the system for viruses. Make sure that you have the latest virus definitions for the anti-virus software you use. Although virus infections are rare, they can cause unexpected system behavior, including installation errors. Running virus-detection software regularly (for example, daily) prevents viruses from damaging software on the system. For instructions on running or obtaining the latest updates to the virus-detection software, refer to its documentation.

Adobe Flash crash when I try to upload some photos to create an album on Facebook . I think this issue related to the new version of Mozilla Firefox that I had installed 3 days ago and cause my system not able to open the internet . But I have sent a rep

Adobe flash crash when I try to upload photos to created album on Facebook . Is this related to the new version of Mozilla Firefox that I installed few days ago.

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

With all due respect to your totally coindescending reply, this is a bug in Flash. Happens every 4-5 times I use that menu item. Been happening for months, but we just installed a Brand new iMac (1/13). Quadcore 3.4 16G RAM and 1TB Fusion drive. Fresh install of CS6. Not running any other 3rd Party Software. Problem STILL happens in new Flash docs with small, simple vector Graphics.
So instead of blaming the users computers, how about you guys just fix the effin' problem? Thanks.

Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line ProtectedMode=0 and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the ProtectedMode=0 line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode

Finder crashes occur both on my MacBook Pro (4,1) and MacBook Air (2,1). There is very little in common between the hardware of the two systems except the Santa Rosa processor. One has HDD and the other SSD. One has 6GB in DDR2 memory in two dimms and one 2GB DDR3 soldered. One has an 8600M and one a 9400. One starts a bunch of apps at login and one starts nothing. And so on. Since it happens on different kinds of systems, it's definitely not a hardware problem with certain specific hardware. And I'm pretty sure I saw a report from someone with a MacPro.
I've looked at a lot of finder crash logs. A number of them seem to happen when something (memory or an object) is being freed and an error occurs. This causes an abort and the finder is killed and restarts. Not exactly a "crash". More like controlled flight into the ground. The other cases are probably not catching the error and getting seg faults, so those actually are crashes. Unfortunately, the place this happens seems to be different every time but usually related to finder or AppKit.
I suspect a memory corruption bug somewhere. I've pushed my system by opening and closing
folders, scrolling up and down, and opening and closing subfolders, and once the problem happens, it is usually reproducible for a few minutes (or a few repeats of the action that caused the crash).
Then it will often "magically" start working or a slight variation of behavior, e.g., opening a folder directly vs. using a finder window sidebar alias (or vice-versa) will work.

It starts to cue and within 3-4 seconds, the program just crashes hard. As stated, I tried it on local hard drive and external. Same result...
In the destination backup folder, it will copy over one folder, no images.
Thanks ahead of time.

When I plug in an external monitor, I lose sound

The speakers don't work on the laptop when I plug in an external monitor. When I run a check, it says they are working properly.

Tomandiris, welcome to the forum.
When requesting help, you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of the them.
It may be that the laptop is expecting to find external speakers. Since I am new to laptops, I will check further when I know the model.

How to fix, shockwave flash crashes (a lot)

Hi
What to do...
I have Vista ultimate and Firefox.
Two days ago Shockwave flash started crashing (the popup said it had stopped working). When the plugin crashes it freezes Firefox and the plugin crashed so often that in order to use Firefox I have had to completely disable Shockwave.
I have tried reinstalling the Shockwave plugin but no improvement. I never realized how much web content uses Shockwave flash...
The plugin crashes on practically everything that's it would be involved in running (except Utube, that works, I don't know if the plugin is involved in playing utube videos).
Any and all suggestions are appreciated...
Regards
Bob
