"Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed" in Google Chrome Web Browser

Hi,
I keep getting the following message when using Google Chrome web browser:
"The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash"
When I start using Google Chrome, Flash is working fine but normally after about 15 minutes usage I get the message.  If I close down Google Chrome and start again, Flash is working fine again for a little while and then crashes again.  I have to say it is now getting quite annoying as I do prefer to use Google Chrome to Internet Explorer for various reasons but it never crashes in Internet Explorer.  Is there anyone that can help me with this please?
I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ38M laptop and my operating system is Vista.  I am also using the latest version of Google Chrome.
Thanks
Sue

Thanks for your comments eidnolb.
I have gone to the test site for each of the browsers I use; Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.  For each one, they display the animation and the correct, most up-to-date version of Adobe Flash Player.
With regard to the adblock/adblock plus for Chrome, I do not know what you are referring to as I cannot find any reference to adblocks in the tools menu.  It's certainly not something that I have intentionally turned off or on so it will be at whatever default setting Chrome comes with.
The Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled for all 3 browsers which is, I guess, why I am seeing the animation.  Unfortunately, with Chrome the Shockwave Flash will eventually crash whilst I am using it.  Do you have any further thoughts on why it might be crashing please?
Cheers
Sue

    Download the latest version from here ONLY:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.

  • What can I do if  shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome browser ?

    What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome ?

    I think Google Chrome is more easy to troubleshoot. Try this:
    1. Open Chrome.
    2. Click the far-right Icon (Customize and control Google Chrome).
    3. Select about Google Chrome. It check if Google Chrome is up to date and if not it'll get update.
    4. You must wait until a GREEN check mark appear saying your Google Chrome is up to date.
    5. Remember, you don't need to get Adobe Flash Player separately because Google Chrome has it own integrated Player.
    6. Accept Google Chrome constant upgrade to their Chrome browser.
    Wishing you Good Luck!

  • Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere

    Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere. I already tried completely removing every file it has, reinstalling it, and I went through the process of reinstalling Adobe Flash a couple of times. I'm using a PC. This has been going on for 3 days, it hasn't worked even once. It all seemed to have started right after I updated Google chrome, but Shockwave won't work on any browser, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Please help!

    Please (search first, then) ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • I get the message "adobe flash plug in has crashed" when I try to play a sample file from audible.co.uk

    I am running windows vista for business (32 bit), using firefox, when I try to play a sample from audible.co.uk the browser hangs and then I get the message, "adobe flash plug in has crashed". I have tried uninstalling the flash player and reinstalling to no avail. It also crashes using Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

  • Adobe Flash Player is out of date (GOOGLE CHROME) it isn't...

    Hello!
    I am not very computer savvy so bare with me, but if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
    I am using Google Chrome web browser (I have IE and FF but for some reason they are sooo slow). Everytime I visit a page that uses Flash (every page in the world almost) I get this ERROR message...
    (jigsaw puzzle logo) Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.                                 Two boxes... 'Run this time' + Update plug-in
    I clicked update and it took me to the Adobe Flash page. It says it requires a MAC OS 10.6 or higher
    My MAC is an OS 10.5.8
    SO... I found the version for this OS and downloaded/installed.
    Restarted my computer, launched Chrome and what d'ya know, I got the same message!!!
    I don't know what I need to do now. I tried lower versions, still not working and I can't upgrade to Lion as this is a 10.5 (great!)
    My processor is a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mem 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM 
    Just incase that helps.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or what I need to buy to make it work I would very much appreciate the advice!
    Thank you
    OH I also just found on the Chrome:Plugins page that beside the FLASH note it says:
    Flash - Version: 10.3.183.29 Download Critical Security Update
    Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
    When I click on download critical... it downloads and still doesn't work.

    Does this forum post help?

  • Shockwave flash plug in crashes in every browser on my mac

    I have been posting about this problem on the Apple forums and think that the problem is the flash player.
    After a recent Apple security update, I am unable to play the game "Serpentine" on games.cobradragon.com.  The game is a free boggle like game, a very simple platform that isn't heavy on graphics or anything.  But for some reason, I cannot play the game on any of my browsers.  They are all up to date and the Adobe Flash player is the most recent version : 11.2.202.235
    My OX is OSX 10.6.8  
    I know this is related to the Apple security update from around May 14 because I haven't yet updated my MacBook with that Apple update and am not having any problems playing the game on my Macbook's browsers. 
    I have gone through all of the steps on the Adobe website that it suggested to get Flash to work properly but I still get the error message:  "The following plug in has crashed:  Shockwave Flash." 
    I haven't noticed any problems on high media content sites like Facebook or Youtube, it seems to only create a problem on the one game site that I use.  As I said, the game site is a simple boggle game, no big adverts, etc.  It is free to register and play there if anyone here wants to try it on their iMac with the latest Apple security update and see if their browser gets the same error.
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. 
    I'm not sure that Adobe can do anything about this because it seems like it's an Apple security thing.  I'm not a complete technical moron but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. 
    Thanks.

    I gave this a try on my 10.6.8 test system but was unable to reproduce the crash.  When the plugin crashes, do you receive a crash log report?  If so, could you paste the contents in a reply?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Shockwave Flash plug-in crashing

    Lately, I've been getting the following message:  "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash" in a yellow bar near the top of my browsers.  I get the same error in chrome, IE8, Firefox, etc.
    When I go into control panel --> Flash Player --> Advanced Tab, the Updates portion, Plug-in Version:  Not Installed,  ActiveX Version:  11.1.102.55.  I suspect it has something to do with the plug-in version.  When I check for updates at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it says, "You have version 11,1,102,55 installed".  I've tried uninstalling all "Adobe Flash Player..." programs and re-installing them to no avail.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome with no luck.
    Here's my stats:
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Intel(R) Core(TM2)2 Duo CPU
    e6750 @ 2.66Ghz
    3.48 GB of RAM
    IE version 8.0.6001.18702

    Could you please go the uninstall/reinstall route again, but do it according to my instructions in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081633#4081633

  • Firefox crashes on some web sites because of Shockwave Flash plug-in

    I have the latest Firefox running on updated Windows Vista SP2. Each time I go to my Google+ site, FF opens it and then crashes. I have located the problem for this crash to the Adobe Flash plug-in. When I disable the Shockwave Flash plug-in, crashes would stop. The Shockwave plug-in is updated to the latest version, and I even re-installed it, which didn't help. I have similar crashes on some other sites during searches. It becomes rather frequent and irritating. Please suggest some options how to deal with that.

    Thanks for reply. I do have the updated version of Trusteer Rapport. It is really interesting - I disable Shockwave Flash, and the crashes would stop. Then I would enable the Shockwave and stop the Rapport, the crashes would also stop. However, when they both are active - Firefox crashes all the time on Google+ web site. I do not have the same problem with Google Chrome and IE-9, only Firefox. I will try to ask Trusteer forums, but doubt that they would be able to offer something. It looks like Firefox specifically does not like something.

  • Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

    Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

    What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.
    I notice too that you have an outdated version of Shockwave For Director. You can update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
