Shockwave Player 10.2.0.023 Crashing IE

Hi,
After deployment of Shockwave Player 10.2.0.023 using the MSI
package (sw_lic_full_installer.msi), Internet Explorer continually
crashes when accessing Shockwave sites, such as
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/.
Disabling the Shockwave ActiveX Control (SwDir.dll) stops IE
from crashing, but obviously Shockwave Player no longer works.
System Information:
- Windows 2003 R2 with SP2
- IE 6
Is this a known issue? If so, what version do you recommend
deploying to Terminal/Citrix Servers?
Cheers,
Jeremy

I have a simular problem, have had it along time but until
now never bothered me, now i want it to work and it keeps crashing
my explorer...
windows xp
explorer 6.something (cant upgrade because of work issues and
that ticks me off)
details:
when playing a game online via yahoo or even when I
downloaded the trial version I can play for about 1-5 minutes then
explorer crashes and thats the end, no difference as to when I last
rebooted comp so not sure the issue solution.

Shockwave player 10.0.2.023

Hi,
Can you please let me know the end of support date for the shockwave 10.0.2.023 version and also on the whole the total End of support policy for all the versions ?

Heh, you're imagining that Adobe's Director/SW team have plans ... or that they'd tell you if they did!
Why are you worried about 10.0.2.023 "expiring"? Why aren't you running 10.4.1.40?

Cant see video - Error msg: Adobe Shockwave Player crashed

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird on win 7 professional. It's been working fine up to 3 days ago. Now I get a message (on video sources) that Adobe Shockwave Player has crashed & am unable to view the video. I've un-installed shockwave & re-installed it to no avail. I also tried to go back to a sys restore point but only got 2 recent dates rather that a list of calender. I tried both dates & still not fixed.

Thunderbird does not play video and has nothing to do with how well Adobe products work. You might check with Adobe on fixing their software.

Shockwave Player Crash

Can anyone help - I've just bought a new Sony Vaio laptop -
latest spec etc etc but every time I try to go into a flash based
video chat room it crashes the browser.
I've tried this in Explorer (browser crashes & reboots),
Firefox (browser crashes & reboots) and Chrome (error message
says Shockwave Player has crashed).
I've turned off firewalls/antivirus in case that was the
problem, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash, ActiveX and
Shockwave but nothing works. Sony can't help as they say it's a
software problem.
Never had this problem with other laptops or desktops which
were all running the latest versions of Flash & Shockwave.
Graphics/Video card is: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470
Operating Sys: Vista Business (32 bit).
Please help, I can't think of what else to do and it's very
frustrating indeed.

Found a solution. See the info below from Chrome help. I chose the option to "To disable Adobe Flash completely, click the Disable link under its name." I had earlier tried to just disable one of the two, but that failed. All tests out OK after disable.

Adobe shockwave player crashing or hanging continually

Adobe shockwave player is always crashing when viewing random things. I have tried to update it. But I have the most current copy. I'm running the Firefox 25 and these are the most recent crash reports.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Adobe shockwave player crashing or hanging continues

This is still prevalent and I have had to disable the plugin for shockwave player. Similar was happening with adobe flash player but since the Firefox update it isn't happening as much. Is there a solution to solve this or is it a Adobe issue that they need to fix.? When it hangs or crashes it sometimes takes out downloads. I rolled back to the older dowload box because if I closed the browser it took the downloads out. Downloads don't crash as much with the older download box but with Firefox 20 ( with the new download style) the downloads died quickly with an error message the "file could not be read"
Also, is it okay to enable my add ons now, they were accentuating the problem as well.

Hi ezio.lucenti, I'm sorry your post at the end of this long thread hasn't been answered. What operating system do you run?
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with Flash on Windows. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Please note that from time to time, there are problems with specific sites, e.g., YouTube, related to specific add-ons, e.g., AdBlock Plus. So if you can narrow down the problem, then hopefully someone can provide a more specific solution.

Why is my shockwave player crashing and how will it be fixed?

I just recently encountered this kind of problem, i never had much of a problem with adobe plug-ins except for this one. I use three internet browsers safari chrome and explorer. And all say the shockwave player crashes, why? When I want to watch a vid online at lets say devour or youtube, I cant watch it coz its non responsive, when I try playing games online as well. and even the ads in the yahoo mail.. How will this be fixed?
HELP would be greatly appreciated..thank you.

AFAIK Youtube only requires Flash Player, not Shockwave Player.

Why does my flash and shockwave player crash

Whenever I run anything in google chrome with my flash player or shockwave player it says flash or shockwave has crashed. Why?

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Shockwave Player Crashing

I am soooooo frustrated with the Shockwave Player constantly crashing. It will even make my screen go black because it crashes so many times within a short period of time. It will also freeze my computer so that a lot of the time I am having to reboot. It will crash while playing games or while streaming movies. I am running Windows 7 (64-Bit) and using Firefox. I have tried using Chrome but have too many issues with that Browser and still had no luck with the problem. I have also uninstalled all and then re-installed so many times. Is there another Player I can use or can someone please tell me how to fix this permanently or at least so that it does happen as frequently. Thanks

The stability issues on Firefox are related to some underlying architecture issues specific to the NPAPI plug-in interface that Firefox uses (and which has gone largely unchanged since the '90s). While you can take some steps to improve stability, they come at the expense of leaving you at significant risk for malware infection.
We're in the early stages of a supporting Mozilla in an effort to build a modern plug-in sandbox (something all other browsers have finished doing over the last couple years), but those are non-trivial efforts and will probably be several months away at the earliest.
In the meantime, your best bet for both a secure an stable experience is to use either Internet Explorer 11 or Google Chrome.

Why is my shockwave player always crashing while playing zynga farmville2 on FB?

while playing zynga farmville2 on FB, shockwave player continually crashes. Sometimes it stops before the game finishes loading. I usually end up killing the page. I've used three different browsers and have problems in all three. I've updated google chrome and that hasn't helped. I have windows 7 starter edition.

I don't think these games are based on Shockwave Player; more likely Flash Player.
What is your Flash Player version?
What is your display adapter, driver version & date?

Why does the shockwave player keep crashing when I play farmville 2 on both the facebook and zynga websites?

I play farmville 2 on both the zynga and facebook websites. My shockwave player keeps crashing and is a very slow to load the game. This happens on all of the browsers I have used. Google chrome works better than some, firefox, icedragon and IE all are very slow to load the game and this take a lot of enjoyment out of the actual game play. Please help figure this out. I even keep clearing the cache and history, this does not help out much either.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

SHOCKWAVE PLAYER CRASH ON ALL THREE!!!!!1

every single time i go onto something that includes shockwave player (youtube excluded) the screen freezes and i need to x out of either firefox, safari, or google chrome y is this happening??? i reinstalled the shockwave player several times and now im getting irritated. help?

So how do I fix it? Why does it only work half of the time? This is what I get when I try this page:

When I try to update the shockwave player it asks for authorisation tick box then it says close fifefox which closes the whole thing down and back to square one, any help please

shockwave keeps crashing all the time so I tried to up date the shockwave player from the add on section. The problem here is that you have to tick the I agree box which then tells you firefox is in conflick and you have to close it down which takes you back to square one.

save the installation file to your hard disk, then close FF and run the installation file.

I am having a lot of difficulty configuring Shockwave Player

Just recently when I was using Shockwave Player to watch youtube videos in linux fedora 12.
It was working properly with color.
But the next day, that did not seem to happen!
The videos came in black and white and there were these distorted lines going accross and making the video not working properly.
I thought it to be a Shockwave Player plug-in crash and it was.
I am not able to watch videos like I would normally used to watch them.
However, not all videos have this problem.
I have made sure that the crash has happened to different browsers and not only one.
I cant uninstall the plug-in and when i try to update it, it says it has already been updated but the videos dont work still.
What should I do?

Hi, thanks for the additional info. The terms can be confusing. Flash Player is different than Shockwave Player, they are two separate programs. The youtube site uses Flash Player, not Shockwave Player.
Adobe Flash Player when Installed, Installs the Shockwave Flash plugin into all non-Internet Explorer browsers. The Shockwave Flash plugin is not separate from Adobe Flash Player. It is part OF it and is the Control needed so that Flash Player works. Keep in mind that Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru the browser.
Using FF, go back to that link I gave you and let me know if you can see the Flash Player logo animate(spin). Also what version of Flash Player is Displayed?
We'll get back to the hardware acceleration feature after you reply back with the above info.
Thanks,
eidnolb
