Shockwave Player 10.3.181.26/Firefox 5 problem?

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 (Gateway laptop with windows 7, if that makes a difference) and when I tried to watch a youtube video, it said I had to download the latest flash player, which gave me Shockwave Player 10.3.181.26 in my plugins. Now since I've done that, I've experienced this problem where sometimes the whole computer will freeze for a couple seconds and then just cut to a black screen, while the cpu is still on and I can still see the light shinging from below the screen on too.
Im wondering if this is the pflash player itself, or the problem with firefox 5. It happens every so often now and I have to turn off my computer manually each time because it won't go away. What's the problem? Please help

I use the latest Flash Player with Firefox 5 (on Windows 7), and I do not see any such problem.
Try to
update your display adapter drivers
disable Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)

Reproducible Shockwave player error under Mac OSX 10.6.3

I develop Shockwave "jigsaw" puzzles with Director. Sample at kayingleside.com. My clients are experiencing problems with the most recent Shockwave player under Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. Play a jigsaw at the above web site to experience the problem.
When you click on a puzzle piece it vanishes. You can drag the mouse around as you would to move the puzzle piece but it is difficult to position correctly as the piece is invisible. When you release the mouse button the piece reappears correctly in it's repositioned location.
I can reproduce this behavior myself on a Mac 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. 2 GB 800 MHz DDR-2 FB-DIMM; OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3; Shockwave player 11.5.9r620. The problem does NOT appear when playing the jigsaw puzzle within Director 11 under Snow Leopard nor when running OSX 10.5.8.

Unable to Install Macromedia Shockwaver Player

I have installed Macromedia Shockwaver Player before without
any problems. However, when I tried to install it on my laptop
computer with Windows 2000 Professional, it got an error while it
was installing. The error states "Could not load the DLL library
C:\WINNT\system32\Kernel32.dll (GetSystemWow64DirectoryA). The
specified procedure could not be found." Now, I have just installed
Shockwave the day before on this very same computer with everything
the same on it. I had to reformat my hardrive and reinstall
Windows, but again, I did the reformat and reinstall couple times
before and installed Shockwave Player without having run into this
problem. I'd like anyone to suggest what the problem might be and
help me resolve it.

Well, Adobe obviously has done all their versions of
Shockwave Player to not support Win2k any more, because it was just
last week I was able to visit sites that requires Shockwave Player
without getting the DDL error. Now, I'm not able to either install
or visit sites that requires Shockwave. The following is what I
requested of Adobe and got from them and then requested again:

I find the response from Samuel really useless. To start
with, I am pretty sure that this problem is due to Adobe's fault,
for I hav
e successfully able to install and use Adobe Shockwave just a
week ago. Now this new problem started occuring late last week, and
I
have posted my problem on Adobe's Shockwave forum. One can
visit it at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?
forumid=44&catid=185&threadid=1328948&enterthread=y
. As someone who reads, it was just not me who was having the
problem, and I was
able to make the conclusion that Adobe has suddenly stopped
support for any Windows OS prior to XP. However, that forum is only
vis
isted by web users who are not really able to solve specific
problem except maybe at giving some pointers. Now Mr. Samuel V. has
als
o given me links to Shockwave FAQ and Shockwave Player
Support Site. I want to now emphasize that I have visited both
those sites an
d read thoroughly the contents there, but was unable to solve
my current problem, and that was why I made a contact Customber
Servic
e. As for Samuel's help, I kindly appreciate. However, I am
displeased at this response since it does get me anywhere near my
soluti
on. I hope he or someone would kindly contact Adobe for
someone who can help in getting this solved. Since he has given me
an ID num
ber, Adobe staffs can easily view my original issue,
furthermore, I hereby have given the link to the Shockwave forum
page where I p
osted my original problem and where others are having the
same issue. For now, I wait for a satisfactory reply from anyone
who is wi
lling to help.

Shockwave Player 12.1 install help destination select

So I'm trying to install shockwave player but when I get to the destination select part I can not click on any of the disk and continue.For the macintosh Hd disk it says : adobe shockwave not supported on this OS version
(I upgraded my macbook to OS X Yosemite a couple of days ago)
and on the adobe shockwave 12 disk it says Adobe shockwave Player 12.1 can't be installed on this disk.The contents of this disk can't be changed.
Prior to this I uninstalled the shockwave player.Oddly that took about 2 seconds to complete.
I really need shockwave for interactive videos for school.Everything used to work well but I don't know what happened.
Please Help me...
How can I successfully install shockwave player?

I had the same problem on an iMac but managed to download and install shockwave 11, see Adobe - Webplayer
There appeared a notice for incompatibility, but was able to continue installation. Apps (not requiring sw 12) did run after.

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Mac Problems with Flash Player 10.3.181.34

Hallo,
I have installed Flash Player 10.3.181.34 and it works fine, when I tried to change my desktop-picture in the system settings it doesn't work. There was a crash-report that told me: Perhaps the crash comes from the flash-plugin. After I uninstall the Flash Player 10.3.181.34 , there was no problem to change the desktop-picture. Is there somebody, have the same problem.

Hello roboz79
I have a Windows XP/IE8 follow the instructions below. P.S. the settings is the key to making it all work.
#1 As a user, I'd recommend uninstalling the debug player and grabbing the normal version. You'll get better performance and these errors won't pop up on you. P.S. "Start from scatch" uninstall shockwave or any other Adobe plug-in or Adobe programs "before you reninstall".
#2
Settings:
"left click" and under setting/display/-Enable hardware acceleration/Privacy/-deny/Local storage/-100KB/record volume/-somewhere in the middle works/Camera/-Not sure if you have one?
#3
Global Settings:
Click start/ control panel/ Flash Player Icon/Local Storage Settings/-Allow sites to save information on this computer/Camera and Mic/-Ask me when a site wants to use the camera or microphone (Recommended)/ Playback/-Ask me when a site want to use a peer-assisted networking/ Advanced/-Check for updates automatically (Recommended).
then re-boot and hopefully everything will work....I hope lol
Best Regards

Shockwave player is either busy or has stop working...this happens all the time. How can I correct this problem?

Every five minutes or so I keep getting warning signs that Shockwave player is either busy or has stopped working do I want to continue or stop plugin. How can I fix this problem? I have refreshed firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed and still this problem persists.

Shockwave player strange problem

my problem is really strange to me, i am not sure if someone here can tell me what happen.
i have a desktop and 3 users running shockwave with no problems, all chrom, firefox or IE.
Few months ago, i forgot how long exactly it was, the shockwave player start to crash in my user account, i did not access to check whether the other two account in my desktop. i try with difference browser, IE or Firefox (i mainly use chrome) all of them are not work. First crash then the screen turn into green.
i try to uninstall or reinstall all flash player & shockwave player but no luck, i finally restore my computer to about a month ago and its work again.
i did not realise that my wife's account and the other were not able to play video in youtube or any shockwave require web page. i again try to uninstall or reinstall all flash & shockwave again & again but with no luck and when no other option, i try to create a 4th user account but not work also.
because the other two accounts does not create any restore point, so i cannot use the old trick to restore it.
today, i try to reinstall a new win7 and the same problem appear.
my suspect is that must be on window 7 update cause this problems.
does anyone know how is this happen and how to solve it?
million thanks in advance.

i have compare the normal user account and the problems user account's windows update history and they are identical, i was suspect that it was the problem source but now this possibility does not exist anymore.
anyone knew?

Shockwave player crashes in Firefox

There is a game called Inklink on shockwave.com (fun game).
Its pretty much the only shockwave game I play. My problem is that
the game crashes constantly if I try to play it using Firefox. The
crashes are random but they often happen just seconds after the
game has loaded. I know other people who play this game using
Firefox and they have no problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to
why I do?

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with Flash. 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?]

Attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17, on WIndows 7, Firefox 36.0.1-why did I never used to have a problem?

I am using Windows 7, Firefox 36.0.1, and attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17. I never had problems until about a year ago, the way the installation & set up was so easy...now, I fight with it for days every month when a new update is ready. There used to be 2-3 easy steps to follow; now I click to download, watch the diagram until it finishes, find the icon on my desktop, and click it again (presumbly to download & install), and it disappears. I do not know where or how to see it; a few minutes later I go to my Firefox Plug in Check page...and it shows that it still is not update! So I go through the whole friggan process again...WHY????

Hello,
Please do the following:
Download the uninstaller, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
Download the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section
Run the uninstaller
Reboot your system
Run the installer
After installation completes, go to Flash Player Help and click on the 'Check Now' button. The results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

Shockwave Player won't work with my Firefox 2.0

I wonder if you can help me in the way of a "things to check"
list? I have downloaded and installed the Shockwave and Flash
players, however when I'm trying to play Shockwave Games it tells
me that there is no Shockwave Player plugin compatible with my
Browser. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.2 on MS Windows XP Pro, and I'm
trying to play Couronne King at
http://www.king.com.
Thanks in advance - if you need to know more please
ask.

I blame Adobe; I blame Shockwave. In my view it's pro-IE,
pro-Microsoft. I Installed Firefox 2.0.0.1 and I have wrestled with
Shockwave to work Firefox as it does with IE. Waste of time and
effort so far.

Huge IE7-Flash/Shockwave Player Problem

i just installed IE7 (7.0.5730.11) and wanted to try it out
on some demanding pages, like those with flash animations,
shockwave games and integrated media players. everything worked
fine until i went to www.miniclip.com and started the robot rage
game (
http://www.miniclip.com/games/robot-rage/en/).
signing in was successful and also the choose robot page had no
problems, but after i chose a robot and got to the workshop every
single click caused an "iexplore.exe - Application Error" - The
instruction at [eg.] "0x77ec3593" referenced memory at
"0x00000010". The memory could not be "read". OK>terminate,
CANCEL>debug!
i tried it several times, set all possible IE security and
advanced settings to lowest possible, everywhere "enable" where
possible, ran ccleaner (cleaned temp, cookies etc.), restarted my
notebook and the problem still occurs. sometimes it just hapens
when i get to the first page where the shockwave application starts
(there the "send error report" window comes up and the MS crash
analysis tells me that Macromedia has published a new version of
the flash player (i definitely have the most recent one), but
mostly i manage to sign in, choose a robot and then when i'm on the
workshop page every single click anywhere leads to the application
error.
since the latest flash player/shockwave player issues are
from july 21, i supose the problem is indeed caused by the flash
player, not IE7, since it's not been updated after the end-user
version of IE7 had been released.
if anyhow possible, this issue should be reported to Adobe (i
am not a commercial Adobe customer, so i cannot do that) so they
can fix that and release a new version of flash/shockwave
player

i apologize, i didn't see that i posted it in the wrong
forum; should be in the flash/shockwave player forum

Youtube/Firefox/Flash player 10.3.181.34 bug

Hi, i have a weird problem with flash player on youtube. If i press esc while watching a video on youtube the flash player plugin crash.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open firefox.
2. Open youtube.
3. Open any youtube video
4. Change to full screen.
5. Press esc.
Result: flash player crashes.
I don't have this problem with embedded youtube videos, just with www youtube com.
Downgrading to Flash Player 10.2.159.1 or disabling hardware acceleration fixes the problem.
This problem started when youtube changed their video frame to black some weeks ago...
So i'm confused i don't know if it is a Youtube problem, flash player problem, firefox problem or something else.
Pc spec:
Intel core 2 duo E7300
nvidia 8400 gs

Hi, surfing in the web i find a feasible workaround "A quick fix is to swap watch?v= with embed/ in the URL" from ubuntu forums "http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10516541&postcount=6".
I follow your advice and filed a new bug report fp-7485 but i dont' know why(security reason maybe) it's flagged as private.
I hesitate to upgrade the nvidia driver to the latest version 275.33 due a bug not fixed yet that messed up the nvidia control panel, the profiles, etc. But as soon as they fix it i will try.
