How Do I Stop Flash Player From Storing Cache?

Windows XP SP3
Latest Flash Player (i just upgraded it to the latest as of today)
There are a couple of directories on my HDD that appear to be the place where Flash stores cache.
One of them is (#1):
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
The other is (#2):
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#sharedobjects
These directories were so bloated with subdirectories that it literally took about 12 HOURS OR MORE to delete everything in them! I'm not kidding.
There must have been 100,000 subfolders or maybe even more in these folders. They were choking everything on my computer that had to read past them.
I FINALLY was able to delete everything from them after hours of work.
Now I want to keep them empty, so this doesn't happen again but I can't find out how to do that. It is so dang frustrating. I looked and looked for a way to shut this storage off.
I finally found the online "Settings Manager" and thought I FINALLY solved the problem after setting the "Global Storage" setting to "Never" and unchecking the "Allow third party Flash content to be stored on your computer" and "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" boxes.
BUT NO!!!
It didn't do a thing. I looked at those two folders again and they are still being filled up with new subfolders!!!!
UUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
How do I keep Flash Player from storing this unwanted mess on my computer?!
Thank you for ANY HELP!

PS:
Before I set the global settings as I stated above, I DELETED all the "Websites already visited" from the list in Settings Manager so that ALL Websites would be set according to the global settings.
But none of that did a thing to stop the new folders from being created anyway. How do I stop them??!!!

How to stop Flash player from incessently crashing.

Your help page gives a FP icon and says to right click it to get to settings so I can turn off something. However, right clicking does not work on your web page. Since I need to get to the settings to shut off auto scaling, I tried starting a FP movie and right clicking but none of the options was for "settings". So, now what should I do? Not sure that removing the auto scaling will solve this incessant problem but I'd like to try it. How do I get to FP setting without the two (failed) methods, above?s
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but that was no help. I have Win8.1 on a Surface Pro using FP 16. I have downloaded and reinstalled numerous times. The error message is the typical Adobe FB message. I often click on report before I restart the program.
Also, can you recommend a Flash Player replacement, assuming this problem is unresolvable (it has been several weeks now and it is getting worse)? Thanks,
Dan Morgan

I have had a similar problem, it's been going on for more than a year, and it is driving me CRAZY! It makes accessing the internet a crapshoot. Sometimes Flash will play nice, but never for more than a day at a time. Then it freezes, or crashes, or just sllllloooooowwwwwsdown to a crawl, teetering on the edge of crashing like a circus high wire stunt, thus making accessing even simple emails nearly impossible. It in essence has hijacked my computer.
I have Version 40.0.2214.111 m I've tried the about:plugins and disabled the conflicting Flash plugin. I have tried do hard disc scans and repairs, malware scans, virus scans, disabling virus software, I've followed this step and that, laid out in a form of Tech-English that's a foreign language to me. I clean my cache every two days, I've done half a dozen system\ restores -- nothing -- NOTHING has worked so far. Trying to find help for this like pulling teeth without Novacaine. It seems no one else in the world except me has ever heard of this problem, never mind experienced it.
If I can't find a solution by March 1, I'm ditching Chrome/Flash, plugging my nose, and going over to IE

How do I stop Adobe Flash Player from crashing my computer whenever I play a flash video using Mozilla?

Whenever I try to play a flash video my PC completely crashes or freezes.

If Flash videos actually crash your entire computer, rather than causing [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] notice, try this:
Turn off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings (Right-click on any Flash video, click "Settings", select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration".

How can I stop flash player from randomly switching between audio devices in Win7?

I have two audio devices in my machine. The internal onboard Realtek (optical out -> surround setup) + Line6 UX1, external usb (for guitar inputs/amp sim).
I switch between them as needed. The flash player does this too, but always when I don't need it to.
Example. A youtube video finishes. The sound came from the speakers, as it should. I click the next one. It starts playing but there's no sound - except from the headphones connected to the UX1. This happens once or twice a day.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Chrome, Win7 64bit.

I don't know what more we can do other than to enter a bug at bugbase.adobe.com and have someone take a look. I suspect switching interfaces while Flash is in use will be unsupported. In the bug report, it'll be good to note if this is new behavior (ie. it started behaiving like this in 11.3, but 11.2 and older were fine). However, the key to getting this fixed will be to get other users running into the same problem to vote for the bug.
You might also want to play around with third party mixers, like http://www.actualsolution.com/power_mixer/

Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, but it's up to date on my computer. So is Firefox. Help?

For some reason, starting today, every page I visit on Firefox (no matter what) comes up with a notification that the Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. It started when I was trying to attach a word document to an email to one of my professors on my Google-supported school email account. Every time I tried to attach the document, Flash Player crashed and it wouldn't upload. I finally had to send it using my Live email, which worked, but now Flash Player crashes on every webpage I visit in about 2 seconds. My Flash Player is up to date, as is my version of Firefox. What's going on here? (Note: None of the information of the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" page was helpful at all.)

Yes, this has been a problem for a lot of people. ADOBE just released Flash Player 11.0.1.152, and that seems to have fixed the problem. It still am finding it a bit laggy to load Flash scripts, but it no longer displays the crashed window.
You can download the file from the official Flash website here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:

I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

ok   here's more mystery. i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step. aqlso installed latest java. i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                       imdb
                                                                                       hulu
                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn
                                                                                       reuters
                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Firefox crashes firefox will load but i keep geting a flash player has crashed box . it popes up in the middle of the page.

fire fox will come up and the flash player has crashed box will pop up in the middle of the page. how do i fix the flash player. i tried loading the new version of flash player it did not fix it.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Flash Player continually crashing.

When in Firefox trying to read Yahoo Flash crashes within a few seconds. Reset page, crashes again within a few seconds. Go to another page, crashes within a few seconds. Have to go through a "close" selection process each time. Vista home occurence report says " ShimEng.dll_unloaded" as cause. How to fix? Where is this dll available, where to load it? No luck so far with Adobe advice. Fresh reload of Flash Player still crashes. Yahoo videos cannot be viewed, etc. Am an elderly dummy with PC's. need help in basic plain language please.
I suspect that the trouble initiated by trouble makers trying to load a bad Trojan by offering to "update Windows Drivers???" . Luckily Kaspersky stopped them. Any help very much appreciated. Roy.

Unfortunately, this isn't a Flash Player crash. It's crashing down in the guts of your operating system.
When I see operating system files start getting corrupted on my own computer, I usually operate on the assumption that either my hard disk is on it's way out, or I have a malware infection. Since you're talking about Trojans, I'm thinking there's a good chance that you're in the second camp. If it's been a while since you've backed up your important data, I'd make that your first priority. I wouldn't bother backing up the operating system and applications, but all of your photos and documents, etc. USB memory sticks can also be infected with malware at the hardware level and can re-infect your computers, so I'd go with an external hard disk or something.
Once you've got your stuff backed up, I'd spend an evening reinstalling the operating system. You haven't mentioned it specifically, but I'm thinking that you'e on Windows Vista. If you're taking the time to reinstall the OS, I'd recommend thinking seriously about upgrading to Windows 7 as part of that process. The Win7 upgrade is less than $100 on Amazon. The vast majority of Windows users are on Win7 at this point (Vista is < 10% last time I checked), so much more effort goes into making sure that software works well on Win7.

My flash player keeps crashing on a lot of sites i go to

my flash player keeps crashing on a lot of sites i go to especially ebay and it says adobe flash player crashed click here to reload. this never happened on my xp os but i recently installed win 7 64 bit on my pc but i also did a clean install with a brand new hd so how can i prevent this from happening

Download the following files by right clicking the links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as"(Firefox).
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer
Save the files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything, go to the Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLERS to remove all instances of Flash Player and Shockwave.
Run the Shockwave Installer first, then visit http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFull&P2_Plat form=Win32&P3_Browser_Version=MSIE with Internet Explorer, (there isn't a direct download link - sorry) and install the Shockwave FULL installer for IE.
Next, run the Flash Player ActiveX installer, and then the Flash Player (other browsers) Installer.
Lastly, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

Stop flash player security panel

Hi,
I want to stop flash player security panel to appear every time in my video recorder. I apply allow and remember but still popup appears. How I can stop this popup if once user chooses allow and remember?
Thanks,

The security pop-up was first introduced with FP7. If you want to bypass it I can name two ways off the top of my head:
1. Regardless of ActionScript version (2.0/3.0) in the Flash authoring enviroment, in the Publish Settings dialogue box, the Flash tab, near the bottom choose Access Network Only from Local Playback Security.
2. Publish your movie as a projector. Both of these techniques will allow to "play" your swf file locally.

Last flash player from Adobe is broken

Hello
Last flash player from Adobe seems to be broken when using with Chatroulette:
on Macbook Air camera stopped working
on iMac 27" works, but Safari takes 100% cpu (when Flash Player is running with Chatroulette)
Other users experience the same
My configuration
Mac OS 10.6.4
Flash Player: 10.1.102.64, 10,1,103,19
Safari, Chrome
I tried re-installing Flash Player, creating new account, changing language, changing browsers, running Disc Utility = nothing helped
I tried downloading Chrome because I heard there is different version of Flash Player (10,1,103,19)
Result is same.
Hardware is brand new, operating system is brand new. Everything worked until last flash update.
Please assist! Some of our users experience the same problems
As a temporary solution I have installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2 but it is unstable and our users cannot do that. However it works
Thanks much
Andrey

This is STILL an issue.   There is something badly broken in the Mac version of Flash 10.   I have a brand new macbook pro, and had the original install of flash 9. My cameras worked fine.   When I upgraded to 10 -- and yes, I *did* uninstall the previous version -- I lost the ability to config my camera, since it stopped appearing in the control panel dialog.
I uninstalled Flash 10, saying many not-so-nice things about Adobe and their exceptionally poor QA in the process, and re-installed Flash 9.   Sure enough, my cam worked like a charm.
Hey Adobe guys:   If you are reading these forums, PLEASE try to fix this!!!! Downgrading is only a temporary fix, as more and more sites are specifically requiring for Flash 10.
GET YOUR QA TEAM TO TEST THIS!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
