Why does ADOBE FLASH Crash with XP, CHROME, 32 bit system

XP, Chrome, 32 bit system, Adobe flash version:  11.6.602.171 .  Why does flash crash on a daily basis? (sometimes numerous times a day)

PROBLEM SOLVED. There were two versions of Flashplayer installed. I re-ran Flash Aid and it sorted the problem.
Why does Adobe not resolve this problem at installation or upgrade time????

    Try to uninstall your current Flash version and update Flash to the latest version.

  • Why does adobe flash crash on facebook cafe game

    After I installed the security update a few days ago, cafe game on facebook crashes and other games are slow
    == I updated the security update a few days ago.

    Hi Marie's husband,
    If you feel safer with Firefox 3.6.6 and prefer to use that then that's fine. Firefox 3.5.10 was only meant to be a temporary fix until the problems with "plugin-container.exe" were resolved one way or the other, then you could update to the latest version. According to the release notes Firefox 3.5.10 should have the same security updates as Firefox 3.6.4.
    As an alternative to Firefox 3.5.10, I just found some information about how to disable "plugin-container.exe" at the following link:
    Disable plugin-container: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/706123?#threadId706192]
    I haven't actually tried disabling "plugin-container.exe" in Firefox 3.6.6, so I can't tell you whether this works or not. I've listed it as an option, in case you want to use Firefox 3.6.6 and are still having problems. I may try it myself later. There is more discussion in the link above, which you should read, so you can make a more informed decision.
    I hope you find this info useful.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

    PROBLEM SOLVED. There were two versions of Flashplayer installed. I re-ran Flash Aid and it sorted the problem.
    Why does Adobe not resolve this problem at installation or upgrade time????

  • Why does adobe try to force Google Chrome on to my computer and a Google Toolbar! Thats is fasist!

    also why does adobe require so many updates! why can't they get it right the first five hundred time i update it!
    why cant i update or down load with out having to get google tool bar to be spyied on? WTF? And Google Chrome if i wanted Google Chrome i down load it directly!
    Google collecting and storing information is an invasion of privacy! If Adobe is so free thinking and so advanced, ask if we want ******** toolbars downloaded it sucks when you think your down loading something and get a new webpage and toolbars. Dont do business this way. Its arrogant & ignorant

    Adobe never installed anything on my computer I didn't want.  You can always uncheck bundled software that is offered with the standard downloads, or use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd party software.

  • Yoga 13: Adobe Flash crashing with Transitions?

    Whenever I have Firefox open and flip from laptop to tent or tablet mode, Adobe Flash crashes.  This is a major annoyance because really the only time I go from laptop to tent or tablet mode is when I am watching a video within Firefox.  I've searched Google but haven't found anything... I have the latest version of Flash (11.6.602.180) and the latest version of Transitions I've found on this horrible Lenovo site.
    Has anyone else experienced the same problem, and have you found a fix?  Thanks in advance!

    I, too am having this issue - however instead of crashing, my PC usually slows down.  For anyone at Lenovo that cares to actually test this issue - just open up any web browser and watch a YouTube  video.  Play the video in laptop mode.  Then when you're done, switch to tablet mode and play it again.  That same video will either become choppy or crash.  Likewise, when I try to use a program to play DRM videos (Vudu) or play flash-enabled games I have the same issue.  I have tried to look at task manager and do a comparison of programs running before and after transition to tablet mode, and all I can see is a .1% spike in memory usage by Lenovo Transition.  
    I think this is a more recent problem as I don't remember this being an issue from the start, but I can't identify how recent.  I used to play a game called SoulCraft from the Windows 8 store back in January.  This game is most easily played in tablet mode, and it played perfectly.  It quickly got old and I stopped playing after about a week.  I came back to it about 4 weeks ago but it was choppy in tablet mode.  When in laptop mode it plays fine.  So I reckon that this issue came with a software update that occurred sometime between late Jan and early Apr.  That's just my speculation, though.  I have also installed/uninstalled programs which may be messing with the transition software.  

  • Why does Adobe Flash player crash so much?

    This is not the first version of FireFox that Adobe Flash player crashes on. It happens 2, sometimes 3 times a day, my browser locks up for 45 seconds or so then I see the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" yet again.
    I've read the forums, tried suggestions but it continues to crash.
    I want to keep using Firefox, but I'll have to switch to chrome and just use firefox for the better firebug.
    I'm sure this is adobes issue and not firefox, but there's not much I can do.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

    Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
    I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
    A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
    This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
    and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
    I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
    but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
    HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?
    ((((Note: I haven't been in here for over a year, and have no idea what email account you
    have listed, or even how to find out. Thus, please send reply to: RogerHimesCoach at G mail dot com.))))

    I'm sorry you're going through this.  I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4.  Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.  If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot.  You can download it here:

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player 11.9 keep installing over and over on Windows Internet Explorer?

    I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.9. When I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash Player (i.e. NBC News.com) the system keeps asking me to install Adobe Flash Player 11.9. However, Adobe Flash Player 11.9 is ALREADY installed on my system and is working fine. Each time I try to re-install Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't do anything except go through the installation process. Tell me how to stop the notifications.

    You've probably got cached files that keep sending outdated info to pages you visit.
    Download this file: Deep Clean.zip
    Close IE. Check your task manager to be sure the iexplore.exe process is terminated.
    Unzip the file.
    Double click the deepclean_set.bat file.
    A command prompt window will open and your Disk Cleanup settings manager will open too.
    Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
    Then double click the deepclean_run.bat file.
    Again, a comman prompt window will open, and your Disk Cleanup will run, clearing many more files than the standard cleanup does. It WILL take a while to cleanup.
    When it finishes, you can delete the deepclean_set.bat file as you won't need it again, but keep the deepclean_run.bat as it can be used to "deep clean" your disk whenever you need it. Save it in your documents folder.
    Afterward, open IE again and go back to NBC. You shouldn't see any prompt to upgrade anymore.

  • Why does Adobe Flash keep trying to uninstall?

    Sometimes when I go to a random web page (today I was on Macrumors), adobe flash player opens a window
    asking if I want to "proceed with uninstallation". I'm really confused... is this a virus or something? It's happened
    periodically when I go to various different sites, always popping up with the same window and trying to uninstall.
    Is there some solution to this?

    Go here and install Flash regardless if you need it or not.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If the problem continues, you may have the FlashBlock trojan installed download the free ClamXav and run a scan, keep running one every other day.
    Right now it's new and not everyone has a line on it yet to make a up a definition.
    Apple will of course update the safe downloads, perhaps provide info how to remove it
    What it sounds like is when you visit a web page with Flash, something installed is trying to get you to remove it, like prankware.
    I suspect you could have picked this up at a Mac site like MacRumors...someone with a grudge again our most cherished and loved Abode Flash!
    Where would the wonderful World Wide Web be without it?
