Why does my flash player keep crashing?

when I'm in the middle of playing games or streaming videos the screen goes blank with a grey dot in the center. It tells me to install the newest flash player (which I have to do in order to make things work at least 2 or 3 times a week) so I know I'm running the most up to date version. I've tried the steps on the flash support page on the main website but nothing works. it is very frustrating to not be able to run basic applications without needing to reinstall flash on a near daily basis. I would greatly appreciate some help.

What is your operating system & version?
What browser do you use?
What is your Flash Player version?
What is your display adapter?

  • 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

    Flash player always crashes and slows my browsing. Firefox is updated and so is flash player yet never works.

    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

  • Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

    I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back.  The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing.  I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help.  Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

    Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
    Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

  • Why does my Flash player freezes/crashes on all browsers. Mouse will flicker, etc

    I've reinstalled flash, cleared settings, cleared cache, checked on another user account, etc. All was working fine before I did a new SSD install. I copied the older hard drive to the SSD and everything else seems fine.
    When loading a page with flash on it, if its simple flash it may run but not allow you to scroll. If it is more complex like a video it freezes up, the mouse might disappear or flicker alot while this is happening.
    Other current issues include that the screenshot and grab program does not work. And some screen savers said they could not work on this version of OS X (I'm running 10.6.8)
    Thoughts? Could it be the graphic card even though it was working fine before?
    Thanks so much in advance

    Exiting FULL screen is triggered by one of three things.
    1. Pressing "ESC" on the keyboard - a "user input".
    2. Clicking the "toggle" on the player interface, which placed the video into FULL screen - again, a "user input".
    3. The page refreshing or new content loading in the page - can be "user input", or something like a javascript or ad in the page.
    Since Chrome uses its own "proprietary" plug-in, which functions independently of the ActiveX (IE) and Standard Plug-in (Firefox), you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and it'll have no effect on Chrome. You can't download or update "PepperFlash" from here.
    If you go to the Chrome Settings:
    Click "Show advanced settings..."
    and click "Reset browser settings"

  • Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing in Google Chrome

    I am using Google Chrome and every time I open the browser Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing.  I have Windows 7.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Hello,
    Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues. 
    using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
    Tried the DRM fix,
    Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
    Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
    Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    Also having problems on Chrome.
    Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
    When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.'  The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
    AIV works just fine on my iPad.
    For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
    This needs to get fixed asap!
    Thanks

  • Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

    Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?  I've updated everything, and there are no other issues.  It is OS X and Audition CS6.  When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice.  Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    What is the crash notice you receive?  OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs.  If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app  and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ?  The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

  • 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.
