Shockawave flash crashing

Former Member

Heyy guys,

Shockwave flash is constantly crashing and it's driving me insane. I use google chrome, and windows 7 starter. When I'm on google chrome, shockwave flash must crash at least 3 or 4 times a day.

What can I do?? It's so annoying, it makes my whole computer freeze for ages and be mega slow.

Thanks

Chrome has flash built in, which can cause conflicts if you have the standalone install of flash running as well.

Type 'chrome: plugins'* into the url bar and, if there are two versions of flash, disable one of them.

I have adobe flash player and adobe shockwave player, which one do I disable?

I only have "Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.6.602.171" - so I'd suggest disabling the shockwave one first. If you have problems try swapping them

Just making sure: Are you in chrome too? Shockwave (different than Shockwave Flash, strange as that may be) is an "old" thing that went out of use long before chrome existed.

This is what my plugins look like:



I disabled the Chrome specific one; you can tell by looking at the file location.

Solved my crashes.
