Quovadis Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 On every computer I owned , Flashplayer kept crashing every time I opened youtube or even FA forums. Is there a fix or do flash player just sucks? Quote
Castiel** Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, what do you use for browsing? Firefox? Try re-installing flash player and installing an older version. I think that might help. ~Cass! Edited October 27, 2012 by Castiel Quote
ajnl Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Weird, try re-installing it? Or try a different browser, I'd suggest using google chrome. Quote
Wifestein Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Flash crashes for me a lot lately since the new version.. they gotta fix that! Quote
Castiel** Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Try uninstalling the newest version of flash player and installing the older version, 10.0.45.2 [Here]. I think that might help. ~Cass! Quote
SkyeDarkhawk Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 What information does the crash give you? Can you explain "crash" in more detail? What web browsers have you tried flash with? Is it only with certain websites? Have you tried enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in flash? Have you tried increasing/decreasing the amount of available storage for flash? Did you install flash in a restricted location? What OS are you using? Is it up to date? Have you updated all your available drivers? Is your PC overclocked/underclocked/stock? Have you tried changing this? Have you looked in the Event Viewer under the Application heading to see what exactly is crashing? Quote

SkyeDarkhawk Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 If it seems to be crashing in Firefox, what plugins/extensions do you have installed? Have you tried disabling them? Do you use Antivirus/Antispyware software? If so, which ones? Have you tried to see if disabling it fixes it? Is it up to date? Have you added exceptions for Firefox? For Flash? Quote
Liquid Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 It happened to me. I think it was caused by multiple versions of flash running. http://www.howtogeek.com/103292/how-to-fix-shockwave-flash-crashes-in-google-chrome/ Just follow that and it should fix it. Quote
Quovadis Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 It happened to me. I think it was caused by multiple versions of flash running. http://www.howtogeek...-google-chrome/ Just follow that and it should fix it. It wasn't exactly the issue but I searched on my computer and found out I had 2 installations of Flashplayer with my OS. Pretty much the same as the bug in Chrome. Thanks man! Quote
Quovadis Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Btw , didn't fix it finally. It crashes instantly when a second process of flash player opens. The 2 are opened from the same location ( and .exe ). I need to find what open opens the second process of flashplayer. Quote
Liquid Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 It depends on your browser. I believe chrome and firefox have their own version of flash which is causing the crash and that is the one you need to disable, that way whenever you open the browser you use, it will use the actual version of flash, rather than the built in one of the broweser. Refer to the link I posted previously and when it shows you how to disable it, it also shows you WHICH ONE to disable - you can tell by looking at the directory. Quote
Quovadis Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 I don't have flash player installed on any browser , its installed as a program on my pc. I know it is not caused by a browser , I explored every solutions and none solved my problem. I am sure another process runs a process of flash after my browser normally opens one. I looked into it , every browser uses the same process of flash . Another program launches a second process of flashplayer and cause de crash. I have the feeling that program might be xfire ; it does have an integrated browser function for when you are in-game. I will do processexplorer to confim it. Quote
