stupid flash

[sfreeman8]

I never have the problem (knock on wood) on this site, but on many other sites I visit, it crashes many once or twice, but not much more than that and not every day.

I have a 2005 computer so I don't think age has anything to do with it. I remember Chrome sent a warning about it and told us what to do to eliminate or cut down on a lot of crashes. If you use Chrome, go to the Chrome support pages and search for Flash or Shockwave crashes, you may be able to find the answer there.

I usually use google and when I am viewing a lot of videos on another site, my computer crashes at least once a day and sometimes twice. I have to re-boot.

There are also all kinds of other messages about shockwave or google did not shut down correctly or I do not have the latest version of adobe flash.

I thought that it was just that I have an old computer but maybe not .......

As I said before, I have a 2005 computer. Even when Flash crashes, I get the message and I have the option to reload or close it. I usually reload. I never have to reboot my computer.

Occasionally, Adobe crashes for me here on Fusion, but it crashes more on a site which has more and longer videos.  If Adobe doesn't crash, it seems like Chrome does.  One or the other seems to crash at least once per week with these dang videos.  I've even had days where something has crashed multiple times.  It is maddening and frustrating.  Why...I'd like to know!?!?.

I'll be happy when sites stop using Flash. It is a pain.

I get a lot of shock wave crashes. It is very frustrating, especially of Radio Loyalty because it has to be refreshed and the 30 minute time starts all over again.

Yes, Adobe flash keeps crashing on me all the time.

I have not had that issue yet.

Recently the Shockwave Flash crashes had been constant.  I was wondering what was the difference between Adobe Flash and Adobe Shockwave Flash and why there is both etc. I the course of that search, it said if Shockwave was crashing a file had gotten corrupt and to reinstall.  I tried it and so far I have not gotten the message about Shockwave.  Still have some slow loading scripts.  It only took a minute or two to reinstall,  it was certainly worth the time.  I should probably try doing it to Flash and see if that cleans up the remaining.
