WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! I just want to watch videos but Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing?!?

Question

Windows 7
Mozilla Firefox/3.6.12
Nvidia Geforce 10 or something (WHY DOES IT MATTER?! IT PLAYED VIDEOS BEFORE)

I am losing my mind. I'm gonna burn my house down with all of the anger induced steam coming out of my f*cking ears (Its a metaphor)

I have asked this before..Yesterday, in fact. I was told to uninstall it completely, UNINSTALL ALL FLASH PLUG INS, and then reinstall them, and reboot my computer. I did that, and it worked (Yay!)

But now, for no reason whatsoever..ITS CRASHING AGAIN!!!

No more Youtube :(
See, I access a video on Youtube, and the whole browser freezes completely for a few seconds, and then I get the error "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed"

This is a nightmare T_T

This computer has broughten me nothing but pain and frustration ;-;

Please help me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I'm so tired of people telling me to restart Firefox and my computer again and again
"download this"
"install this to uninstall that."
"uninstall this and reinstall it again"
"PAY 29.99 DOLLARS FOR A PROGRAM THAT YOU HAVE YET TO REALIZE IS A TOTAL SCAM THAT'LL BRING TORJANS INTO YOUR COMPUTER"

These problems never end. Why can't I have some sort of computer assistant guy by my side at all times? I don't know anything about computers T_T

Answer 1

Keep reloading flash is not the answer. Do the following in order. -- After you calm down.



You may well have some malware which could be causing the crashes.



1/ Uninstall firefox from add remove programs.



2/ Download CC cleaner from here and install. do the clean up. http://ccleaner.en.softonic.com/

3/ Download and install Mbam from here and run a quick scan http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Find out exactly which video card is installed in your system.



4/Then go to nvidia website (if this is what you have) and download newest video Display driver for your computer. It very important that you get exactly the right one so double check what you actually have, get the correct 32 bit or 64bit driver depending on which version of windows your are running. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us



Go and try utube again. If still no good then try a different browser like Google chrome and see what happens.

1) Open Device Manager



2) Find the sound-card device



3) Remember the name of the device



4) Uninstall it.



5) After doing this restart your system and update the drivers if they are not automatically updated.

There are many possible reasons for this kind of Crashing... 1. System Errors: Many errors in system or corrupt data in windows registry leads to crashes. First you need to fox those with any good software toll available such as RegInOut. It will also impact computer performance in positive way. 2.Virus or Trojans: If you find your Computer Crashes, run an updated virus scanner as you could have a virus. 3.Fragmented Disk: As files are added, deleted, and updated on a disk, the contents of the file can become spread across different sectors located in different regions of the disk. This is called file or disk fragmentation. Disk fragmentation can slow down your machine because the disk heads have to move back and forth to find all the fragments of a file. Windows comes with it's own disk defragmentation tool and the microsoft website explains how to run it. 4.Repair system files: When trying to solve Computer Crashes problem, the Last Known Good Configuration will only repair the registry data. But if there is something wrong with the system files, it will result in system instability or failure to log in the system. So a scan with the system command "SFC" is needed. Once a file is found to be missing or damaged, you will be prompted to insert the installing CD to restore the original file. You can go to Start -> run -> type "sfc /scan now" and then "Enter" to begin the scanning. By the way, please remember to use a patched CD to restore the system if the operating system in the installing CD is an older one, avoiding a restore to an older version.

Answer 4

calm down, first of all. this is a problem that is probably too ingrained inside windows for you to fix without reinstalling windows itself



and seeing as that might be out of your expertise. i would advise that you download Google Chrome . its a browser like firefox, and some people say its better, some say firefox is better. I say they are just about equal.



except that Chrome has adobe flash built in you dont need to download plugins or anything.



if youtube plays fine in chrome than you have a bad firefox/flash installation.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C



First open CCleaner

Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.

To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:

Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.

Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.

afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.

The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.

If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)

The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).

Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.

Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.
