Default Adobe Flash player keeps crashing

Win7 64bit on Dell Studio 15 with Core i7, 4GB. The computer is fairly clean after a recent reinstall. This time I'm using a different browser, different antivirus, and hardly any installed software.

However, on both installations, Flash (mainly for YouTube) works fine for a while and then it crashes every time. Removing and reinstalling flash sometimes works.

I've searched for info and can't find a similar situation.

Any suggestions apart from: Flash is crap, get a Mac etc?

Hi John have look on this:

On Windows 7:

right-click on the 'Computer' icon on the desktop and select Properties

on the System panel that pops up, click on Device Manager on the left hand pane

click on the drop-down ( ▹ ) left of Display Adapter; this will list your display adapter

right-click on it and select Properties

click on the Driver tab; this will show you the driver date and version

If yo have ATi graphic card please have look for drivers here

if you have Intel HD

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx

This can be issue with your graphic,second thing download Google chrome and this will be better option for you

Thanks. Radeon driver was from 2009, even asking Windows to update it says it was up to date, but have manually updated it now.

Oddly, Chrome, Firefox and IE8 all crashed, but IE9 doesn't.

Hi John what i know with Chrome and Firefox you are probably have installed new Shockwave player 11 and please uninstall Shockwave 11,download older Shockwave player 10.2 which is not prone to crash on FF or Chrome from this link http://www.filehippo.com/download_shockwave/2565/

Thanks. I had disabled the included shockwave player 11 and downloaded flash player 11 from Adobe instead, but that still crashed until I tried IE9. Thinking back, all my crashes have been since flash player 11.
