Re: Shockwave Flash Crash Shawn (Googler) 3/18/09 2:44 PM If this issue is consistent across all browsers, then it isn't a problem specific to Google Chrome and you may want to bring this up with Adobe Flash.

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash col.mcnamara 3/24/09 11:31 AM I posted this before on a similar thread, but this should solve astha87's issue: ok, I believe I found a fix, at least to this issue, and it had nothing to do with flash, even though it crashed shockwave flash on chrome and FF. The issue is that ther
Re: Shockwave Flash Crash Finster 3/24/09 7:29 PM FYI, removing a file from System32 will not be a permanent fix as Windows will almost immediately replace the file from its cache. This is called Windows File Protection. In other news, I get these Flash related crashes all the time and the App Log

Seriously guys, I use Google Analytics every day at my job, and I use Chrome for all my G
Re: Shockwave Flash Crash ATG-Services 5/1/09 9:33 AM An afterthought on that last post: The issues I've had in the past when using Firefox with certain Google Tools are also unrelated to anything I mentioned; these tools work(ed) in Chrome and work in IE, so I'm fairly certain the only reason they're n

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash lazypc 5/23/09 11:21 PM Well I'm having shockwave crashes also, supposedly.

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash steadfast989 5/30/09 9:39 PM This problem seems to be occurring for many people. Summing up all this jabbing.

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash davidlif 6/10/09 5:09 AM I think the time is long due for Adobe to fix it's Flash. I really don't like the idea of installing something from a web-site that I cannot understand (my Japanese is really week...). In the meantime I am using IE8...

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash seeza 6/14/09 9:50 PM Neither fix (changing filename [doesn't exist on my pc] and the sony download) worked for me.  Hope I can uninstall that sony patch as it was pretty big. Only thing I haven't tried yet is using an older version of the Flash player - just need to fin
Re: Shockwave Flash Crash Tatp 6/16/09 3:47 PM The root cause of this issue is due to your bluetooth driver. If you have a Broadcom driver that is lower then 6.2.0.5800.  For example for VAIO notebook that is a Fall 2008 cycle that has bluetooth (broadcom, your notebook is affected. Please visit

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash buzzlightyear 7/8/09 8:03 PM I tried to comment at adobe (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1179) on an issue, but it wouldn't let me. Their bug system sucks balls. Now I cannot even view the issue anymore since I registered to add a comment.
Re: Shockwave Flash Crash seeza 7/11/09 6:27 PM I tried everything, including the fix Cliss mentioned from an Adobe employee and no joy - some sites just always hung a Chrome tab, crashed Firefox and all other browsers.  The BBC website - no videos worked at all.  Tried http://japanesepod101.com last nig
Re: Shockwave Flash Crash buzzlightyear 7/11/09 11:44 PM My solution to the problem was to disable the AVG SurfShield (a new component under the AVG LinkScanner, Google Analytics now loads properly and faster, no more slow script warnings and high CPU usage.

Re: Shockwave Flash Crash maxbiaggi 10/14/09 3:27 AM I came across this technote from adobe. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html Following this appears to repair some flash registry errors. I've done it and am currently testing it, so far so good. I'll report back later.
