Moderators Andavari Posted August 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2008 Are you downloading it from Adobe? The official page is located here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#fp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Try un-installing the Flash player then install the new one: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewConten...rnalId=tn_14157 Close all browser windows the run the un-installer then install the new one.

res45 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well I have tried everything still no go as long as flash isn't installed everything is fine once installed you go to a flash site and IE 6 crashes,I have it installed on my personal computer a home built one thats five years old no problems. It see from doing a Google search I'm not the only one having this problem, I formatted the HD did a clean install of XP did a fresh install of all the updates,it makes no difference if I install flash it crashes the browser. Not sure if this would be a problem but I'm working on a Compaq with a Intel Celeron 2.5 GHz. processor With 376 Mb or ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Adobe has changed the requirements a little or something, I don't know for sure. Your guess is as good as mine on fixing the issue.

res45 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well the system requirements are at least a Intel? Pentium? II 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent) and 128 mb or ram. It also crashes IE7,Firefox & Netscape so its not browser specific. This is a low end processor to in this system so I'm thinking it just can't handle it.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2008 Or it's just a bug in Flash that's revealed on your system. Hopefully in the next version you'll be able to use it, otherwise there's a ton of websites you won't be able to use, which in a sense makes it evidently clear that far too many sites rely upon Flash.
