p858snake Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Brand new computer (Win 7) with fresh installs of firefox and chrome but flash is crashing both of them, I'ved tried uninstalling and reinstalling which results in being able to use it one (youtube video) but then goes back into the loop of crashing) I've looked online but the only advice i could find was to disable the firefox plugin container system which i don't really want to do since its also effecting chrome so I don't think that will do much good... Anyone have any ideas?
Arthur Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Could the crashing be related to your graphics card drivers? As of v10.1, Flash Player uses your GPU to accelerate the decoding of H.264 videos (like those on YouTube). It's strange that Chrome is affected since this has it's own copy of Flash Player built-in (from v5.0.375 onwards). Are you using the stable (v9.0.597), beta (v10.0.648) or dev (v11.0.672) release?
p858snake Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 Chrome: Stable (9.0.597.98 (Official Build 74359)) Firefox: Stable (3.6.13)
Asreal Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Does it happen like this in safe mode? It may be as Arthur suggests, a graphics glitch, does it happen with all the pretty menu's disabled? Is there anything stated in the error logs?
p858snake Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 All fixed, managed to find updated drivers for my graphics compared to what windows update had.
