HI everyone!
I also have a problem … my computer does crash memory after a while , whenever i open video applications, even when i open windows games.
I had format my computer few days ago and here we go again… I used mozilla firefox but because it conflicts with IE now I use Google chrome.
What do you suggest for me to do?

Hi there Rob, thanks for your article, i think i may be experiencing similar problems with Chrome in windows Vista, and as well as the flash/shockwave crashes I now have no sound on my computer. Is this possible? and how would one go about fixing this issue in Vista if this turns out to be the case?

Thanks for your time,
Grace.

I found this solution–Optimizing Your Network Adapter for High Audio/Video Traffic–For many deployments, you can use the default settings on your network adapter; however, in the following situations, you should optimize for audio/video traffic flow by increasing receive and transmit buffers settings to three times their default value on your network adapters http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb663784(office.12).aspx

In combination with increasing cache, uninstall/reinstall flash, right clicking problem video for setting on adobe and unchecking accelerate hardware.

I don’t which one solved the problem.

I am not advising anyone to disable their sound cards. In fact, I only know of one person out of the thousands of people who view this page every month that expierenced that. Not trying to defend Adobe here, it’s been long enough to issue a fix. The most common impediment this fix causes is some extended hardware integration to not work (such as the lighting on hp’s touch audio controls, though the buttons still function fine).

So you are advising us to disable our audio card to fix an Adobe/Flash problem?
This is so preposterous I do not have words…
Those Adobe people issue stupid updates that break existing functionality all the time.
I don’t have time nor want to uninstall/reinstall apps on my computer just because those Adobe people cannot program worth lick…

Hi Andy,

If you have tried the instructions from my post and aren’t having any luck, I would:
-uninstall flash and reinstall
-if that doesn’t work, unstall chrome and reinstall

If neither of those work, post back and i can make some further suggestions

Good luck!

Error Message: Message “Shockwave Flash plugin crashes” appearing in the yellow stripe.

Please help me, it just keep crashing.

I use Chrome, window 7, 32 bit. I’m in desperate right now

Please answer me as soon as you can, if there is anything I can do about this problem. I’m really angry, because it just happen to me few days ago and I have no idea why. I love Chrome and I don’t want anything happen to it now. I can’t take this anymore…..

Thanks in advance

Hi Steven,

I am not sure about the conexant sound card; however, if you are experience the same issues as others, it could very likely be the problem. If you have the software to reinstall, there isn’t much harm you could do by testing this. My opinion… go for it. Let us know if it works!

Hi Rob,

I’m using a compaq laptop with a conexant sound card and am having the same problem re/; crash of shockwave. Should I uninstall this and then reinstall it?

Thanks!
