How to prevent Flash Player 11 from causing very frequent system lock-ups?
- Your operating system & version
Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit, all current updates installed
8 GB memory
Note: video driver also current, i.e. updated
- Your web browser(s) & version
Mozille Firefox 20.0.1 updates current
- Your Flash Player version you having problems with
Flash Player 11 – newest download
- Explain your problem in details; don't use meaningless words like "can't", "cannot", "unable", "won't work"
After installing Flash Player 11 my system frequently locks up with no error messages (I’ve never received an error message related to the lockup). When system locks up I have no control with the keyboard or mouse. I have to force a restart of the system. The lockup occurs when I run application such as AOL’s Todays News or Drudge or NBCNews. The lockup occurs around every 2 minutes. This occurs sometimes (frequently) when I just select, with a mouse click, a particular subject (not requesting a video although it contains a video I can launch). It also occurs 80-90% of the time when I try to launch a video in the particular subject.
When I uninstall Flash Player 11 the problem goes away, but of course I can’t view the videos in a particular subject.
I’ve tried to install Flash Player 11 3-4 times over the past month. The lock-up problem always occurs.
When I install Flash Player 10.3 everything works as expected (including its security flaws, I expect)
How can I get Flash Player 11 to work?
