Flash player related application crashes on windows 7

I just installed windows 7 today, and I just find out that the flash-related application - you tube and Facebook flash game crashes whenever I tried to launch them.

I had followed the instructions in adobe, uninstall and reinstall adobe player 10, but it doesn't solve the problem...

Also, I tried IE 8, and google chrome, and both of them are facing the same problem.

I think the problem lies in Microsoft or Adobe itself because I didn't experience the problem in Windows 7 RC.

Just when I wanna give a thumbs up to 7, problem comes

Does it happen if you test in [safe mode + net]?

I don't really know, why?

Click to expand...

Because some of the "extras" which are almost certainly causing your issue are going to be deactivated in safe mode. If the crash doesn't happen in safe mode, that tells us a lot about the nature of the problem.

weird...I uninstalled adobe flash player and reinstalled in safe + net mode,

I restarted again, and youtube works again...

I guess thread closed...

I had this problem and the solution is to turn off hardware acceleration of flash.

when playing a flash video, right-click on the video and go to settings.

un-click the box that says "hardware acceleration"

Thank you!

OMG, I just got a brand new computer with windows 7 on it and I went to watch my beloved Hulu and the darn thing crashed like mad. I was ready to cry - until I found this post! It was the hardware acceleration borking flash, indeed. Thankyouthankyou!
