Solved flash drive

[donaldy]

When I download flash drive my Internet Explorer crashes. I have windows 7, 64 bit, IE 9. Anyone know what is wrong?

Download -what- from the flash drive?
We need more details, there are a lot of variables in an action or series of actions that can cause a crash.

When I download flash drive from the internet onto my computer my Internet Explorer crashes. I have to delete flash drive to get IE functioning again.

Post the link to this "flash drive" you are downloading.

Sorry, I meant to say "adobe flash player" instead of flash driive

Did it install fully, turn off your popup blocker, install flash player, turn it back on again.

Make sure you uncheck the McAfee or Chrome downloads that come with it or you will install those too.

Adobe Flashplayer is a necessary app and has never crashed IE for me.

I turned off the pop up blocker, installed adobe flash player 11.5 and the Internet explorer stopped working. I deleted the flash player and IE is working normally now but no flash player.

Does it do this with all browsers?

It runs fine with chrome.

Try this:

Download the current uninstaller

Uninstaller for Windows
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe

Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller Restart Windows Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if you are using a 64-bit system)
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player

Verify that the files "FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl", "FlashPlayerApp.exe", and "FlashPlayerInstaller.exe" in C:\Windows\system32\ (for 32-bit systems) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ (if you are using a 64-bit system) have been deleted.

Note that you may not see the .exe suffix on FlashPlayerApp.exe and FlashPlayerInstaller.exe, depending on your Explorer settings.

I downloaded the uninstaller and so far everything seems to be operating fine. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, problem solved. I think I may have clicked the "mark unsolved" button by mistake.
