About maybe 4-11 times a day my Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing. For some reason is causes my cursor to get stuck or freeze, making me unable to do/click anything. I have to keep shutting down my computer and turning it back on, and 15 mins later it ends up going it again. It really gets annoying. A few weeks ago it ended up doing this 10 times in one day. I contacted Dell and they did something and it worked for a day or two and started yet again. I updated the latest version of Adobe Flash and other updates. What can I do do fix this?

Hi there,

Please take a look at this article: Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems and update to the latest update of Flash. IF that doesn't work, please try reinstalling the plugin (check out the article for instructions).

Regards, Ziggy

Since updating to Firefox 4 My adobe flash either keeps crashing or when viewing videos that use Flash the sound keeps going but the video freezes for up to 15 seconds, tonight I got the message that the plug in had crashed BUT Firefox crashed totally I had to use CTRL+ALT+DELETE to force it to close BUT when it reopened It was still stuck and no pages would load, I then had the shut down and restart my Windows XP computer, when I restarted Firefox it then came up with the this is embarrassing box and I was able to untick the page that had the problem and it restarted, on 3.6 I had very few problems with Flash crashes but never had video freezing problems but it's regular now with Firefox 4. I have checked for Flash updates and even reinstalled it but to no avail, help please!
