Flash crashing Chrome

maryfrench

I've tried everything to fix it but every web page that needs flash is crashing chrome. I've now changed back to IE9. Which seems to have improved since I last used it months ago.
Anyone else having this trouble.

I had the same problem with earlier versions of Chrome, have you clicked the spanner and updated (click on about Chrome).
At the moment i am on version 18.0.1025.168 with no problems.

Yes its up to date the same number as you have.

Yes, me too. I think Chrome did an update yesterday, as I noticed PC hanging and when I checked task manager I found setup.exe (from google) was hogging cpu.

I dont seem to have a problem with the latest update. just been on the digital spy website, theres a flash animation for a jason statham film on there and it played fine.

perhaps uninstall/re-install chrome?

do any error message come up or does chrome just close with no warning?

A yellow bar on the top of the page says Flash has stopped working and on the picture its just black with a funny white skull thingy on it.

hmm, not too sure then. perhaps try disabling/re-enabling flash typing 'about:plugins' (without the apostrophes) into the address bar, then click the disable link next to flash. close chrome, then reopen and follow the same procedure above to reactivate it.

Am stumped after that, try a google/bing search for the exact error message and see if anyone else has the same problem.
