Diner Dash, Roller Rush and Lucky Letters all start up for me but within 1
minute they crash.The error reporting states that they have found no
particuliar problem. I've re-installed the Flash player numerous times.
Still, these 3 games crash. I can play other game with no problem. Someone
help.

Where are these games .. and what exactly happens when there is a 'crash' ..
any messages? does explorer disappear? What version of flash player are
you using? What browser?

I'm using version 8,0,22,0 of Flash Player. I got the games from Gameblast.com
but have gotten them from other sites as well with the same errors. I use
Internet Explorer.

I start up a game, it plays for maybe a minute them I get an error message
stating "Macromedia Projector has encountered a problem and needs to close". I
check on "send error report". The online crash analysis says that Microsoft
has determined it is an unknown error occurring in Flash Player and they have
no solution currently. So I've tried downloading the newest version of Flash
Player but this doesn't help.

That leaves me here and frustrated.

I am having the same problems on my computer and I understand how you feel... I
have uninstalled and reinstalled flash and shockwave and any of the games that
have crashed I have the most updated version on my display driver. I have the
most recent version of Directx. I have tried running a system analysis. The
game site I usually get my games from is reflexive.com. and nothing special
happens when it crashes... the game just closes. In Mystery Case Files it says
something about Macromedia Projector but in Pat Sajak's lucky letters it only
says it encountered a problem. My daughter has these same games on her computer
and she doesn't have any problems with them... please help me this is very
frustrating!!! :|

Lucky Letters crashes on my comp. I just recently formatted my wifes and her
moms comuters and the games play fine on theirs. Has anyone found a solution
yet i really dont want to reformat just to get that game to work.

I'm running the same version (8,0,22,0) of Flash, on Windows ME. I have updated
all my drivers and Driect X to the latest models, but I still get the same
message 'Microsoft internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close." And gives me the option of sending an error report. The page doesn't
help, and just says to contact macromedia. I thought it might've been my dodgy
computer, so I reformatted the hard drive and re-installed the operating
system, but the problem remains.

I've been reformatted, have all the latest updates to everything (xp sp1 home),
use IE (well, I can't now, it keeps locking up and crashing) and FF. With the
Flash 8 games either won't load or only load part way then stop (Neopets - a
very heavy flash-based site). The only way I'm online is by using FF. I need
flash just to view my homepage, and on IE it's causing so many problems it's
insane. Send error reports after lockup/crash and get Solution Not Found,
unknown error occurred that caused IE to malfunction. The only thing different
is the flash 8.

Sound or no sound means nothing. I have to try 3 or 4 times just to get my
homepage to open in IE and once it does, I can't go anywhere else - that's when
I lockup and crash.

Both flash and shockwave are showing up in my list of programs and in my IE
tools. So, I don't know what the answer is. I've uninstalled and re-installed
flash so many times in the last 2 days I've lost count.

Im an avid user of neopets and I have been having crashing problems with .ocx
since updating to flash 8 way back when it was 1st released.. Im still
patiently waiting for a solution from macromedia..I stupidly reformatted just
after the update thinking it was a problem with my comp but hey presto what do
you know the problem is still there.. I have tried FF as a browser but it still
does the same.. Now even after the newest update which I did today its still
the same.. Just though I would let you guys know and that you are all probably
in for a long wait for a solution.

Diner Dash, start up for me but within 1 minute they crash.The error
reporting states that they have found no particuliar problem. I've
re-installed the Flash player numerous times. Still, this game crash. I can
play other game with no problem. Someone help.

I had the same problem with Flash8 . i.e. 'Microsoft internet explorer has
encountered a problem and needs to close." And gives me the option of sending
an error report. The page doesn't help, and just says to contact Macromedia
(who along wiht Microsoft, are not interested). I removed and installed Flash8
several times and all the other garbage suggested by Macromedia to no avail.
Eventually installed the archived Flash7 player as a workaround. I agree this
is all very infuriating!

When i play yahtzee on the games.com website i always crash, i get an error
message saying that a script in the movie is causing flash 8 to run slowly. It
comes up about 20 in a and i cant get rid of it

:frown;:disgust; I am having problems with Diner Dash and MCF-Huntsville. This
is beginning to be quite a pain. My error is Macromedia Projector. I called
support they told me to use online support. GRRRRRR I can use other games. I
too, can start it and in MCF find 1 or 2 things then the error comes up. Error
Access violation. Please someone HELP!!!

I am experiencing the same problem w/ Diner Dash. I have tried playing it on
Yahoo games as well as Game Blast and I am experiencing the same problem. With
IE game crashes within 30 sec on 1st level. With Netscape I've gotten to 3rd
level but can't make it through without a crash. It did crash a couple of times
in 2nd level also.

I too have this problem with almost every game from Macromedia. They play for
about 1 minute and then crash. They have no phone in technical support, so all
the fixes I have been trying have been through their very slow email response
system. I have:
Uninstalled, rebooted and then reinstalled Shockwave and Flash Player
Updated my sound card drivers
Updated my video card drivers
Updated Direct X

But the programs continue to crash. This is so frustrating especially since I
realize now it is not just me and maybe they will wake up soon and figure out
what the problem is.

Ok. I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now, but maybe someone can help me
understand how this got answered. I have done everything that leeniesav has
done; uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, unistall, reinstall. I have
done that not only with the player but the games as well. I have reformatted my
computer....pretty much, you name it, I've pretty much done it. So now I would
really like to know how her problem was resolved or "answered" Cause I need
some major help here before I lose it completely!!!!!:disgust; :|

:|Rosie,
I understand your frustration - this is what I had to do to make it work:

You must cut all the sound to the application you are running. I can get
Shockwave to work, but I need to go to the options to disable the sound. This
really stinks because the sound helps make the application, but I guess they
will never fix this for us. I have a top of the line computer with NVIDIA
nForce Audio Codec - which is pretty standard - but the software keeps crashing
when I try to use sound with the flash player.
