Hi there. I've been having some weird problems with flash i'm hoping someone
could help me with.

I formatted one of my two hard drives about a month 1/2 ago and since then
flash has worked sporadically.

I have shockwave installed which seems to have no problem with anything.
Running Firefox 2.0 i'll install flash from shockwave.com for example. I close
all the browsers and when I open it back up it works but eventually flash
causes Firefox to crash and close.

The same thing happens in Yahoo IM. Yahoo has closed before because of
flash.osx. I know it's only when flash is installed because I last uninstalled
Flash a week ago and Yahoo IM has worked fine since then.

I don't know what the problem is or what could be causing this. I've removed
it using the program, restarted, tried installing again to no avail. Not sure
what could be causing this but I could really use any help or suggestions.

Thanks

Brian

Is it closing or just freezing? I'm not sure if my problem is flash related
but it might be. For several weeks now I can't keep most of my web pages from
freezing on me, I have to close down IE and open again. This gets annoying
after doing it several times just for one page.

Hey debgram, it's actually crashing and then closing.

not firefox or ie so much anymore but yim now. not doing it as much as it was
which was every 5-10 min but i still had absolutly NO problems when flash
wasn't installed.

I think it's better after i deleted the actual flash folder in the system32
folder.

if it continues however i'll definitly be emailing macromedia.
