    So I have been having a problem with shock-wave flash player crashing, it started off only every once and a while and now it is getting worse (last time it happened it locked up my screen so that the only thing I could bring up was task manager but could not get to where you shut down (u know the dumb having to hover over the right side of the screen was not working), I have tried the common fix of disabling one of the flash players in chrome://plugins, I have tried shutting both down (while leaving the other running), and it seem's to work for a little while but then it starts again). Does anyone have any idea's? it happens the most when I am on the Major league baseball site watching virtual games?

    Try downgrading to version 11 of the plugin (there's an archive of players on Adobe's website); 12 and 13 seem to be causing lots of issues for people.

    ok thanks I will try that. but even when I disable the adobe shockwave, it still does it just running the google version and vise versa. but if i can figure out how to downgrade I will try that.

    Really I don't seem to have problems with Shockware 12 or flashplayer plugin 12...where are you getting 13? If those are beta one shouldn't use them to start with.

    Which version are you running in shockwave? That would be something to know and also do a offline download of shockwave and install that as the webinstall could be part of the cause.

    Seem's to only happen when I am on the MLB (major league baseball) site.

    Shockwave Flash 13.0.0.182

    that is the chrome shockwave flash

    11,8,800,94
    and that is the other one. I have tried disabling one at a time and tried having both running and seem's to be no change in what happens while on the mlb site. (but sense I have only been running one at a time it does seem that things run faster with just one going.
