Question

crash only with ESPN3 ("watchespn") live game COMMERCIALS

Hello.

I have had no problems  with this for years until 3 weeks ago after getting the Flash player 11 update. Ever since then, video from all sites and sources run fine with the exception of espn3.com. During live college football games, the live game video is just fine - great, actually. If they go to break and put up a generic slate such as "in commercial break",.....it continues to be fine. But if a commercial video (Sprint wireless comes to mind as an example) - the video freezes after a few seconds, then the browser window freezes, then the entire system freezes and I can't do anything. By the time I restart everything, I have missed half the game. Videos from any other site have no problems. I am hoping someone can help. If this is a known bug with flash player 11 from a few weeks ago - then will rolling back to 10 fix the problem and if so - how would I do that?

Thanks for any assistance.

> Lenovo PC laptop. Windows XP. Internet Explorer 8. Healthy system. Runs great except for this new problem.

Sorry to hear your problem. I realized that I saw another person calimed about ESPN watching and sounded like recently started so there must be something behind. This might be Flash Player 11 issue or this might be ESPN (or comercial provider) started something new and causing trouble. I don't know well. But you can try downgrading Flash Player and see how it look for a while. Please see our FAQ to uninstall current version and install older Flash Player.

How do I uninstall Flash Player?

Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player (10) for Windows or Macintosh?

Forgot to ask if HW disable stop the crash or not. Please try HW disable first if it's acceptable for video performance.
