Flash Player crashing IE8, Google Chrome and Opera

I am using Windows 7 RC.  For the last week I have had IE8 crashing.  It got steadily worse until it became completely unusable.  I then switched to Chrome, which also started crashing.  Then I tried Opera, which also crashes whenever I go to a Flash enabled site.  I am afriad of trying Firefox and having that crash too, as I think I could go completely mental.

Using the Flash Uninistaller cures the problem with all three browsers.  Of course, Flash use is so ubiquitous on the web these days that not having Flash Player is a bit of a problem.

Is there a an earlier version of Flash that I can use?  I have not had any problems with Flash for as long as I can remember, but I am totally fed up with it at the moment.

    Hi,


    If your issue is consistent across all the browsers, then it is not a problem specific to Google Chrome OR Opera OR IE and you may want to bring this up with Adobe Flash.

    Also, if you think it is a problem with the recent version of Flash you can even think to download the earlier versions from the given below reference link.

    Adobe Flash Player Earlier Versions

    Hope that helps


    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem. Yesterday suddenly everytime I wanted to watch a flash vid my browser started crashing. Both IE8 and Opera. Before that everything was fine, and it is a brand new desktop. I hope someone has a solution to this.
