flash player keeps crashing

I feel like this is becoming a yearly occurrence.  Flash is the most unstable part of my computer it seems. 

A few days ago flash player started crashing on my again - I'm on windows 7, 64 bit, using firefox 9.0.1.  I've used the flash uninstall to remove the program.  After that's done I've gone into the program files to make sure it's completely removed.  I've reinstalled flash.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  If it doesn't work, I try again until it does.  It then only works until I shut down my computer and restart again.  I'm getting a little weary of uninstalling and reinstalling flash player every time I turn on my laptop.  Any help would be appreciated.

What you need to do is to maintain your computer and perform a little maintenance activities on it to get rid of such crashes.Flash Player Crash is not something unique happened to you.

Sometimes there is a dreadful total crash and sometime it sends different errors, upon restarting nothing happens.

I also faced this error many times but i fixed it.The below given guidelines allow you to take measures to find an easy solution to the problem.

--Try to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active-X and Plug-in components and then reinstall Shockwave Flash Player

-- Try to use the latest Flash Player

-- Update the drivers that control your PC.

-- Fix your Windows Registry which is a highly recommended thing you should do to find a quick and reliable fix for common PC errors and crashes.

I also got some help from this article to fix  flash player crash

Hope it fix your problem.
