Flash9b.ocx crash once again

Hi, all

I'd really like to see an official message from Adobe concerning the issue with Flash9b.ocx crashing in IE. Surely they must have received a lot of messages from disgruntled users.

I work for an online newspaper and we have several hundred thousand page impressions every day. And for lots of users our front page causes the Flash player to crash. It's practically impossible to isolate which banner ad(s) that will lead to a crash.

My theory is that there are certain ActionScript commands that are handled in a different manner in the new player, while swfs that contain only animation will work.

Hi, I posted in another thread last week about having all the same problems everyone else seems to have with flash9.ocx. It started on a new (2nd hand) pc whereas on my old pc I had zero problems with flash games and videos..anyway. I appear to have sorted it myself and have had not a single error block in any flash game or you-tube etc etc.. all I did was take out my RAM and dusted it off and placed the two of them back in.. not sure if that is going to help anyone else but it worked for me :)

I don't have much to report just now..

Your particular case is handled out of another office and I'm waiting for access to that system. Unfortunately I have a lot of balls in the air just now... So still working on it.

I'm having the same problem with Flash9d.ocx. It's always when using the animation radar at the weatherchannel.com. Microsoft says it's the flash plugin and of course Adobe points the finger to video driver or sound. It's a shame that all these interfaces can't play well together after all these generations of growth from years ago. It reminds me a lot of the "old days" when it was always Microsoft and Big Blue pointing fingers back and forth. Seems somethings never change.

The issue is only occuring on certain PCs. Other PCs with the same spec and installed software (before instlaling the beta) are not experiencing this?!?
If you want more infor Bentley send me a private message.

Hello Bentley,

There are 2 possilbe beta downloads for Windows.

Can you please tell me what Beta I must install ... or what is the difference between the 2 ?
- ActiveX Control for Windows Internet Explorer
or
- Plugin for Windows

Ok, I installed them both, think that is the way.

I have 'only' 1 gig, and havent had the crash at all since I installed the beta upgrade.

How about if you open like 8 tabs each with some different flash content. Then on the 9th tab try to run that weather.com link above. Does it crash then?

Well, there's no question that putting new memory in my computer has solved my problem. 8 days post memory change and I still have yet to experience any type of flash error whatsoever. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still getting the problem as well.
We have no intention on ugrading to IE6 as yet.
We are slightly diffferent as this issue is manifesting when we run our inhouse developed application.

O/S - Windows XP Pro
Browser IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
2GB RAM

I also have a case open 1-48672054

RedLichtite,

I'm going to check on your request. Sounds like something probably different than what we're talking about here.

It -would- be helpful if you could test your app in IE7, especially with the latest Flash Player beta. I'm wary of IE7 on my systems too, so I understand (and I only install it on a VMWare partition just for that reason...)

celeron 2.7gig...768mb ram....windows xp home. It happens the most on the msn hearts game but has also happened on several other msn games.

I decided to go ahead and update internet explorer to ie7. the message doesnt pop up instantly anymore it takes any where from 2 to 15 minutes now.

Just wanted to report that that particular interactive weather page thats being used for the case here used to crash my 9d flashplayer every time I went there within about 2 minutes. With my new, 9e Flashplayer beta, Ive been running that weather page for about 20 minutes now with no ill effect yet. Ill report back , or edit this post, if it crashes. So far, it seems much better.
