Hello , issues with flash player being unresponsive?

I have windows xp , 32 bit , and i was previously using internet explorer 8 however due to constant freezes and crashing , i switched to google crome. I go to facebook alot and i like to play games through there, such as bingo blitz and bubble safari, and chefville. On bingo blitz and bubble safari , my sound cuts in and out and i get alot of crashes lately , however when i try to play chefville, i will repeatedly get a message stating shockwave flash plugin is unresponsive. I have went to the google forum and did all there troubleshooting as well as uninstalled and reinstalled and updated my adobe flash plugin. All this to no avail , im still getting the same issues , and yes i have tried just using google cromes built in flash , and now to date i have all google cromes flash disabled and i have my updated adobe flash enabled. Still doing the same thing. Any advice on this plz?
