Why does my Shockplayer keep crashing on Farmville?

What the crap is wrong with Adobe?  I can't even load Farmville becasue it says the Shockwave player has crashed.  This has been going on for 3 days now.  I play on Firefox as recommended.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.  That didn't work.  I installed the Adobe Uninstaller and uninstalled Adobe Flash Player (twice as recommended).  Then reinstalled Adobe Flash Player.  That didn't work.  I restored my computer to an earlier date (Dec 24th when I wasn't having any issues).  That didn't work.  So.........now what?  I am really frustrated.

    Download the following files (Right click and "Save Link as"):

    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    Shockwave Player Uninstaller

    Flash Player Uninstaller

    Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer

    Reboot.

    Run the Uninstallers from your Downloads folder, to remove BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave.

    Go to: C/Windows/System32 and delete the Macromed folder.

    Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64 and delete the Macromed folder.

    Open your Windows Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key+r. Tpye "regedit" [minus the quotes] and click OK.

    In the Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.

    Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder.

    Close the Registry Editor and empty your Recycle bin.

    Run the Shockwave FULL Installer first, and THEN the Flash Player Installer. These are offline installers and will require no connection during the process.

    If problems persist, try disbaling other plugins and extensions for Firefox, to determine if one or more is conflicting with Flash and Shockwave.
