What should I do if Shockwave Flash slows down my computer?

The question often arises, what to do if Shockwave Flash slows down your computer. It should be noted that there are several reasons and possible solutions to this problem. On the one hand, it can be removed. And with it, forget about music, video and more. And you can fix it. How?

Object Flash Ocx Error

If there is a problem with the Shockwave Flash plug-in, instead of the required video, something awkward is displayed, for example, a gray screen and the inscription that the plug-in has fallen, then there is a conflict built into the browser of the program and the one installed in the computer. This was described only the most critical option. In ordinary life, such a confrontation simply turns into slow work and even individual hangs for a few seconds. What should I do? There are two options:

1. Successively update both program elements in automatic mode.
2. Proceed as described in the first paragraph manually.

But if the Shockwave Flash plug-in slows down after that, make sure that the programs have been updated to the latest version. Let's take a closer look at these processes both on the computer itself and with respect to browsers.

Update Adobe Flash Player on your computer

This can be done using a program downloaded from the official site or using the settings of the internal interface. The first option is advantageously different in that when checking for updates, you can set additional parameters that will apply to the software during subsequent downloads. What can be advised to note? Check the following boxes:

1. We allow Adobe to install updates. In this case, you will be deprived of the obligation to manually do everything. Believe me, the technology itself will cope with this task even better than man.
2. Check now. As a result, you will see the official site page, where you will see a comparison of the versions on the computer and the last published one. If they are different - update.

Problems with Opera

What should I do if Shockwave Flash slows down the computer in Opera? There are two ways to answer this question:

1. Refresh the browser. It should be noted that the opera is sharpened for specific program elements with which it will work (interaction can be with others, but not the fact that it is stable). Therefore, to avoid problems, it is enough just to update the browser. You can do this by simply clicking the left mouse button on an empty tab, selecting "About". A window will appear that will automatically check if it is updated to where. But consider that this is a double-edged sword: the problem may be that the plug-in is too old.
2. Use the plug-in only if necessary. If Shockwave Flash slows down the computer, but there's no desire to go the first way for some reason, then you can use this option. It implies that the plug-in is simply turned off so as not to reproduce the various garbage. And when it will be necessary, it needs to be started. This method is marked 100% with no errors (in the off state).

What should I do with Mozilla Firefox?

The very first and most promising option is an update. In this case, there are three ways:

1. Download the new program from the official site and install it.
2. Using the menu of plug-ins update. By the way, if you just enter a flash into the search bar, the browser will offer you not only targeted programs, but also their alternatives. However, before you can accomplish something that eliminates the situation, when the plug-in slows down the work, it must be stopped.
3. We reinstall Mozilla Firefox, at the same time we use the built-in interface, which is installed in the program itself. To do this, select the question mark in the "Advanced" tab. A window will appear in which we go to the item "About Mozilla Firefox". Next, choose the settings that satisfy us, and follow the recommendations given.

Problems with Google Chrome

As you might have guessed, one of the possible options when Shockwave Flash slows down the computer is an update, both the browser itself (we pay attention to the settings menu or enter the chrome: // chrome /) and the plug-in. You can also stop the program. But there is such a nuance that it can be two, three or even four. Here is a variety. But you need to disable only the one that is used inside the browser itself.

To get rid of the problem, when the plug-in slows down the computer, you just need to reboot the program itself. Just closing all the windows is not enough. Use the task manager to make sure that all processes related to it are terminated. If it's not, stop them. As an easy way, you can advise you to restart the computer. Despite the fact that the Internet is popular bikes that the plug-in slows down the computer, believe me, in the vast majority of cases, it's the user's ignorance that is to blame.
