What to do if the Shockwave Flash crashes

Quite often, users of Google Chrome and other applications for web-surfing, whose work is based on the web-based engine, have problems with displaying flash content. In such cases, the browser displays a message stating that the next Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed. As a result, Chrome is hopelessly "freezes", and to restart it sometimes it is necessary to reboot the computer, as closing the control process does not lead to a positive resolution of this problem.

The reason the browser throws an error: "The Shockwave Flash plug-in failed", is pretty simple. Therefore, an ordinary user can not easily eliminate it themselves. The root of the problem lies in the approach that developers have chosen, providing the browser with an integrated version of the flash player. It should be noted that other programs for web surfing use an off-line version of the application from Adobe.

Chrome in the process monitors all installed on the computer versions, referring to each of them when trying to display the flash content of the page. The result of this algorithm is a conflict, which leads to notification to the user that the Shockwave Flash crashed.

To fix this problem, which causes a lot of inconvenience, you need to run Chrome and enter the command chrome: // plugins / in its address bar. By pressing "Enter", the user will open a list of all the plugins used. It should be noted that this command causes a list of extensions and in all clones of the browser from Google. In order to destroy the root of the problem responsible for the appearance of the inscription: "Shockwave Flash failed ...", you need to get detailed information about each used module.

To do this, open the "Details" option, in the English version - "Details". In newer versions it is called "More." A "+" sign is next to it. If you click on it, all information about the extensions used will be displayed. The appearance of the message "Shockwave Flash failed" indicates that in this list of plug-ins it will be possible to find several modules that are called "Adobe Flash Player". Normal operation Chrome is provided only if it does not make requests to standalone versions of the player.

To determine which plug-in should be disabled, you should pay attention to the "Location" line. The integrated version of the extension will contain the word "Chrome" in the address. The work of all other add-ons can be stopped by using the "Disable" option.

This simple procedure will permanently eliminate the occurrence of a problem that causes inconvenience when viewing web pages. Having carefully studied the list of plug-ins involved, you can not only disable the one that caused the error "Shockwave Flash failed ...", but also some others. For example, the Microsoft DRM extension, which has the same address for circulation, is often duplicated. In such cases, you can disable any of them, which will benefit the browser speed.

Knowledge and understanding of the functioning of the main processes inside Google Chrome will provide the most comfortable viewing of web pages.
