Hi, I don't use Chrome and am not familiar with it.  Is this an add on/plugin/extension in the browser?

When you reply, please provide your operating system and browser versions. Also I don't understand what you mean by Shockwave Flash.

Thanks,

Thanks. You may want to check your Flash Player files. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Open Flash and post back all files listed there. Right click on all NPSWF files and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.

Also look in plugins for a SWF and tell me what version number that is and whether it is enabled.

Thanks,

I also have a problem with google Chrome and Flash, the flash problem does not happen in FF or Safari and I dont use IE as not worth it.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome thinking maybe an update was corrupted, nope as soon as I tried to view a flash file through Chrome same issue.

My Problem seems to point to the Chrome extension, anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this?

I just 2 days ago downloaded Google Chrome and yesterday the shockwave crashed. I got the same message everyone else has been getting. It's really bad that this is still occurring! Obviously this has been happening for a very long time! I will just uninstall it. If it's been going on this long...it isn't worth it! To bad because it really worked great!

Can you please take a screenshot of the message you see and upload it here?

To add an image to the forum, click the camera icon you see above (see screenshot - click the image to enlarge).

NPSWF.dll is the Flash player and can be found in these locations:

• C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
• C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources

As regards the screen print you're referring to, to check file size, right click the file and then go to Properties. it will tell you in there what size it is.

Maybe you saved it as a bitmap image which will have a .bmp extension? If so, do the following:

1. Right click the file, choose Open With... and then choose Paint.
2. Next, click File, then Save As and in the dropdown menu at the bottom, change it from .bmp to .PNG

If you have Windows configured to hide file extensions, do the following:

1. Hit Windows logo key + E to open Windows Explorer.
2. Click Tools, then Folder Options, then View (tab).
3. Checkmark "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
4. Remove the checkmark from: "Hide file extensions for known file types".
5. Click Apply, then OK to exit.

Shockwave Flash crash may be caused by GPU Rendering when many Shockwave graphics are open at the same time. When software rendering is disabled, hardware acceleration is enabled and vice versa. With Hardware Acceleration, your web browser moves most graphics and text rendering from your CPU (s/w) to GPU (h/w). Try disable hardware acceleration and enable software rendering to see if this helps.

■Click Start, select Control Panel.

■Click Network and Security | Internet Options.

■Click the Advanced tab and then Accelerated Graphics.

■Check up the box named Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering and click Apply | OK.
