Hi,

Try something like this.

Uninstal your current Adobe Flash Player version and reboot system.

Check this link to find out how you should do this.

 

Install latest Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player.

Have you tried to uninstall Adobe shockwave and reinstall it after reboot too?

If yes then what kind of alerts are showing up in Event Viewer after this "crashes"?

Re: flash player crashes

Actually this problem occurs due to certain errors related to Flash plugin in your system. The corruption in sound drivers and the incorrect registry settings in your Windows also result in Shockwave plugin crash. The guidelines given here will help you to fix the problem at ease.

* Uninstall the Flash player and active-x plugin. Afterwards reinstall it.
* Try to change the version of the Adobe Shockwave as sometimes the programs do not function well due to various internal conflicts. Get the most recent version.
* Update your system drivers
* Especially update the sound drivers.

The above guidelines allow you to take measures to find an easy solution to the problem.
 I also got some help from this article to fix   flash player crashes

Hope it fix your problem.
