I was prompted to update my flash player and afterward, this video caused a blue screen shutdown:

Other videos play fine, so maybe it's coincidence.
I haven't had a blue screen meltdown in years!

Re: New Flash Blue Death...
Computer BSOD?
Do you have Flash "protected mode" disabled?
(But even with that, if it even has any bearing, a Windows BSOD would still be very strange.)

I had thought that protected mode wasn't able to be disabled. Wasn't 11.x version the last flash version without that mode?therube wrote:Computer BSOD?

How can you disable that with newer versions?
Thank You
P.S. Accessed above link w/ no problems (XP - SM 2.35 w/ flash 23.0.0.185).
I fully agree, a BSOD like that is indicative of something else.

You can disable Flash protected mode.
(I can't imagine why one would want to do so.)

Re: New Flash Blue Death...
Every so often I try installing Flash again but, without fail, SeaMonkey crashes upon starting once it's been installed. Personally, I am happier without it but, have a few clients who miss their old Flash games they were used to playing.. And, I've tried this on half a dozen Win10 systems.. without fail, each one crashes SeaMonkey when it's started up after reinstalling Flash.
Personal Opinion :: If Adobe wanted to keep Flash alive, they'd rebuild it from the ground up for security and just ditch the one they've been upgrading forever.
Anyway, today I think it is just smarter and safer, definitely more secure to not have Flash in your browser.. pretty much the same way I feel about ActiveX. ugh.
Have a great day.!
