Flash player issues

So I keep getting told that my Shockwave Flash has crashed

I googled the issue & made sure my flash & shockwave were up to date, the crashes kept happening

So I then made sure to update my nvidia drivers & the crashes keep happening

Only thing I've seen suggested that I haven't done yet is to disable hardware acceleration for flash. The reason I haven't tried this yet is b/c I can't. It says that to do this, I need to right click on something using flash (such as a youtube vid) & click "Settings" & then unclick the box for "Enable Hardware Acceleration" & then click "Close"

However, after I click "Settings," I cannot click on anything in the little settings popup that comes up. I try to click on the check box, the Close button, the other tabs, nothing happens

What's going on?

Not sure what other info you guys need, but I use Win 7 32 bit & Firefox 25.0

And to be clear, I guess my question is 2-fold in that:

1) How do I make it so I can actually alter my flash settings

2) How do I make flash stop crashing (no exaggeration, it crashes a bare minimum of 5 times a day)

Pic of the crash popup message I get every time:

Hi ezpkns34, From the screen dump you submitted it looks like a "plug in" for the browser you are using may be the problem.

Try using Internet Explorer with no add ons….

Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Internet explorer no add ons.

Let us know if you still get the warning dialog box

I no longer have internet explorer on this computer, sorry

Do you want me to turn off other addons on firefox?

Hi, Its very, very difficult to remove completely Internet Explorer (IE) from a Win 7 computer without going to extraordinary lengths!

It may be that you have just disabled it ?

see here about IE8 but the same applies to later versions of IE.

You could try a similar approach if Firefox is your default browser
