Fix Crashing Of Flash Player in Google Chrome

From the time i have updated to Google chrome latest version i am facing the issue of crashing of the flash player in Google Chrome every time I used to forward videos in youtube.At first i thought that it is a temporary issue and will be solved.But it was not a temporary issue and it kept on coming.Every time i refresh the page that gets fixed but that was not permanent and it kept on coming back.I was in need of a permanent fix for this problem.I have founded a fix for this after a long research online.So lets see why this problem occurs and how you can fix it.

Why This Problem Occurs?

This problem occurs because of the conflict between the flash installation that comes bundled with chrome and the one that is already installed on your pc.Chrome gets confused which one to call for buffer the remaining video and it ends up with the crash of the shockwave plugin.This type of issues does not occurs in browsers like Firefox or opera because they do not comes with bundled flash player with their installation.

So now we have got aware to that why this problem occurs so lets see how to fix it.

From the Editors Desk:-

So as we have disabled the chrome's inbuilt flash player its update will not be counted any time chrome will get an update.So if your adobe flash player is not on automatic updates mode then you had to keep checking for updates at regular intervals.However if your problem is still not fixed after applying the above method then you can post your problem at Google Chrome Support Forum.
