Well I just want to open up and empty my bowels on it. Since installing Windows 7, I have had nothing but conflicts and issues with it. I seem to remember the same happened when I was on XP but I managed to resolve it somehow. Now I am having the same issues again with it sucking up masses of system resources and then crashing.
PS No I am not watching pr0n!
Tried googling it for ages but that much crap out there I cannot find anything intuitive.
Anyone experienced anything similar and can shed some light?

Could it be a conflict with another software like Shockwave or something?

Originally posted by SuzianneIt shows shockwave as being installed as an addon so I disable it. When it do that it complains that Adobe flash isn't installed so I install it and then I am back to where I am started with shockwave showing in the add ons again. Can't fathom it.

It all depends on what browser you are using, but you can install different versions which handle flash. chrome for example has a built in flash player, pepperflash, there may be conflicts with it and shockwave.

To install and use an alternate version of Flash Player:
Type about:plugins into the address bar at the top of a Chrome browser window.
Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
Find the “Flash” or “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Find the “Flash” or “Shockwave Flash” listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
Close all Chrome windows and restart the browser.
Chrome uses the installed system plug-in. To confirm the version of Flash Player that is currently running in your browser, see Find Flash Player version (tn_15507).

I am a linux user and Adobe has provided no updates for the chromium browser so if I want to use flash I need to use firefox. Personally i don't miss it, its quality is poor and its stability is also suspect as you are experiencing. HTML 5 has been the new standard for over a year which has easy integration of video, why sites like assbook and the BBC insist on using flash I cannot say.
Hopefully this helps

When I tried to update it once, It was taking forever so I paused the update. When I rebooted welll erm. Yes. After that I went back to windows. I can't fault it bar this flash issue.

Comodo dragon is another one based on Chromium, as is Chrome itself, you could also try that. It claims to have enhanced privacy features. I would try Chrome just to test flash because it may be that your version of firefox and flash are having some issues, using Chrome for the time being should tell you either way because its flash is updated automatically and it should have the latest version.

I could never go back to windows, its just sooo. . . . well you know, closed. Linux has simply got better and better. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is available I think, although I use a different distribution based on version 12, Ubuntu studio.
P.S Try epic privacy browser its also based on chromium source code and has inbuilt privacy features.
