I keep getting messages saying Shockwave Flash has crashed, asking me if I want to reload. Then it'll say it's crashed and has to close. I'm using Chrome. How do I fix this? Should I uninstall flash?
Shockwave Flash Crash

Yeah but everything I've read says the problem is that you have two conflicting plugins. I've gone through this. When I go to my plugins I only have one. I can't find anything that has a solution if there isn't a conflict. Thus this thread.
No. Is there a reason why uninstalling flash is a bad idea? That sounds easier that uninstalling Chrome and losing all my bookmarks and saved passwords. Also I thought with Chrome you don't need flash installed separately so I didn't think deleting it would affect anything.

I don't really know.

If you have a google account tied to your Chrome you can have all that data sync up. You could uninstall and install a fresh version and still have all your passwords, bookmarks, extensions etc.
You can also just make a copy of "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data", which doesn't require an account tied to your chrome and is faster and more secure than sending that info over the network.rembrat said:
Ok but here's what I'm trying to understand. Chrome has its own flash plugin, correct? But I also have flash installed separately from before I started using chrome. What is the downside of uninstalling flash first? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'm trying to understand why I need flash anyway if I'm using chrome. Does that make sense?
