Adobe Flash plugin crashes on MANY sites, but not all (not YouTube)
Adobe Flash plug in crashes on certain sites, but not on all (not on YouTube, for instance). The big problem is NBA league pass. I spoke to a friend who was happily watching NBA league pass next door, so their feed isn't the problem. This occurs in both IE and Firefox. It also crashed Safari. I'm running Windows XP. I've reinstalled both browsers (latest version), rebooted several times, and reinstalled Flash too.

Since this is happening in all browsers, try turning off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings:
Right-click on any Flash video or animation (such as the animation on this Flash test page), click "Settings" and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration" in the Display tab.
The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
Flash uses enhanced hardware acceleration (H.264 video hardware decoding) on systems with supported video cards and drivers (read this for details). Updating your graphics drivers many also help.

That's what the NBA guys said to do to, once I got through to them. It worked. Thanks!
