really getting tired of it crashing, might just switch to Google chrome
kenphoenix,
Sorry that you are having that problem, but just because Flash doesn't crash in IE means nothing. Adobe has a different version of Flash for each major browser "engine".
NPAPI - Plugin = for Gecko browsers like Firefox ActiveX = used with Trident browsers such as IE Pepper = used with Google Chrome, Opera [as of late] and a few others
With the number of crashes that I have seen posted here about Windows 8.1 in the last few days with the Flash 16.0.0.296 version just having been released, I wonder if Adobe has some fixin' to do? Plus I am not seeing any where as many postings about 16.0.0.296 crashing on Windows 7 or Windows Vista PCs - considering there are so many more users out there using Win7 ad Vista. And your crash reports "flag" Bugs reported before 16.0.0.296 was released, many from before any of the Flash 16 versions came out, or so it seems from a quick glance at the flagged Bug reports.
