How to Fix Internet Explorer Crashing Due to a Flash Player Error


Removing Flash Player
1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player Support downloads page (see 'Adobe Flash Player Support Downloads' in Resources).
2. Click the 'Uninstallers' link.
3. Click the link that says 'uninstall_flash_player.exe'. On the folder browser, select a location where you want to save the file and click 'Save'.
4. Browse to the location where you downloaded the file and double-click the executable. It will ask you if you are sure that you want to uninstall Flash Player. Click 'Yes.' The uninstaller will remove everything, including evidence of Flash Player previously existing in your system, so you can reinstall it.
Reinstalling Flash Player
5. Go to the official Flash Player download page (see 'Official Flash Player Download' in Resources).
6. Click the link that says 'Get Flash Player xxxxx' where 'xxxxx' is the latest version of Flash Player available.
7. Click 'Agree and install now.'
8. Choose where to save the file and click 'Save.' After the download is finished, be sure to close all your browser windows and anything that potentially uses Flash before beginning the installation.
9. Browse to the location where you downloaded the installation file and double-click it. Let the installation run on its own and click 'Close' when it's finished.
