While Vista doesn't crash with Flash on my system, Internet Explorer is
EXTREMELY unstable with Flash enabled. And even after updating to the latest
version today, it took under 5 minutes for it to crash again. So while it's
always good to have the most up-to-date software, Flash on Vista is flat-out
awful. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to browse the web these days
without running into a site that requires Flash.
Shame on web developers/advertisers for depending so much on Flash, shame on
Adobe for releasing something this unstable, and shame on Microsoft for
having a browser than can't gracefully host plug-ins.

Try uninstalling / reinstalling Flash Player. Use the uninstaller at

Try uninstalling Windows Vista, reinstalling Windows XP. This worked on 2
computers I bought recently. Fixed all my problems.

I'm thinking your a minority, and your flash installation is also out of date.
There's nothing wrong with flash and vista.

You call it giving up, I call it 'UPgrading' my computer to one that works.
Regardless of what you call it, my life has been so much simpler since
ditching Vista. My blood pressure probably dropped a few points too.
