It happens that when you launch some web pages or other content, a message is displayed stating that the plugin is not responding. What to do in such a situation? Such failures are most often exposed to the browser from "Google" - "Chrome". The conflict occurs with the Adobe Flash plugin . What is this? The plugin is not responding because something happened to the media player. At the same time, the program itself begins to terribly slow down when working, freeze and display messages indicating that the plugin is not responding. What to do in order to regain speed.
Why is there such a problem in Google Chrome
In most cases, problems with the Chrome plug-in occur when the user wants to open a page or start an animation that works using the flash plug-in.
The browser from Google has its own plugin. Conflict happens when built-in and separately installed plug-ins try to work simultaneously. They are incompatible with each other, which leads to a failure of the built-in resource.
How to deal with the conflict?
To do this, go to the browser settings and find the installed plugins there. Among them should be those that are responsible for flash content. You need to leave only one, and disconnect the rest. It is better to disable the built-in browser tool.
How to fix in the "Opera"?
Quite often, this problem also occurs in the Opera browser. “The plugin is not responding,” the program tells the user. If this happens, then the problem may be the incorrect installation of update files. Because of this, errors, freezes appear, and the video generally refuses to play.
To solve this problem, most often it is enough just to restart the plugin. In the settings is the right one, turns off, and then turns on again.
If the error continues to pop up, then you need to download and install a new version of the flash player from the official site. What is it? The plugin is not responding due to the release of new updates. It needs to be updated, like other programs.
If the latest version is installed, and the crashes continue, it is recommended that you clear the browser cache. To do this, do the following:
- Find the Flash Player folder on the system drive of the computer and completely delete all information from it. After that, also find the Macromedia folder, select another folder with the name of the flash player in it and delete it.
- Through the control panel of the operating system go to the parameters of the flash player and in additional click on the button “Delete all”
If freezes occur during video playback, it is recommended to turn off hardware acceleration. To do this, just go to a site that uses the appropriate technology in its work, hover over the video and press the right button. A context menu will drop out, where there will be an item with disabling hardware acceleration.
If everything is fine, and the videos in Opera do not start, then perhaps the corresponding drivers are missing on the computer. They must be reinstalled.
If all of the above does not help and errors still occur, then using the uninstalling utilities you need to completely remove the Opera browser from the computer, and then download the latest version from the official site and install it again.
Browser plugin crashes from Mozilla and others
If the flash player freezes or crashes in Firefox, then you can try to deal with these problems in this way:
- An action is taken when a message pops up saying that the plugin is not responding. What to do for this? Click on the “Stop” button.
- After that, you must try again to launch the site page and the content located on it.
- It also happens that a plugin requires more time to run. If an error occurs, you can click on the “Continue” button and try to give him a chance.
If the plugin still doesn’t respond, what should I do? You must close all tabs that have content, except for one that is active. Often, updating a flash player to the current version helps. In other browsers, it is the latter method that solves the problem in most cases.
