Hey!

I got Windows 7 just some days ago and I really love it. But there is a minor (?) problem :)

When I try to watch streams on Ustream, the browsers crash. I think it has to do with Flashplayer somehow, because Ustream is based on flash.

I really love Windows 7, but I probably love watching NHL on the computer more. So...anyone else experience the same problem? Any solution?

Here's the crashlog:

It's great to hear that you're enjoying Windows 7, but I understand the frustration when your browser crashes, especially while trying to watch streams. The crash log you shared seems to indicate a problem with Flash Player, as you suspected. To address this issue with Ustream and Flash Player causing browser crashes, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem: 1. Update Flash Player: - Ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your system. Outdated versions can cause instability. - Visit the official Adobe Flash Player website to download and install the latest version compatible with Windows 7. 2.

Outdated versions can cause instability. - Visit the official Adobe Flash Player website to download and install the latest version compatible with Windows 7. 2. Enable Hardware Acceleration: - Sometimes, enabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings can improve performance and stability. - Right-click on a Flash video and select "Settings" to access the Flash Player settings. Check the box for hardware acceleration if it's not already enabled. 3. Clear Browser Cache: - Clear the cache, cookies, and browsing history of your web browser. Accumulated data can sometimes cause issues with Flash content playback. 4. Try a Different Browser: - If the issue persists, try using a different web browser to access Ustream. This can help determine if the problem is specific to a particular browser. 5. Check for Browser Updates: - Ensure that your web browser is up to date. Sometimes, outdated browser versions may not work well with the latest Flash Player. 6. Disable Browser Extensions: - Temporarily disable browser extensions, as they might interfere with Flash content. Try watching streams on Ustream with all extensions disabled. 7. Disable Flash Player: - As a last resort, if the issue persists, you can try disabling Flash Player and then re-enabling it to see if that resolves the crashing problem. Additionally, you might want to look for any specific troubleshooting guides provided by Ustream or Flash Player support that could offer tailored solutions for this issue. Give these steps a try and see if they help in resolving the browser crash issue when watching streams on Ustream. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any other questions!
