All who use the Google Chrome browser ever stumbled upon this blessed bug that videos, games or even whole pages that stuck with yellow and black plate or the mystic error that "The following plugin is not responding: Shockwave Flash". 
 
Why does this happen? 
 
It happens when you have installed multiple browsers (like Firefox and Chrome), and therefore each of them tries to install its own version of the Flash plugin, apart from the official that could be installed on the computer, and hence the conflict . 
 
And how do I fix it? 
 
Resolved easy, simply disable all plugins of Flash least one. Sometimes there can be up to 3 plugins installed, so let's go over what we should leave the stand. 
 
Steps: 
 
1 Open Google Chrome. 
 
2 In the address bar above wrote about: plugins and touch ENTER to take us to the Chrome Plugins page. 
 
3 In the list that says look for the Adobe Flash Player. 
    * If it says 'Adobe Flash Player (3 files)', it is because you have installed Adobe, the Chrome and PepperFlash component. 
    * If it says 'Adobe Flash Player (2 files)', it is because you have installed the version of Chrome and PepperFlash. These two cases may result in crashes in Google Chrome when watching a page with Flash elements made from banners to YouTube videos. 
 
4 Now let's click on the + Details link is in the top right of this page to expand the list of plugins. 
 
5. descended to Flash plugins section and we will see a lot of details that can display up to THREE versions of Flash.
 
6 We have to fix in the 'Location' reporting for each version: the integrated Chrome version PepperFlash and are in ... Application Data \ Google \ Chrome \ Application, or ... AppData \ Local \ Google \ Chrome \ Application, as if you have Windows XP or Vista / 7/8 etc. While the official version of Adobe (originally called Macromedia Flash) is in the ... Windows \ system32 \ Macromed \ Flash folder. 
 
7 The solution to apply depends on how many plugins installed you see on this screen, and then we review the possible combinations:
 
If I have only 1 version: Chrome 
 
We download and store on your computer the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. It has to be NON-IE (Plugin-based browsers) version, that is, which IS NOT FOR Internet Explorer). We can download it from the Adobe official site here.
 
Close the Google Chrome to install the Adobe Flash seamlessly downloaded in the previous step. The current version offers the option to automatically update, so it is advisable for us to keep up this component. 
 
When finished, open Chrome and go back to about: plugins. You should now have 2 plugins (Chrome and Adobe). 
We click on the link that is in the Disable version of Chrome and will be in gray. 
 
We must verify that the version of Adobe figure Enabled. If Disabled (gray) have to click Enable. 
We close Chrome, open again. We tested a page with Flash. You have to walk :)
 
If you have 2 versions: Chrome and Pepperflash 
 
We click Disable in section Pepperflash and will meet with a grayed background. 
 
Verify that only the version of Chrome remains Enabled. If Disabled (gray) have to click Enable. 
 
We close Chrome, open again. We tested a page with Flash. You have to walk :)
 
If you have 2 versions: Chrome and Adobe (! Eye does Pepperflash) 
 
 
First Disable Flash version of Chrome. You will meet with grayed background. 
 
We must verify that the version of Adobe figure Enabled. If Disabled (gray) have to click Enable. 
 
Close the Plugins tab. 
 
We download and store on your computer the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. It has to be NON-IE (Plugin-based browsers) version, that is, which IS NOT FOR Internet Explorer). We can download it from the Adobe official site here. 
 
Close the Google Chrome to install the Adobe Flash seamlessly downloaded in the previous step. The current version offers the option to automatically update, so it is advisable for us to keep up this component. 
 
Now we open Chrome. We tested a page with Flash. You have to walk :)
 
Final Verification 
 
To see that we have properly installed the Flash plugin in Google Chrome visited the test page Adobe Flash Player and if you can see the animation properly because we did everything right. 
 
It is an error that is not always given but certainly more than one will be served.

To all those who use Google Chrome, I'm sure you have left them a famous and annoying error "Shockwave Flash has Crashed", is not it? Well then we'll show how to solve it.
 
 
 
 
This error occurs because there are two components or "plugins" Flash installed simultaneously giving one in your PC and one in Google Chrome, which includes this component in your installation package. The problem, it seems illogical is that both "Flashes" will "fight" to function resulting in the error of which we speak, whose only victim is you!
 
Good thing is extremely simple fix in less than three minutes everything will be resolved.
 
1. The first thing you have to do is open your Chrome and in the address bar type about: plugins.
 
2. a tab with all the information of the plugins that are installed for your browser opens.
 
3. Find where it says: Adobe Flash Player. You will notice that there are 2 files with all information. In the line of "Location" or "Location" you will realize that there is one installed within Chrome and one inside Windows.
 
 
 
4. Down the information for each Plugin you will find the "Disable" or "Disable" button if you have it in Spanish. Uninstall who is in Google Chrome (note, not dehabilites on Windows).
 
 
 
5. this is not it component was placed in gray? Now just restart your browser and Ready!
 
I hope this advice helps you enjoy the rest of good things that Chrome has.
