I know when Skype stops working properly because people will no longer be able to hear me and i won't be able to type on the chat, however I will still be able to hear other people. I could be on Skype with nothing else open and Shockwave will still crash I know it's shockwave because if i open a browser after the crash happens, the message above will show up on pages like Youtube. I don't necessarily have to have a browser open for it to crash. Shockwave Flash will crash at any given point during the time that I'm using my computer. Web browser & version: Google Chrome version.
