So when I try and start a game up, I get a blank, grey screen. This only happens with Shockwave games though. Every solution I have seen is for the actual crash of the program and not the problem I am currently having. Any help, guys?

If you already have shockwave downloaded your computer might just be slow.

There are a few things I can't run on mine cause its kinda slow.

Unfortunately shockwave is just buggy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Our work around has been posted here that you can try and see if you have any luck. Just keep trying that and hopefully you'll have some luck. :)

That's weird, today my shockwave player keeps crashing as well...the games will stat to run slowly but them all of a sudden they will crash...kind of hoping for a trophy today but I suppose it was no meant to be lol
