Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) is a programming language for the COM programming model of Microsoft Windows operating systems. On the other hand, Adobe Flash is a software product designed for viewing animations and movies in a web browser. Flash supports integrating your OCX into Visual Basic 6 projects.

There are thousands of software products in the world created with Visual Basic 6 and many of them are integrated with the Adobe Flash component.

Unfortunately, number of users complained that Flash 10 crashes on such programs and thus the whole program crashes as well. They added that Flash 10 built-in components show an error and close the entire application. We are going to discuss easy and safe solutions for this problem.

What should I do now?

1. Reinstall Adobe Flash 10

2. Free up disk space

3. Repair Flash Player registry entries

4. Flash Player is not properly registered

5. Clean browser cache and internet history

Reinstall Adobe Flash Player 10

Corrupt installation of Adobe Flash often crashes programs created through Visual Basic 6. In such case, you need to download Flash Player 10 and install it again on your computer.

Free up disk space

Make sure your computer has enough free disk space. Not enough free disk space results in errors such as VB6 Flash 10 crashing. Please use a third-party system/registry cleaner to clean up disk space.

Repair Flash Registry Entries

Adobe Flash Player constantly stores and retrieves registry runtime information. Registry entries are necessary for the proper functioning of the Flash Player component in programs designed using Visual Basic 6.

Using third-party Registry Cleaner and PC Optimizer removes registry junk and repairs registry entries.

Flash is not correctly registered

The Adobe Flash installation logs itself to the system registry. If it is not registered correctly, it crashes with the program designed with Visual Basic 6.

Steps:

1.Click Start | Run.

2. Type RegEdit and press ENTER.

3. Navigate here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMacromedia

4. Right-click on the Flash Player entry and select the Remove option.

5. Confirm your action.

6. Reboot the machine.

7. Download Adobe Flash again.

Clear browser cache and internet history

Bad files in the web browser cache can cause your Flash component to crash at runtime for programs created through Visual Basic 6. Remove all files in the cache and Internet history with a cleanup product of the third-party system.
