The crash report flagged these programs;

Process Type plugin Shockwave Flash Version:16.0.0.305

Please update to version 36.0.1

For some time now, a lot of Mac’s with Microsoft programs have been crashing. Check with Microsoft / Mac support sites.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

• see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

• disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

• disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Thank you Fred. Shockwave seems to have made things more stable. Though today alone is not enough time to see if the problem has been resolved, so far things seem good. I will follow your other suggested fixes if it continues.

I have found since the recent update that the browser has developed several problems. It has become extremely slow and crashes multiple times per-day. Coupled with this, the flash plug-in also crashes constantly and video buffering is slow and unstable. I have made sure flash is up to date and I have also followed suggested fixes in other threads (ie. disabling hardware acceleration) to no avail.

I'm having the same issues. I've implemented all the fixes in the thread and am stil having crashing and sluggishness.
