Error: Macromedia Flash on Vista

[Achilles05]

I have an old version of flash "Flash 6.0 r25" back when Flash was still Macromedia. I have had it and used it on vista in the past, only recently has it failed to open. Now everytime I try and open it I get an error saying: Flash 6.0 r25 has stopped working. The only thing Vista has to say is this: Disregard Scrap: Error Details by ~BeBop953 on deviantART

Any solutions?

Uninstall that version cause its old by running this uninstaller from Adobe.

Then install the latest version.

I appreciate the help but my issue isn't with the player, it's with the animation software. (Flash 6.0 r25) It wont run, and it used to work fine.

You may be taking a security risk running an older version of Flash...

I have the most up to date flash player, what I'm having issues with is Flash Mx 6.0 r25. I have a theory that on a whim, vista decided that my old version of flash is a security risk and now crashes it before it's fully loaded.

But I still don't really know how I would go about fixing it.

I have resolved it. After researching this issue I discovered that some codec packs have been causing problems with Macromedia and Apple products. I removed some codecs I recently dowloaded and now Flash Mx 6.0 r25 works fine. Also my Quicktime no longer crashes, something I omitted from my frist post because I didn't think the issue was related.
