Hi

When I view any live cam stream/feed at sites like justin.tv or ustream.tv (or any other live cam feed site where flash is used) my browser freezes after a few seconds and gives me an "IE/Firefox has encountered a problem" type message, if I click on more details, it displays:

"Error signature AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 1.9.0.3105 ModName: ipcamera_mjpeg.ax
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000aba97"

I get this "ipcamera_mjpeg.ax" error in both Firefox 3.0.1 and Internet Explorer 7. I can however view regular flash sites like youtube, it's only on sites where there are live cam feeds which utilizes flash that I get the error.

I have uninstalled Flash player en re-installed it, still get the same error. My current version is Adobe Flash Player 9,0,124,0. There are several people reporting this error online and everyone's convinced it's flash that's the problem, yet nobody has a solution (so far).

Note that I could view all these live cam streams as mentioned above a few months ago without any problems. Nothing has changed on my system except maybe a flash version upgrade along the way? Is there a problem with flash player 9.0.124.0 and live cam feeds? I have tried version 10 beta 2 as well, still get the same error. I have a webcam installed but don't use an ipcamera. The webcam works fine, use it on SKype etc. without any problems.

Flash + live cam feeds = problem.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

If you do, do you use Realtek sound card? I'm guessing that either the latest flash player version is buggy or that existing hardware is incompatible with it.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Same thing happens to me for ustream.tv and GMail's new video chat. I think I have narrowed it down. I have 2 nearly identical Sony Vaio SR 290 laptops. One has a ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3470 graphics driver, the other has Intel's integrated graphics. The ATI machine crashes, the Intel one doesn't.
