    You can’t fix it.  I love almost everything about Chrome, particularly its speed, but, despite what Google keep saying, the sad truth is Chrome cannot handle Flash.  I have done EVERYTHING they suggest, but it’s ALWAYS the same result on ANY computer I use.  Flash crashes.  You sit watching the spinner, then get told ‘shockwave flash has become unresponsive.’  You close Chrome and reload, often it will now play.  Very irritating and clearly unfixed for a long LONG time now.
