How to Fix Macromedia Projector Has Stopped Working

Macromedia projector is a standalone player for flash files and this error frequently occurs when trying to play a flash game. You can fix the error by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is check if the app you are trying to run is from a trusted source. If you have downloaded or installed it from somewhere, make sure it is a trusted source. Click “Start” and then “computer” to select “properties.” From “properties”, select “system protection” and then click on the “advanced” tab. There is a performance section there and click the settings button in the performance section. After this, click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.

There will be two selections there and you need to select “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select”.

This error can also be fixed by uninstalling the software and restarting your computer in “clean mode”. This means that all non-Microsoft startup programs will be in shutdown mode. After this, reinstall the program to its default folder and it should work fine.
