Adobe Support:  Please Read, New Flash Not Working

Adobe, please read this.  My Flash player is not working and I would be happy to help you troubleshoot.  I have a completely fresh install of Windows XP on a Dell Laptop and the new Flash Player is not working.  I am in the tech field so I will understand most of your requests...Here is my situation.
The problem began just after Christmas when I returned home from holidays and tried to watch videos, which I do all the time for both work and pleasure.  Videos would not play in a watchable manner...I could hear audio but video was completely choppy and unwatchable.  I researched and researched and implemented many suggestions but to no avail.  Thus, I COMPLETELY rebuilt my system from scratch.  (I needed to do this anyway since it had been 2 years.)
After the rebuild, on a completely fresh install of XP on a Dell D410 laptop (that was playing all videos just fine a week ago), I installed Firefox, went to youtube which prompted me to install Flash, and then had the exact same problem that I had before the complete reinstall of everything.  There are scarecely any variables here other than the Dell Laptop, a standard Windows XP SP2 build, Firefox and Flash.
I think I have narrowed this problem down to two things.  One, the new version of Flash.
It's choppy on youtube AND it's choppy on megavideo, the other place where I watch a lot videos.
I then tried on IE, which also prompted for the new version of flash, and also had the same problem.  Chrome--same result.
However, this problem cannot be a universal problem with Flash otherwise nobody would be able to watch any videos onlline.
This leads me to the second problem, which a complete hypothesis but it seems to be the only thing left:  my Dell laptop.
I have noticed that some of the other folks with reported problems, who mention their system type, are also using Dell laptops.  Mine is an older d410, but as I said, it was running every video just fine up until a week or so ago when all of the sites forced me to install the new version of Flash.  Most Dell laptops use a common video driver set and this is what is leading me to this conclusion.
So, could this be a problem with the new Flash and Dell laptops (or systems that use a common video driver)? As a reference point, my "display adapter" says "Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
Viewing videos is part of my job (and entertainment) and I cannot do anything right now.
Someone out there...please hlep.  Adobe, where are you?  We are here providing you with all of the information that you need....

Thank you for this response.  Apparently, Adobe does not provide support since this is a free product.
However, Adobe, I need your help.
In summary, I have a fresh build of Windows XP, SP2 on a Dell D410 and the Flash player does not work.  This affects at least 50% of the sites I visit.  Right now, I simply have the Flash Player uninstalled and can surf the net rapidly.  Once I install it, I am back to a crawl and still cannot affectively watch any videos (they all have extreme video choppiness but the audio is fine).
I need your help, Adobe.  Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago.  It is unfair of you to distribute a product like this, force everyone to use it, and have it not work for some of us.
So far, this free product has cost me hundreds of dollars as a good part of my job is reviewing videos.
Many have suggested that I buy a new computer to fix the problem.
Is this really necessary?
Adobe, I am a man in need...please help me...
(PS:  I am not the only one.  I have also entered my problem here http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=6039f438d085295f&hl=en&fid=6039f43 8d085295f00047c7e3182b625 to no avail.
And I have done more research than you can imagine.  Here are a number of sites where people are reporting problems with Flash:
Streaming videos are choppy all the sudden.... - CPUs - CPU-Components How do I resolve choppy/jerky video in Firefox? - YouTube Help Videos are choppy, Audio distorted. - YouTube Help DIYnot.com > Youtube stopped working "JavaScript turned off" youtube is not working - YouTube Help Flash sound stopped working. | Ask MetaFilter Anyone have problems with Youtube freezing? - Software - Non-Gaming - Discussion Forum | Eurogamer YouTube videos freeze after a second - Google Chrome Help My Comments on Video Problem Flash Player 10 memory leak!!   Graphics - Customized computer manufacturer graphics driver is detected AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play FLV files Adobe Forums: Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash... Adobe Forums: Flash Stopped working
Obviously, I have still not found an answer to my problem.  Please help me.
Thx,
Richard)

    OS has no updates on my system, and your new flash says my computer doesn't support it. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 serial number does not work on my new MAC. It does work on my old MAC.

    I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on my new Mac but the serial number does not work.
    Do I need to remove the program on the old Mac first?

    Thanks for you reply
    Then I do not understand why the serial number does not work? I have tried to type it several times.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

The program is closed and there is a notification if a solution is available.

    I may have just solved my own problem. Right after posting this I googled bezel lightroom and found this: Flickr: Discussing The word 'bezel' appears in the taskbar. in Adobe Lightroom
    I changed the setting in the view menu and now everything appears to be working fine. I cannot explain why it stopped working before because I hadn't made any previous changes to the view options.
    Still am curious about the memory usage, though.

  • I upgraded to 6.02 and still get this message from Gmail: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version."

    When I opened Gmail in my Firefox browser, I got a message I've never seen, before: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version." I clicked on upgrade to a new version and was taken to the Mozilla site, where I downloaded the latest version of Firefox... then, when I restarted my computer, Gmail still gives me the same message!! What's going on?

    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.
    *http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/12.0/system-requirements/
    For an unofficial Firefox ESR 10.0.4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

    Be aware that TenFourFox doesn't support plugins.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

    adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
    If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

    jaroFocb&#39;15 wrote:
    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash not working in Safari 5

    Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
    Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
    1. reset Safari
    2. uninstalled flash player
    3. installed the flash player
    4. repaired permissions
    5. restarted
    The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
    I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
    So, I next...
    1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
    2. logged out of the new account
    3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
    4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
    5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
    6. reset and restarted Safari
    7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
    I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
    1. reset Safari
    2. uninstall flash player
    3. install flash player
    4. repaired permissions
    5. restarted
    Still doesn't work.
    Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
