Browsers "Not Responding" when using Flash Player

New thread started on request (original text pasted) ...
--->8---
I too am having problems with any site that streams video using FP, and not just in IE 8. Internet Explorer (and Safari) try to buffer the video, and then stop responding.
A reboot will "solve" the problem, but for an indeterminate amount of time, then FP will start to cause problems again.
I have uninstalled FP, reinstalled FP, uninstalled FP again and manually emptied the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder and reinstalled FP to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated, as this is starting to bug somewhat!
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) - and yes I'm using the 32 bit IE 8
Browser: IE 8.0.7600.16385 (also tried Safari 4.0.5)
FP : 10.1.45.2
---8<---
Cheers,
Tony

Shockwave Flash object is enabled in Add-ons Manager, and i no longer have another browser installed.

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow. It's also not the fastest at anything. Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

Have no clue. You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
Which os are you using?
How are you connected to the internet?
Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
Max out your ram.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys. I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

I encountered a problem when using Flash Player V9.0.115, can somebody help me?

Hello all, can somebody help me?
I have encountered a problem when using Flash Player
V9.0.115. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
The problem described as follows:
1. The flash file with sound works well before uploaded to
website. The audio lost when uploaded to the website(There is no
problem with the flash file size). I have uploaded the flash file
to website for you to test. Please go to
http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/create
a new site.swf and kindly check with it.
2. When we open the flash movie in IE with Flash player
V9.0.47 and previous versions (Flash9d.ocx), the flash movie with
sound works well.
3. When we upgrade the flash player to the latest version
V9.0.115 (Flash9e.ocx), the video works well, but the sound just
can play several seconds and then stop.
4. On Flash Player ocx V9.0.115. If we publish the flash
movie on web with 24fps, the sound just can work several seconds
and then stop, the problem is the same if we use the
TShockWaveFlash control to play the flash movie.
5. On Flash Player ocx V9.0.115. If we publish the flash
movie with 12fps, the sound works well but the quality is really
very poor. It seems that the sound plays shorter with more frames
per second. But the flash file works well with the Flash Player
V9.0.47 and previous versions (Flash9d.ocx).
Can somebody help me to figure it out? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Sabrina

Hello Darren, I really appreciate your response. My mail is
[email protected] I have uploaded the flash file to our
ftp,
http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/create
a new site.swf. And also I compressed the original file to a
zip file and uploaded to our ftp at
http://download.sameshow.com/aff/create.zip,
please kindly check! When we playing this flash file on FlashPlayer
V9.0.47 and previous, the audio works well. But the audio just can
play several seconds and then stop when I playing it on FlashPlayer
V9.0.115. The garbled audio makes us very upset. Your help would be
great appreciated!

I cannot get rid of the permissions box when using flash player in firefox

Hi
I have explored on the web about this problem. When attempting to use flash player in firefox, I cannot click on the allow button to allow my video camera and microphone to be used on sites. I CAN go to Global settings and allow the sites by putting their URL, but this makes no difference, the little permissions box keeps appearing and won't go away.
Anyone know what else to try if changing global setting permissions doesn't work?
Barry

This sounds like a bug. The direction that we're heading is to have the browsers present these permission dialogs, and to eliminate them from Flash completely. It is unlikely these native dialogs will support an "always allow" or "remember" option.
If you're not able to click the button in the dialog when it's displayed, that's problematic. We have a couple things in the pipeline to make the dialog bigger. Usually those problems are resolution specific, although if there's moving video behind the dialog, that can trip our security controls. We do a bunch of checks to ensure that the dialog you're clicking isn't obscured by something else, so that we're sure you know that you're clicking and approve button.
There is an improvement in the pipeline to make these dialogs bigger. They were originally designed for 640x480 screens (they've been around *that* long), and they're way too small on modern high-density displays.
Anyway, you're welcome to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/. Please be sure to include a link to the problem content, and the configuration you're using (OS and browser version, and screen resolution would be particularly useful -- these are often resolution-dependent issues).

Videos won't play until fully loaded when using Flash Player

Hello,
When I try to play videos using flash player, it usually takes a very long time for them to start playing, because they do not start until the entire video is loaded. However, disabling flash player and using something like Quicktime allows me to start watching a video once enough of it has buffered.
I'm currently using Windows 7 x64, and it happens across browses (Firefox, Chrome, IE). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest version of Flash player several times, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

How video is played is determined from the content/server, not flash player itself. Are you seeing this happen with YouTube?

After up dates and clearing history and cache disks and defraging, fire fox is not handling farmville . keeps freezing or "not responding. up dated flash player and java script so what is the problem that you cant keep up with the games.

the last 2 times i updated fire fox, from the start it began "not responding".and its not handling any thing my yahoo homepage or anything else.it is slow and unresponsive to any thing. have updated constantly everything that should be and cleared history . my pc is hp and not a year old . have maintained my pc. what is wrong with fire fox. have been told google chrome is better for facebook game but dont like chrome.

Hi a, Glad you removed Norton. On Skype, go to Tools & Manage add ons. Find any add ons that pertain to
Skype and Disable them. Once these problems have been solved then you can always enable any that have been disabled.
Anytime you lose an Internet connection you will receive those kind of errors. Wireless connections are subject to a loss of signal. I would contact your Carrier and report them.
Any site or game that tells you to update Flash Player, ignore. You did the right thing going to Youtube. If that works, then disregard anything to the contrary. That site is having a problem, not you. Take care not to disrupt your Flash Player Installation!!
On Avast not being able to update would most likely be due to the loss of signal. That Avast updated 3 times is not unusual. That is just a sign of additional risks. I had Avast and during some periods that was done also. No problem.
While you are still in the process of removing programs and troubleshooting, if there are any add ons/plug-ins/extensions that are causing an issue, I would disable them. Once you have your troubleshooting done, then see about them.
On McAfee, didn't that Install with FP at one time? I think you removed that as I recall. You can refer to the instructions I gave you to remove it and make sure it is not there.
Thanks,

Screen Flickering when using flash Player after suspend

Hey,
I've got a Samsung R40+ a pretty old Laptop everytime I set him to suspend and wake him afterwards the Screen flickers as soon as I use Flash player. I'ts mainly black and white stripes flashing across the screen especially bad when I watch Videos in Fulscreen. This happens with the Flashplugin aswell as with the Pepper-Flash in Chrome.
This has been an Issue Forever even back when I used Ubuntu I just Ignored it and never Let My Laptop suspend but if there is a solution I would love That.

High cpu usage when using flash player

Hi,
Just updated to Mavericks and now I'm having very high cpu usage while watching streams using flash player. CPU usage is somewhere around 110% and after a moment the stream starts to lag and fps is slowing down. I also tried using Chrome but with no difference. Flash player is the newest version 11.9.900.117.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

i think its the best to hit the report a problem button in safari, since its appears since i updated safari to 5.1.4! maybe they make a additional update

Keep getting "not responding" when using Yahoo's new version of email on a Win8 Lenovo computer

Firefox no longer works properly. I tried the reset Firefox option, but that did not help. When I try to delete an email, I receive the not responding message. When I try to move an email into a folder I receive the message. When I try just to go to the next email, I receive the message. If I try to mark a message not spam, nothing happens. If I wait, eventually Firefox responds and I can move on to the next email. Obviously this is very time consuming and I find that I just don't read my email as I don't what to spend the time. I contact Yahoo and they responded back that it is a browser issue. Because Firefox is the only browser I have on my computer I need to get this working properly again. One more thing, sometime this non-responsive message shows up when I am using other sites, but just not as often as when I'm trying to read my Yahoo emails.
I thank you in advance for answering my question and try to help me get this issue resolved.

To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
(1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
The following pages provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
(2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

Adobe Download Manager will not install when installing Flash Player

I recieve the following error after selecting to install the Active X ADM install.
I am running Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7.
Any thoughts?

Hi J, Unless you think there is some reason you need the DLM or GetPlus, I would suggest you Remove them from Add/Remove. Both of those are causing problems. You don't need them to uninstall/install Flash Player. Reboot after
removing them and then use the following links to Uninstall/Install.
Download and put the Uninstaller on your Desktop http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE this Installer to your Desktop http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Read over the Uninstall instructions and be sure to follow the last 2 NOTES. Check your security settings and the Anti-Virus info-Norton. You don't want any Flash programs running while Uninstalling, so this would be your Anti-Virus/Spyware that runs in realtime; also check the system tray. Since you don't want to Disable your Security while online, disconnect from the Internet after you have the Uninstaller and Installer on your Desktop. When you are off line
then Disable the Firewall as well as any Anti-Virus/Spyware. Then Run the Uninstaller, Reboot & follow that last NOTE per the Uninstall instructions. Then Run the Installer, Reboot. Then Enable your Firewall & Security, connect back to the Internet. Test here http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about

Computer goes power-off when using flash player

Hi,
When using Linux (both Fedora 20 and openSuse 13.1), the latest updates installed, with latest flash player, recently my computer either starts rebooting continuously or just goes power-off. This happens between 15 seconds to 1 minute into a video. Earlier I thought it was the computer hardware being at fault, but after thoroughly cleaning it, it still happens and without playing a flash video, the computer just keeps running. List of my hardware (from dmesg): AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+, ATI RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450] video, 2 GB RAM.
Thanks for any suggestion or solution...
H.

It's either graphics drivers or a heat problem (but that would be more the turn-off, but not the rebooting symptom).
You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to try and avoid it.

Acrobat PRO XI not responding when using Send File

We have 3 new Windows 7 Pro 64 bit workstations with latest service packs, Office 2013 latest service packs and Adobe Acrobat XI ver 11.0.4.
I have assigned the AD group Domain Users to the local pc Administrators group.
when trying to use the send file as an email attachment, the email is sent with the attachment but Acrobat goes to "not responding" state
When I login as me Domain Admin, works fine. When I login to my pc as one of these users works fine.
What am i missing?

I have the same issue, everything I do seems to only fix it temporarily. I can't believe we pay over $100 for a piece of software and the only support option is their forums, I can't call or even chat with a support rep, that is insane.
I have clients that this same issue is happening to and telling them it's fixed every other day only to have it break again and have no where to look for answers is extremely frustrating. Please help us out.

Enterprise DNS servers are not responding when using Windows NLB with Direct Access 2012

Hi
We have installed Direct Access 2012 as one server installation:
- Two network cards. First one in DMZ and second one in internal network
- Two consecutive IP addresses configured in DMZ because of Teredo
- PKI because of Win7 Clients IPSec
- Our corporate network is native IPv4 so we use DNS64/NAT64 and DA-server is configured as DNS
- DA-servers are VMWare virtual machines
One server installation works fine and now we want to use Windows NLB as load balancing. NLB installation goes fine too,
but problem is DNS. If we still try to use DA-server as DNS there comes error message below
None of the enterprise DNS servers 2002:xxxx:xxxx:3333::1 used by DirectAccess clients for name resolution are responding. This might affect DirectAccess client connectivity to corporate resources.
When trying to configure DNS using Infrastructure access setup, DNS cannot be validated when using DA-servers DIP or cluster VIP. Only domain local DNS looks to be ok but those have no IPv6 addressess. So how DNS should be configured when using multicast
NLB?
Tried to remove name suffix then adding again => Detect DNS server => DA-server IPv6 address found => validate => The specified DNS server is not responding...
Then tried to ping detected address => General failure
NLB clusters are configured as multicast and static ARPs are configured too. Both clusters can be connected from those subnets as they should be.
Any clues how to fix this?
