Flash CS4 not responding on close

Lately I am unable to close Flash without an error that the program is not responding. I can close files, and they will show in the recent file history, but when I close the program itself, it shows a white screen only. In the task manager it shows that it is not responding.
When I tried to poke around a little, I found that this error always occurred when I had used Actionscript. This was true for about 2 weeks. Then the problem worsened, and now, even if I just open Flash and close it again (without opening any file) it keeps crashing.
I've seen a post for Flash CS3 with no real answers to this problem. My hope is that someone (anyone) has an idea what might be causing this.
I am running Flash on an XP machine with sufficient processor and memory.
Thanks in advance...

I know this is a year old, but I am having the exact same issue. Flash CS4 on windowsXP 32bit...anyone?

Equium A100-338 - Flash Card not Responding

Everytime I close down World of Warcraft something pops up in the top left hand corner (looks like it should be a window but only top bar showing) which reads 'Toshiba Flash Card (Not Responding)'. What can I do to stop this from happening?
Im pretty sure it pops up throughout the game as well as I hear a ding.
I have a Equium A100-338.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
a solution can be disabling the flash card service if you dont need your flash drive.
You can disable it just by following these steps:
- Go into Start -> settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
- Make a right click on "Smart Card" and left-click on "Properties"
- In the window which pops up you have to stop the service and disable it with choosing "Disabled" at the option "Startup Type"
After that your flashdrive service is disabled and you wont get that annoying errormessage anymore.
(I hope so :O )

Flash file not responding if more than 1 flash file.

product : Adobe Flex Builder ver 2.. HELP required urgently..
I'm very new to Flex. in my adobe FLEX page, i'm displaying 2
flash file (.swf). the flash file itself pop-up data based on click
on the adobe flash file. however only 1 flash file (first flash
file) responsds and 2nd flash file loaded but NOT responding to
click and no data pop-up in the 2nd flash file.
However, if i change the order of FlashLoader2.load("file"),
the 2nd flash file responding and the 1st flash file not
responding. so, we can conclude that flash file is ok. anything
need to change in adoble flex???? pls help.
thanks

ar tech,
I think that your problem is to do with layering. You have
specified both loaders to have width and height 100% so (unless
there is more to your code than you have posted) they will sit on
top of each other. In that case unless you have done some clever
code to pass on the mouse request, it will get swallowed by
whichever one is on top (hence the change of behaviour when you
alter the order of loading).
It sounds from your description as though they actually sit
in different screen areas, so maybe try changing the location
parameters and see if both respond when you put them side by side.

Adobe Flash CS4 not functional

Adobe Flash CS4 is not functional and have installed and reinstalled a number of times on an Intel Core 2 Duo with Mountain Lion. It works perfectly on my laptop with the same operating system so its not requiring an upgrade.

Apologies for my delayed response; been away and thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Toshiba flash card not responding

I have had my laptop for several years and lately I've been frequently getting the pop-up message 'Toshiba flash card not responding'. It's almost impossible to click away this message. I think there's a relationship between this and the fact that Internet Explorer is slow to start up and sometimes stops running for no good reason when I am online.
How do I fix this?

the toshiba flash cards are the cards that appear at the top of your screen when you rollover it or when you perform a function using the FN button and any of the F keys them not functioning will not cause any problem with your internet explorer but whatever caused the Toshiba flash cards to not work might be making your IE not work

LR CC launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. have reinstalled, signed out and back in etc etc.

LR CC installed successfully. Launch, get upgrade catalog pop up, ok, Process. LR then launches then freezes at flash screen, Not Responding status. Have reinstalled, Signed out and back in etc etc. Have let it run for several hrs, no joy. Now have 9 catlogs from doign this 9 times. PS CC works fine.

I have found a solution somewhat. Not ideal, but working.
uninstalled and reinstalled for second time. Signed in to CC app, then signed out. Then opened LR CC, signed in from within that (not the CC app), the upgrade catalog pop up came up (again), then LR CC launched and worked fine, albeit bit sluggish.
signed out of LR, signed back in the CC app, lauch LR, it froze at splash screen. So tried LR5 whilst signed into CC app, it froze as well at splash screen.
SIgn out out if CC app, restart PC, launch LR5 without going through CC app, works fine. Tried LR CC direct, works fine. Tried again after sign in through CC app, froze.
so my issue appears related to the CC app.
after all this stuffing about, I am now up to catalog 13 !
so I have a solution for my problem, not ideal, but works.
two hrs in Adobe chat line did not proved the resolution.

Flash causes "Not Responding"

I am using Flash 15.0.0.239 on IE 11.0.9600.17420IS on Windows 7. Nearly every website I open with Flash enabled gets a "not responding" error including Adobe.Com. If I disable Flash, the websites work just fine. How do I fix this problem?

Hi, Try again- download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:

Download and SAVE the Installer to your Desktop:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, disable any instant messengers in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable McAfee
Run the Uninstaller and then restart your computer.
Check to make sure McAfee is still disabled.
Run the Installer and then restart your comptuer.
Re-enable your McAfee.
Test here and you should see the Flash Player logo(RedF) animate(spin) and the version of Flash Player should be 10.2.159.1

Flash keeps 'not responding' when exporting .swf & file WAY too big

Hello!
I am creating an animation using ActionScript2 on Flash Professional CS5 and whenever I try to export (or even test) my animation, the progress bar comes up but the progress does not move. Then after about a second the dreaded '(not responding)' appears at the top of the window and if you click anywhere it greys out closes it.
If I leave it it doesn't export for ages (liteally like 3-6 minutes which is long for just exporting).
It only has 280 frames and the .fla file so far is 9.96MB! Other animations I have made have had double the frames yet 5 times smaller a file.
I have cleaned my registry many times (I thought that might be the problem or something).
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! PLZ HELP!

Premiere cs4 Not Responding after a few mins use

Hello,
I have been using premiere cs4 to make stop motion videos for awhile on this computer and have started having problems with the software.
Everytime I try to use it after a few mins sometimes 5 sometime less it goes white and says not responding resulting in having to close the program. Im starting to get late on deadlines and this is becoming a problem. Ive resorted to doing one step saving then having to close the program and repeat the process.
My system...
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz
8gb 1600mhz ram
I know its not the best but untill now its done this work for me fine. I am using stills at a res of 1920x1080 at 150 dpi and there are thousands of stills but again This is a new problem and I have been doing this for awhile with no issues.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I did attempt a small batch sized as you stated but it did not help. It doesnt seem to matter what I'm working on within the program I could have no content and just click different menus and within mins the system will stop responding. That being said the final video must be in 1080p.
Here are the the items requested in the FAQ given.
i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz also tried stock clock settings.
8gbs 1600mhz ram
2 hhd set up as follows
500gb 7400rpm hdd, program Pagefile, Media cache
1tb 7400rpm hdd, media, project file, previews
4gb virtual page file
win 7 fully updated
premiere pro fully updated
No Audio used
Ive tried various file sizes and settings to match those files all with same result.
As I state above the actual conent size, type and quantity doesnt seem to matter 3-5 mins in and it just stops responding.
Things ive tried so far.
I did extensive mem tests on my ram with no issues
reverted my over clock to stock settings
reinstall the software several times.
Also of note my ram never goes over 50% usage so Im not using all my ram.
I hope this helps i tried to include everything mentioned on the listed FAQ

Flash cs4 not importing ".mov" files

Hi guys.
I have just upgraded to Flash CS4
When I go to import a 2.6 GB .mov file to the stage I get the spinning beach ball of death for 5 minutes then a flash alert box saying that this file type is not supported. See screenshot attached.
Can anyone help?

You may be able to create the FLV by using the Adobe Media Encoder directly, instead of through Flash. You might have to use a third party app, maybe the one that created the MOV in the first place. Sorenson Squeeze should be able to handle files of that size.

Is Flash CS4 not compatible with Intel Graphics (laptop)? Really?

Hi!
I'm graphic and animation designer. My company buys CS4 suite
including Photoshop & Flash. And I'm buying a laptop and now
choosing between one having Intel Graphics and another with ATI
Radeon. Intel has some features I need, but after googling, finding
and reading this topic:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b6c473/0
till the end, I see it does not fully support Photoshop
CS4!!! I also need Flash CS4 working, so does it support Flash?
So can you still recommend me buying intel integrated-laptop
or should I take an ATI Radeon powered one? I need Flash working
without annoying compatibilites problems. I don't want to buy an
Intel one, if it is not Photoshop- and Flash- compatible....
Thank you!

Anne,

It's important you understand what "fully support" means in
this
context. According to Eric Palmer's Dec 4 reply (12:11pm),
Photoshop CS4
does, in fact, run reliably on systems with Intel graphics.
Eric purports
to be an Intel employee, but obviously there's no proof of
that.
Regardless, his assertion jibes with with I hear from
colleagues with Intel
graphics chips.
It's not as if Photoshop suddenly fails if you happen to
choose, say,
red from the color swatches. It's not as if Photoshop fails
to export GIFs
on Intel machines. The only thing you're missing -- and this
is true for me
too, even though I don't have Intel equipment -- is
functionality that
relies on OpenGL. One of these features, for example, lets
you rotate the
canvas while you work on a file. I don't mean rotate the
image itself ... I
mean rotate the actual work space without resampling the
image, just as if
you were rotating the piece of paper on which you were
drawing. Granted,
that sounds like a neat feature (I'd like to experiment with
it, myself!),
but it's not a deal-breaker.
As far as I've seen, the Flash CS4 authoring tool doesn't
rely on any
OpenGL-accelerated features.

CS4 Not Responding on new PC

I recently moved my Photoshop CS4 installation from my old XP machine to a new Win 7 64-bit PC. Now, whenever I open or save a file, the program pauses for about 10 seconds and "Not Responding" appears in the title bar at the top. Eventually, this disappears and the save or open is completed, but it's very annoying when it happens with every file. Can anyone suggest a cause?
Thanks
Peter

Double check to see whether you have any drives mapped that are pointing to systems not currently online, or shortcuts (or entries in your Favorites list) with similar issues.
Are you configured to use HomeGroup networking in Windows 7? I normally turn that off because sometimes it causes more problems than the convenience it adds. Without HomeGroup networking you can still reach other computers - basically just like the older systems with Workgroup access.
I have set up and use the same (Administrator) account on all my systems on my LAN (exact same username, same password), which makes networking quite seamless.
Here's how to shut off HomeGroup networking, if you want to try:
Click Start then type sharing in the search box.
When Network and Sharing Center comes up, click it.
Click the Change advanced sharing settings link at the upper-left.
Expand Home or Work, scroll down to the HomeGroup connections section, and choose the Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers setting. To reverse this change, choose the Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended) setting.

Encore CS4 not responding on start-up

I was just working on a series of DVDs for a client (needed multiple DVDs for menu screens for restaurant client) I've burned these before, everything worked great and just as I'm on deadline (always happens this way Adobe and we don't get to bill for asprin fees) I'm needing to burn another copy of a Encore file that was previously made and now Encore is not responding at startup.
What's the fix???? Is there some key-stroke command that can clear the settings or some DLL file that needs to be removed to get Encore to startup again?
If I need to rebuild my project that's not a big deal, that will take 10 mins. but to deal with this hanging issue's a pain in the butt you guys!
Some more info; the hang seems to be at the 'Transcoding' loadup. That's where it just stops starting. It started fine multiple times prior this startup... so I'm thinking of a couple things that was/is different during this last starup; a) I had iTunes open, because my iPhone was on cradle... b) I had closed a previous Encore project and switched to another project file. (while iTunes was open).
This is the only difference between yesterday and today...I'm thinking there's some DLL or something within the startup string in Encore that's now corrupted. Anyone know what needs to be removed (which DLL I guess) in order to have Encore startup clean again.

Install the latest pxhelp drivers and try to launch encore.
It may resolve this issue.
There are some hang issue on startup with CS4 and Windows 7.

PS CS4 Not Responding

I have had no trouble with PS CS4 until just today. When I launch CS4, it looks fine. Then when I click anything, I get the black bar of death on top that says "PS CS4 Extended Not Responding".
Then if I try to click anything the screen goes white and it says it stopped working.
I have the most current version
I changed my options to administrator (although it was fine before the way it was)
i reuploaded my driver for my wacom
i debugged
really the only thing between yesterday and today i did different was update my itunes...which i woulnd't think would have anything to do with PS.
I didn't reinstall yet becuase i am in transit to a new house and my disk is in storage.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try resetting the prefs by reading this link:
