Flash Player 10, Video Freezing, Audio Works OK.

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me.
I only really use flash player to watch things like youtube and the football highlights on the BBC website. I had flash player 9 until a couple of months ago, and everything was perfect, I was on a website and it came up saying I needed to upgrade to use the website, so I decided to do it, big mistake.
Now when I try to watch videos on flash player on IE7 they get just over 1 minute in then the video starts to freeze but the audio plays fine throughout, at first the video is only playing about 1 frame every second, then it slows over about 30 seconds to about 1 frame every 5 seconds, by this point the picture on the screen is way behind the audio, finally the video plays in fast forward and catches up with the audio and plays ok from there for another minute or so, then it starts all over again. When the video starts freezing the CPU shoots up to 100% usage and lowers again when the video is playing normally.
It's actually quite funny watching the video when it plays in fast forward, especially when watching football, reminds me of Benny Hill.
Anybody any ideas? It does this in all browsers, firefox is the worst, IE7 the best, I generally use IE7.
My Computer is a Pentium M 1.5ghz, 1.3gb Ram, Windows XP SP2, 64mb Graphics Card, not great but was capable of playing flash videos on FP9.

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash player games, video, or audio don't work / Windows

I have been having issues with my flash player for about a week. I tried all the trouble shooting steps under flash player games, video, or audio, but the issue kept occurring. I successfully uninstalled the flash player, then reinstalled it, the issue keeps occurring, so I followed the trouble shooting steps again, and it keeps occuring. For example, I will be watching a video, then it will spontaneously restart, jump to the end, image distortion, or freeze and the flash player stops responding et cetera. I think it might be what is causing an update error on a game that I play as well, where the game launcher is unable to decrypt and deserialize the download content from the server, or maybe something else is causing the flash player, and the game launcher to have these issues. Hopefully someone has some useful tips to resolve this issue that I haven't tried yet. Thank you for your time.

I myself have a problem with firefox after installing this no videos run etc

Flash Player 9 video yes audio no

this problem ???

Also, I have WMP, Real Player and Quick Time installed and
Flash Player 9 as well. Well, your post helped me and gave me an
idea where to look in my machine for the problem and I discovered
these facts:
1. My speakers are working fine
2. My mic's are working fine
3. My sound card and driver works fine SoundMAX HD Audio
4. All my players work fine except audio when playing FP9
5. My windows sound recorder does not work at all
6. I cannot play MIDI files by default Microsoft Synth and I
have to use Quick Time to play it.
7. I cannot play my default ( and other themes ) system
sounds
8. Also, I can see Microsoft GS wavetable SW Synth when
setting Audio Properties but after apply it disappears again.
9. My all drivers are updated and machine as well.
So, I did realize that problem is in default Microsoft
Windows MIDI Synth like you also found it but after spending hours
on the forums and use nets I couldn't find any solution to work
around this problem except to reinstall my windows. I also can
confirm that this problem have nothing to do with different codec
installed like AC3, ffdshow etc.
Furthermore, there is no any help on HP Support site for this
kind of problem.
SO, IF I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND WORKAROUND SOLUTION I WILL
BE FORCED TO REINSTALL MY WINDOWS AND HAVE AT LEAST 8 HOURS OF
"FUN" TO SET UP ALL THE STUFF I HAVE NOW ON MY COMPUTER !!!
SOMETIMES I REALLY DO HATE WINDOWS AND THINKING TO SWITCH FOR A
LINUX !!!

Publish for Flash Player 11, video events not working

I have a Flash project that I'm publishing in Flash Player 11 in hopes having better animation results with Flash Player 11's better rendering capabilites.
However, my AS3 Video Events are now throwing errors. These two Event listeners throw the error.
"Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class"
"Access of possibly undefined property PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED through a reference with static type Class."
videoOverlay_mc.video_mc.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, fnc_endOfVideo)
videoOverlay_mc.video_mc.addEventListener(VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, fnc_videoStart);
If I publish as Flash Player 10.x the events & listeners work fine.
I've been trying to find documentation on Flash Player 11 and what video events to use. Does anyone know where I can find this?
The API's still shows the videoEvents, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/fl/video/VideoEvent.htm l
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Zak

Kglad,
My apologies. I rushed my reply.
This worked:
videoOverlay_mc.video_mc.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.COMPLETE, fnc_endOfVideo);
videoOverlay_mc.video_mc.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.PLAYING_STATE_ENTERED, fnc_videoStart);
function fnc_videoStart(evt:fl.video.VideoEvent):void {
function fnc_endOfVideo(evt:fl.video.VideoEvent):void {
I had to put the full event path in the function parameter as well otherwise I got a "Ambiguous reference to VideoEvent compile error".
Thanks a lot for your help.

New flash player 11 update doesn't work with internet explorer 8

I have Windows 7 and IE 8. This is a home desktop computer.
When the latest update of FlashPlayer 11.5.502.146 was automatically installed on Jan 9, IE8 stopped working. I can navigate to a site, but then it just freezes. I can not click any toolbar or other buttons or links--I can not even close IE--I have to use task manager. If I disable Flashplayer, IE works fine, but then of course no content can be displayed. If I go to a site and then enable Flashplayer, I can't click on anything again, so that doesn't work. HELP. Does the newest update not work with IE8?

I have a similar problem. I've Win XP SP3 with IE 8. For last few months I've noticed that Flash Player is not able to play flash audio/video on a webpage i.e., upon visiting a page the flash player starts loading but it does not finish - a circle keeps rotating - player does not manage to display 'Play' button. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player 11.5.502.146. Also, installed Flash Player 11.6.602.161 from above link. But, with same result.
Same behaviour is repeated in FireFox 18.0.1 with Flash Player 11.5.502.146. It seems that something else is not allowing flash player to play. I've latest Java 7 Upd 13, ZoneAlarm 11 and Avast 7.0.1474.
(Note: I've another PC with Win XP SP3, IE 8 and FireFox 18.0.1 and Flash Player 11.5.502.146 works well. It has Java 7 Upd 13. It has ZoneAlarm 11 and Windows Defender AV)
Can anyone help?

Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago. At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work. Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
In control panel programs I have listed
Adobe AIR      no size
Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
Thanks

Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it. My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive. The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

How to get Flash Player 10.1 r53 to work with Mac OS X 10.6.4.

I have the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard computer but I can't get videos to play. I've read in Adobe comments that Flash Player 10.1 is not working on 64-bit systems (which is mine). How can I get a version of Flash Player that WILL work on my Mac?? When I try to play a video from youtube.com it says I need to upgrade my Flash Player and to get it from Adobe (which I did but the 10.1 version doesn't work!!! I'd appreciate any help I can get from anyone who can provide a solution. Thank you. Dave McCanna

You will also need to specify what browser and version you are using.
You will also need to give a little bit more info than just "does not work".

Flash Player plug-in has stopped working

Hello,
It's about 1-2 months that I have this constant problem with Flash Player plug-in.
It occurs me (sometimes as soon as the page charges) everytime while I'm playing browser games (like FB ones, Anno-Online, Drakensang Online...) and, maybe, twice, while watching videos: grey screen "Flash Player plug-in has stopped working". Refreshing the page isn't the solution because every very few minutes we're there again and again.
I already tried almost everything but nothing seems to help me:
- uninstalling and reinstalling it
- uninstalling and installing older version (10.3)
- trying other browser (exact same problem with Google Chrome)
- disabled protection and even uninstalled my antivirus
- followed this (http://helpx.adobe.com/it/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html) and a lot of other "guides"
- disabled every other plug-in
- formatted my hard disk and reinstalled my OS (not because of this problem, but neither this fixed the situation)
And I can't remember if I am missing some other try.
Is there something I can do to fix this problem? It's getting really annoying.
Hope someone can help me
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Firefox 20.0.1 - Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.169 (same problems with 10.3 and 11.4 versions)
P.S.: Excuse me for bad English.

Hello Chris, thanks for your reply.
Well, I don't know if the crashes occur with 10.3 too, because the games didn't load and a message tells me to upgrade my FP to a newer version of it.
Here you have some of the games:
http://www.drakensang.com/
http://en.anno-online.com/en/homepage
http://apps.facebook.com/road_to_fame/
I don't have any sort of steps to follow, to me it occurs very very soon (few minutes, like 2 or 3) every single time I try to play one of these game during normal game actions. After that, if I reload the page, sometimes FP crashes while the game is still loading, otherwise it'll crash while playing again.
The firts times this problem occured to me, I used to reload the page many times to regularly end with a system crash and BSoD. So, these last weeks I give up as soon as it crashes first time.
Hope you can reproduce it and do something.
Regards,
Alessandro

Flash player plays videos slow and jumpy. Have to put on pause and wait for it to load.

Since the new Flash Player release, videos on Youtube, CNN, FOX will start to load then do a buffering, then play a little more, stop again.
When I hit on pause and let it load fully, it is the only way I can watch the video.
Unless it is a video I really want to watch, the effort takes to long.
It started with the new release of Flash Play on both my desktop with windows XP and new laptop with Windows 7.
I have spent days reviewing this forum and tried all your suggestions.
Are there any new suggestions besides all those that have already been given or do we have to just wait for a new release of Flash Player
to take care of all these bugs that I have been reading that others also have?

Hi eidnolg,
I have great news on my end for this problem.
Researching another solution all started with the email that I received from adninjastrator ( [email protected])
about it might be something with my internet server and HiDef videos.
I phoned Qwest help line and they told me my speeds coming in for okay.
Then I sent a email to a Qwest online tech and explained how it all started about the time of the flash player update on both of my computers.
I told them about all my trouble shooting on your forum.
Within 2 hours of my email, I got a reply back from the Qwest tech.
Quote from Qwest internet provider, email response:
I understand you are having concerns about your speed.
I have spoken to an engineer and we have made some changes.
You should see immediate results.
I went to Youtube, CNN and FOX and they all worked. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what programming problem that they fixed, but it worked.
Thanks to adninjastrator for getting me started on checking with my internet server provider.
Thank you eidnolg for all your suggestions for solving this issue.
It was also a learning process for me, doing research on checking for computer problems.

I have upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, since then my Adobe Flash Player don't want to work?

Hi, can anybody help me please, i have upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, since then my Adobe flash player don't want to work.
I clicked on update and downloaded the update from Adobe and installed it.
Every time i get an error saying - "that this wasn't downloaded from App Store".
i can not find it in App Store.
What must i do?

Try this: in your Utilities folder launch Adobe Flash Player Install Manager and run it to completely uninstall Flash. Then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download Flash
Once downloaded, double-click to open it and run the installer. If you get a message saying the file can't be opened, or similar, Control+click or right click and select 'open' and should then be able to proceed to install it.

Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.
