Flash Player 11 causes all attempts at video streaming to crash my computer

Hi
I too have been having problems since installing Flash Player 11. I uninstalled it and hoped to reinstall 10.3. All attempts at this brought me back to Flash Player 11. I re-installed again - this time with my Anti-virus program off. Now animations will work, but youTube, internet games and internet videos do not.
I have a PC with Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 and the anti virus and firewall are supplied by my internet provider - Rogers-Yahoo.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi libflashplayer.so,
Thanks for answering. The version of Adobe Flash Player I have is 11.0.1.152 .
Regarding You Tube...I can bring up the site or type in what I'm looking for and a page will come up - like this page for example: http://http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=andrea+bocelli+time+to+say+goodbye&aq=1 &oq=Andrea+Bo . ( I cannot make screenshots. When I push Alt + PrtScn SysRq, nothing happens.
The problem occurs after I choose a video, like Anreas Bocelli singing with Sarah Brightman. The little iconic TV Screen will appear as if the video is going to load (Ie. a little black screen with the transparent start arrow. Then my entire computer screen goes black. There is no error message given. A note comes onto the screen in white letters saying something like "Entering Auto Mode" or something like that.
If I go to the website for ctv : http://shows.ctv.ca/ and then scroll down & click to watch an episode from Law & Order: SVU here://http://shows.ctv.ca/LawAndOrderSVU.aspx , the Law & Order SVU "TV Screen" comes up. All I need to do is click the semi-transparent "Play" - but if I do that the computer crashes again and goes into the mode I explained above. The computer just crashes when this happens.
I WAS able to open & watch this ad that a friend sent. Windows Media Player opened first & then this ad came on screen:
Hmmm. It won't let me paste it! Its a wmx file I believe,
Hope that gives you sufficient info for now.
Sincerely,

Adobe has not made a version of Flash for the iPad.

Flash Player causes Graphic card to crash then recover successfully on two identical systems.

Hello,
Ever since the latest update with Adobe Flash Player, I've been having problems with flash in general on my computer. My brother has the same exact computer and he also has this issue. I can uninstall Flash Player and the problem stops completely and the moment I install it again, the problem persists. I've looked just about everywhere and figured I'd post it on here for a solution.
The problem:
The graphic card crashes and then recovers successfully when using Flash Player in general (happens most of the time when listening to a playlist on youtube and when the webpage is loading/changing to the next song). It also causes blue squares to appear on my monitor in random places. Flash videos become disturted and appear as blocks of fuzzy colors representing what they should really be when in full screen watching the video.
Troubleshot to conclude it was Flash Player:
I did extensive research and troubleshooting on my end, the problem started when I updated flash player with the auto-updater. I bench-marked my computer with running multiple programs and games to the maximum effort my computer could handle without flash installed (needless to say, no problem occurred). I then installed flash according to specs and ran a youtube playlist alone on Internet Explorer, the problem did occur. I then tried it with FireFox and Google Chrome, the same problem occurred.
I had my brother reformat his computer and install everything according to spec (all of his drivers are up to date as well) and the problem persisted with his end so I haven't done that, since it'd be to no avail.
I have even uninstalled Flash Player using the uninstaller executable that's supposed to remove everything from Flash Player and tried to install the version that worked prior to the update and it's as if something from Flash isn't being removed because the problem happens with the old version too as well.
Our computer specs are as follows:
Manufacturer: CyberPower, Inc.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory(RAM): 3.00GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Actual card is ATI Radeon 4850)
If I should post something else, let me know and I will. This problem is kind of annoying to be honest so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Hello,
Sadly this does not fix the problem on either computer. The video still comes in distorted while watching videos and the graphic card still crashes on song change while listening to a youtube playlist. The drivers are updated on both computers. As stated, this started happening when auto-updating to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the system tray icon. I can't even un-install flash and revert back to the version that worked before this update since it's as if something from Flash Player doesn't get uninstalled when using the uninstaller because the problem happens on all versions of Adobe Flash Player that I've tried. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out. Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.

Is there a way to have one flash player play all moives on a web page ?

Hi,
Is there a way to have one flash player play all movies on a web page ?   For example, you have a list of FLV movies on a page and you click on any them and it will play on the same player on the web page. Or does each movie needs it's own ?
Thanks in advance..
Peter

Yes, for the design I made, the movies are loaded from the server. Here is the code for the design. It is done using AS2, and the stage includes two buttons (s1, s2) for playing the individual videos, one button to play them both (playall), one after the other, and the video object (video1_video) that was added via small menu you find at the top of the library panel's frame.
I cannot say this would work directly for your implementation, but it gives you some things you can look into so that you can figure out how.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
// ignore whatever code is above this... the forum added it, not me
stop();
ncount = -1;
var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
        for (var prop in infoObject) {
               if(infoObject[prop] == "NetStream.Play.Stop" && ncount == 0){
                   video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
                   stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
                   ncount += 1;
playall.onRelease = function(){
      ncount = 0;
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
s1.onRelease = function(){
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
s2.onRelease = function(){
      ncount = -1;
      video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
      stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
I don't deal with video very often, so I have not created an AS3 version of this.

Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.170 videos

I am having problems with the latest Flash Player 11.9.900.170 on Windows 7. I followed all the instructions after installation and everytime that I go to a website the Adobe Flash Player Settings box covers the video with "allow" or "deny". And no matter what I set the download setting, this box is always blocking the video and if I hit "allow" or "deny", nothing changes?

You can set your storage settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
It is recommeded that you allow data to store temporarily for playback.

Flash player causing internet explorer 7 to crash

Flash player is causing internet explorer 7.0 to crash. Using
windows vista, brand new laptop. Many times while online, internet
will close and give error message that Flash player caused internet
to close. Have read everywhere and tried everything. Adobe doesnt
seem to want to help and i am getting tired of flash player causing

You need to close all iexplore.exe processes; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

Bottom bar in flash player is all black - no controls!

I'm put up a file at:
http://shmuelkatz.com/expt3.htm
And it does play my video, but the bottom bar of the flash player is all black. Normally I would expect at least what youtube shows - which is a start button, a pause button, a 'maximize' button, and so forth. But its all black.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gid

I should add that I have been told that I'm doing everything correctly, and that I should switch away from using Flash to using the competing products instead. I don't want to do that, because Flash is the standard, and my users might not want to download competing products that they never heard of. There seems to be no way to contact Adobe on this, since its not a paid-for product, but rather is a universally distributed free product.

Flash player won't play CNN video

Please help, I'm at my wits end. I've been working on this issue for a few weeks. I have Win7 / IE8 / FP 11.3.300.270
The problem is my flash player simply refuses to play videos from CNN. Everything else works fine. I've uninstalled and installed at least 100 times-nothing. I've set and reset all the settings suggested by Adobe.com-nothing. I've read and re-read forums in Google, Adobe and anything else I can find on the 'net-nothing.
This has become increasingly frustrating. Please help!!

I see the player open and all the periphreals load then I get a red circle in the middle of the player that says loading. When that stops the screen is just black-no video or sound...

Flash player 11.3 to 11.7.700.169 crash my sound card Creative audigy LS 5.1

flash player 11.3 to 11.7.700.169 crash my sound card Creative audigy LS 5.1, I Updated the sound card drivers, I run Windows XP pro, dirextx 9C 3GO ram, since winxp don't detected more then 3 GO over 4ram, I have a Nvidia video card but the video is not the issue here the audio is, ever since i updated flash player to 11.3 my sound keep crashing and no updated so far fix anything, I even tried to lower to 16 bit 48 mhz as suggested and that din't fix anything, I keep crash, also the only way to foix it I must manualy empty the temporary internet files and the temp files otherwise not even a reboot work, after i empty those files I need to reboot and the sound get back, I even tried to use the flash uninstall program before installing any updated, nothing work, i still get my sound card to crash...anyone know how to fix this issue? .I hope this will be fix soon, thank you.

As I say on my previous e-mail the problem started when I install the 10.3, and I did updated it every time there was an update t'ill now 11.7.700.169.
The problem started to happend only after I download flash player 11.3 , and still remain even after all the update to 11.7.700.169.
I can watch video the sound is good on firefox 20, that it not the problem here, the problem is after I have use flash player on blog or youtube , after I close the browser the sound card crash on all my device crash, I can't play mp3, or avi, the only sound I still can hear are the waves sound of windows.
I updated my sound card drivers, I even tried uninstall flash player using the program they sugess to download to uninstall flash player device.
I even try running the computer few days to see if my sound card was going to crash, I wasn't able to look any youtube video then, it was telling me I had to install the latess flash player device plugin to watch them, but everything was running fine with out any problem , my sound card never crash then, on the mean time flash player did an updated so I download it, and right after it was install the same sound card problem start to happend all over again.
If I open my browser to watch a video on youtube or I go to a blog with webcam, right after I close the browser "wich is firefox 20 since I also updated firefox everytime to make sure it's not the problem" The sound card crash, and the only way to make it work again is to before I reboot, I need to empty the temporary internet files manualy and the temp files, other wise even if I reboot the sound card won't work, if i don't empty those files, the problem remain.
I don't really understand how this happend and why, but I know that it's after I install the flash player that all my sound card problem started to happend.
Now I would gladly go with out flash player if I could still blog or look youtube, this way the problem was solved for me, but I can, and it's very annoying to go to all this process everytime to get back my sound.
Thank you.

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

Flash player causing blue screen upon loading video

Hello,
I have recently bought a new system. Everything runs perfectly except for one critical problem; I can't view flash videos or anything played in a web browser by flash player.
Animated flash advertisements will load to the first couple of frames, I will hear a bit of noise and then a brief 1-2 second system hang and straight in to a bluescreen. Same goes for youtube etc, might see a frame, if that, a brief noise and hang/bluescreen. This has occurred since I have purchased the PC.
I have attempted to fix the problem by updating my graphics drivers to the latest, updating flash player to the latest, updating sound drivers to the latest.
System:
AMD i5 750
ATI Radeon 5870
Realtek audio
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.6 -------------> Flash player 10.1
I am just viewing the bluescreen dump file, there is no bug check string, however it seems to indicate an AMD/graphics driver causing the conflict.

I don't know if it is Flash player particularly causing the problem, or if there is a conflict between it and some hardware.
So, can anyone help?

i'm having the same problem as the OP,
System:
Intel Q6600
ATI Radeon 4850 (drivers v10.9)
Realtek audio
Windows vista home premium 32-bit (auto-updates)
Chrome 6 & ie8 Flash player 10.1
my BSOD returned the error code: 0x00000116 (0x8505F150, 0x8F1E98B0, 0x00000000, 0x00000002)
atikmpag.sys - Address 8F1E98B0 base at 8F1E4000, datestamp today
it started before last summer, it doesn't happen often but lets just say its making me rather nervous to use youtube and other sites that use flash now.
i've read allot of people have this problem and have traced it to using flash. i hope somebody at adobe is listening and not trying to blame hardware makers or drivers about this problem.
i disabled hardware acceleration, i hope this does the trick until a real fix can be found
btw if any flash animation gives a BSOD how else could we turn it off ? Think about it for a second people

Flash player show black screen on playing streaming video.

Hello All,
I'm using Bitgravity live stream in flash AS3.0. The video stream work pecfectly in FP 9. I have recently migrated to Flash CS5. I have published my player in Flash player 10. It provide better rendering and high video quality, almost like HD. But there is some issue while playing video stream in FP 10. I''m using netstream. publish(). method. Some time the Flash player show totaly black screen and but audio still plays. If we press F5 on browser it may come or may not work fine.
Case1: Customer 1 using FP 10 turn off Hardware rendering and black out screen ploblem solved.
Case2: Customer 2 using FP 10 truned on Hardware rendering the Black out screen problem resolved.
I'm confused with the solution that i should provide to my customer, since it is very difficult to debug the error. For the time i have switched back to FP9 + CS4.
How can we determine the issue. ?
Does GPU capability is having some pipeline issue with decoding the incoming H.264 packets.with acc audio? Or the stream have some issue that flash is unable to recognize at first time?
Thanks,
Ajitpal

Sounds like you've got malware alright.
As far as image burning, I ONLY use Roxio Media Creator, or PowerISO to burn images to disk. Nero will do it, but I can't run it with Roxio (conflicts).
You need to do thorough virus scan and cleanup.
