Flash Player freezes my system with Windows XP.  Won't play videos.

When I download the player and install it, then try to pay a video either on youtube or any other site, my mouse freezes, 1o seconds later my screen goes blank and the blue light behind the power button on the monitor starts to flash like it is hybernation mode.  I then have to push the power button on the computer to shut it off and then restart.  I have to unistall the Flash in order to just go to some websites, much less watch video.  ANy ideas???

What is your display adapter, and what device driver version do you have installed?

  • Installing flash player on old sytem with window xp 32 bit

    Having trouble installing flash player. get to about 71% installled and then error out with failed to register.  Need help in find the correct soultion to fix the problem. I have tried about every solution that is recommended.  Had trouble the last time when tryinh to install verion #12.

    Hi Oldman7,
    Thanks for posting the new files.  Please try the recommendation in the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note, but use the reset_fp15.bat.zip file I posted previously, and take heed of the warning on the page, before proceeding.  You'll definitely want to back up your system, create a System Restore Point, and back-up the system registry (although this last item is not mentioned in the tech note).
    Essentially the 'failed to register' error is being returned due to 'access denied' permissions errors (for both you and Vinix Wu).  The permissions need to be repaired fro Flash Player to register.

  • Is flash player 11.3 compatible with Windows vista 64 bit?

    I don't have major issues with the video and sound (the flash player used to crash frequently but that seems to have been resolved). But I can't adjust the volume with the volume control wheel when I watch videos on firefox. When I check volume mixer the flash player is tied to the speaker, not firefox.
    The product description for flash player 11.3 seems to suggest that it will not support Windows Vista 64 bit. Should I revert back to an older version? What's the most straightforward way to do that? Is the Adobe team fairly close to finding a solution?
    Much thanks to anyone who provide some answers for people who aren't computer savvy - like me.

    Previously, with separate 32-bit and 64-bit installers, you could run the 64-bit installer on Vista, and it would work correctly.  However, it was not officially supported by Adobe.
    Now with the 11.3 combined installers, I do not know what it installs on Vista.  I do not have Vista available, so I cannot test it.  Can you tell me what files you have in
    C:\Windows\system32\macromed\flash ?
    C:\Windows\syswow64\macromed\flash ?

  • Flash player is not working with windows 8.1 and ie11

    I am so tired of the message to remove active x or enable flash player. On windows 8.1 the next message is that flash player is embedded in 8.1. I also have ie 11 and had to load Google Chrome because my Media Player does not gee haw with 8.1. If I had not bought a new PC with 8 loaded believe me I would still have windows 7 or the windows 2010 Home and Student. Tell me please what to do.

    IE11 is a "Rolling Train Wreck". Combined with 8.1 it is, without a doubt, the worst pile of garbage to EVER come out of Redmond, WA.
    MS deliberately altered the "User-Agent Strings" to make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for pages and sites to ID it. (See: IE11's Screwed up User-Agent Strings)
    The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    Just purchased a new computer it has Windows 8.1 on it--Wanted to watch a You Tube video---and it said to update Flash Player--well It doesn't work at all.  Nothing I can do to make it work---any ideas on how I can get this to work--or what ever it takes for videos, and graphics.

  • Flash player will not work with Windows Vista?

    I installed flash player but had to uninstall it after I did an update as my Pc would not work properly. Does anyone know which version will work please. Thanks.

    I have a machine with Vista Ultimate SP2 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 and it works as it should.
    What exactly does "my PC would not work properly" mean?

  • In Flash CS4 a generated html with swf file won't play swf

    Using Flash CS4 and having the Flash plug-in ver 10 on my PC, the generated html file will not play the swf in the browser.
    I noticed that the active-x javascript is now included in the header as well as the javascript portion in the body tag.
    But it won't play.  I get the typical blank window in IE with the "X" in the upper left corner.
    I don't have this problem with Flash CS3.
    Any ideas what may be going on?
    Thank you.

    I am having similar difficulty; mostly I am confused.
    I want to open a flash video file in a frame within a webpage.
    I have generated a Flash CS4 html and swf file. When loaded they play, but they play on a separate, full size web page, not in the frame where I want it.
    I then generated FLV and F4V files but that doesn't work.
    It appears that I need to insert the object and embed tags "for Flash Movies" in the html file.
    Once I do that, do I go back to only putting in the html and swf files and create a link to the html file to bring up the video in the target frame?
    What are the FLV files for?

  • Windows iTunes won't play video from shared libraries

    Hey guys.
    There are 4 computers with itunes in my house. I have a MBP and a Mac Mini with 10.6.4. Also, my brothers have 2 PCs with Windows 7.
    I store my media on the Mac, but would like to share it with them thru iTunes on the other PCs. So, we all set up library sharing and updated to iTunes on all machines to 10.0.1.
    Problem is: The windows PCs can't play any shared video.
    Whether it's from Mac or PC, iTunes on the Windows PCs can't stream any videos from any of the other 3 shared libraries. The Macs do it fine from the other sources, Windows PCs don't.
    All that being said, the Windows PCs do play video in their own libraries. Just not Shared ones.
    As I said, all 4 PCs have the latest OSs, iTunes and QT. Any ideas?

    It has to do with how I was transscoding the videos. Handbrake tags the videos in a way that makes it impossible to play in Windows. Retagging with a program like MetaX will solve the issue.

  • Flash Player Freezes While Buffering Then Won't Proceed Even After Computer Restart

    I am having frequent problems with Flash Player freezing while watching Korean dramas hosted online (http://www.mysoju.com/empress-chun-chu/). Flash Player freezes while viewing file and then won't proceed past that point even if I close all browser windows and even if I restart my computer. Sometimes I can get around this by saving the file to my hard drive using Real Player "download this video" button. However, the download often freezes at what appears to be the same point as the freeze in the streaming Flash Player. Even if I delete this partial file from my hard drive, repeated efforts to download the file again result in instantaneous file completed messages with a new incomplete (partial) file of exactly the same size as before. I can't find where Flash Player or  MS Windows Vista is storing the partial download files. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.
    It appears these Flash Player freezes may be causing or resulting from DSL modem or wireless router connection problems that result in the internet light on the DSL modem not being lit. These problems seem limited to web browser pages with flash player.

    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,

  • Flash Player 11 64-bit for Windows with 32-bit Debugger Keeps Crashing

    Hi,
    I have been battling with this crashes since Flash Player 11 came out. I have a 64-bit Windows machine and installed Flash Player 11+ 64-bit with 32-bit debugger. Every time a run my application it crashes. Even YouTube crashes also. If I don't install the debugger everything works fine (but then I can't debug my application). I tested it in Firefox, Chrome and IE and all of them crash.
    I am contented with FP 10.+ for now (until Adobe come up with a solution)  because it works for me including the debugger but I have an issue with my application that only occurs in Flash Player 11.
    If anyone else knows a fix or how to get around this, please share. Thanks so much.

    i have the same problem and also the uninstaller tells there is an error but no information is available.
