Flash player/Hardware acceleration

We can no longer watch videos in full screen mode on sites such as Hulu etc without disabling hardware acceleration.
Many others have this problem as i searched the net and found many other postings.
Hardware acceleration is needed with many programs. I'm suprised you get away with selling major customers faulty software.

Is the Flash player GPU acceleration supported on the ATI Radeon X1900 XT?

Anyone know if Flash player 11.1.102.55 GPU acceleration is supported on the ATI Radeon X1900 XT? I didn't see it explicitly listed in the unsupported hardware list (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/921/cpsid_92103.html). The card is not displaying any of the stage 3D content unless I disable hardware acceleration. I get the same results whether I use Firefox, Chome, or Safari.
I'm on a Mac, my system specs are;
Processor 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
If I need to I'll replace the card but I want to make sure it's the issue before I do.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I'm wondering the same thing. I have an X1950 pro and am trying to get it to help out with youtube videos.
The latest X**** driver was released in 2010, and the original driver at the very earliest March 2009. Both the X1900XT and X1950 Pro are not listed on that list.
However, I do recall feeling Flash player 11 being slightly faster than Flash 10 when I first installed it. Flash still didn't become "10x" faster and 720p through 1080p video certainly still isn't smooth.

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

AdBlock Plus isn't maintained or connected to Mozilla as they didn't develop it. ABP and Flash don't interfere with each other except on same cases that ABP blocks Flash content.

If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

Help please, Flash Player still won't work

I posted a question a few weeks ago but have received no answers and I still can't find a solution to my problem, it is driving me crazy as there are so many sites that rely on Flash Player and I can find no way round it.
My question is as follows: I am able to uninstall and install Flash Player 'successfully' but as soon as I need to use it I am informed that Flash Player is not installed and advised to install it (again), but this doesn't help. I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE 9 (although this is not a 64-bit version) and have been able to run Flash Player until recently. It has now stopped working though. I have tried the entire list of options on how to start it running you provide at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_7__Disable_Fl ash_Player_hardware_acceleration and at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_heading_6, but all without success. The only thing I was unable to do was disable Flash Player hardware acceleration as right clicking on the box did not provide me with a "settings" option.
Please help me as I have hit a brick wall and can find no other suggestions on how to fix this problem. I have hunted in every forum and all the suggestions are the same and I have tried them all over and over without success. What else can be causing this problem? Whenever I install I am told the installation is successful but then told I need to download Flash Player again whenever I came to use it.
Flash player is enabled, Active X Filtering is disabled, all Flash Player browsing data is deleted, Flash Player cache is removed plus I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works. The only thing of note is that on the pages referred to above and a number of others where boxes are supposed to display the version of Flash Player installed or an error message, for me the boxes appear to be simply grey boxes. Please help

Still have this problem and still had no response. Can no one help me !?!

I use https and youtube videos show "an error occured, try again", i try clearing the cache and cokies, i try uncheck the hardware acceleration but no result

also i try set the security.ssl.allow to true but no result.
everything right with IE but problem only with firefox :(
please help me

Hi,
Does this happen in Safe Mode or with extensions/plugins disabled? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
[Try the add on HTTPS Everywhere and disable youtube.com in the HTTPS Everywhere rules and I can watch YouTube videos in this Firefox profile as long as it's not over SSL]
In youtube you can also try to change the video quality or disable hardware acceleration.

Flash player youtube problem

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

Mouse pointer is well above where it should be on Flash Player.

Every time I use a Flash Player window in Firefox, the mouse pointer is horrifically inaccurate. For example, on an online flash game, I'll be hovering over the top of three interactive boxes, but if I click it will click on the bottom box. It's as if it's cut off the bottom half of the player to click into and only allowed the top half, but when you click in the top half, it responds in the bottom half.
A really odd scenario, hopefully someone can help me out because it's stopping me playing any form of online flash game and that's how I pass most of the time!

Flash player crashing on Windows vista with 1.3 gh Intel processor - Is there a fix or is my processor just to slow for Flashplayer 14? I am on Firefox 31.

I am unable to Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration if it keep crashing as I am unable to access. I have cleared, reinstalled, etc.... and tried everything on these forums. I have also submitted crash reports to Firefox.

Hi userSharonD, if Flash newer than Flash 11.2 causes problems, there's a good chance that is due to the protected mode feature added in Flash 11.3. It has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason.
You can disable the feature by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts 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 (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

Adobe Flash Player sucks

I have tried everything suggested, it still downloads very
slow, like 1/2 second video and sound for like every five minutes
of wait time.
It would probably take more than 24 hours to view a 30 minute
video like this.
I tried you-tube and streaming video on other sites and it
still is too slow to watch.
A couple of days ago I could download streaming video from
one site that allowed me to use REAL PLAYER, and WINDOWS MEDIA
PLAYER and they down-loaded streaming video in real time the way
they should, so it can't be blamed on my ISP, or video card, or
machine, or anything else, it has to be the Adobe flash player that
want work correctly.
I uninstalled and installed many times and still will not
work right. I had IE 7 and uninstalled it and am now using IE 6 and
will not even work with IE 6 either.
Too bad the streaming video site that worked perfect doesn't
offer a choice of players anymore, they switched to
Adobe flash player, a real bummer, Does anyone have a magic
solution ?

Flash Player lags Firefox but doesn't when I disable Shockwave Flash Plugin

On certain websites with Flash based web players my whole of Firefox lags like crazy. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while to no avail (Tried resetting, re-installing, etc.) It mostly happens when I move my cursor over the Flash player. After I move my cursor so somewhere else on the webpage (a non-Flash part) it start flickering between the default cursor and pointer (clicking finger icon)
Now today I decide to uninstall the Flash application from my PC and reinstall it. After I uninstalled the Flash player suddenly I have no stuttering issues on Firefox anymore! But of course some other Flash related application do not work anymore.
When I re-install the Flash player it goes back to stuttering and lagging. When I disable the Flash player plugin in about:addons the stuttering is gone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It has been bugging me for so long now that I have to use Chrome to visit certain websites...

Flash Player stops playing games after most recent update.

My father uses the website PCHGAMES.COM, daily. He loves to play bingo. Earlier this week Flash Player updates itself and now PCHGAMES.COM, bingo will not play. It would let you chose which room to go to, and play the movie before the game, but when it gets to loading the room and chose the bingo cards all you get is a RED X. After coming over to see what the issue was, and following all solutions on Flash Player games, video, or audio don't work | Windows page... The only solution that works is #7. Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration. Once I followed these instructions, the bingo game played fine as long as he did not leave that page or window. If he got bored and went to play another game and then came back to bingo it would not work again. Then I would have to come back over and do #7. Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration, except this time it would be checking the box and Enable Flash Player hardware acceleration. My father is disabled and doesn't understand why all of a sudden bingo will not work when it has been fine for 3 years.
Currently his computer is using Windows Vista (32-bit), using IE Version 9.0.8112.16421, with Flash Player Version 11.1.102.63
Is there any way to fix this other than having to come back to Adobe's site and enable or disable this checkbox every time he wants to play bingo?

LW327, this is an issue that really annoys me! Laptop manufacturers produce their own 'custom' drivers that are actually, in most cases, exactly the same as generic drivers, except often years out of date! If there are actually any differences, then it's a few hooks into manufacturer installed programs, so installing a generic driver may, in the worst case, only cut down on some functionality with associated OEM supplied software.
There are 2 ways around your problem to install the newest Intel driver:-
1) Download the newest driver from Intel. Uninstall your current driver, reboot, and manually install the Intel one.
2) Download the zip version of the Intel driver. Unzip it to a directory, then update your driver by picking the location where you unpacked the archive. This allows any checks that may scupper an install over the top of a custom driver to be avoided.
Once you have the latest Intel driver installed, you'll get updates via Microsoft Update. There again, I just checked the Intel website and the latest G31/33 driver is dated May 2009, so installing it probably wont make any difference to your predicament. There again, the real issue here is that flash is messed up!
