Flash Player is Freezing Windows 7 64 Bit when in Full Screen

Windows 7 64 bit is freezing or restarting when playing video in Full Screen.  I have removed hardware acceleration  I have installed the new 10.1 version of Flash.  The new version worked for NBC website but not for ABC and HULU.  If this is an Adobe issue, they NEED to resolve it!

Hi nascar, where to start? LOL, Well regarding that "technician", hopefully he won't be working for MS very much longer.
I don't believe that at all. Microsoft has so much free tech support for any Update they issue, Security related issues are free, Any IE Update, Any Service Pack Update and also any Internet Explorer upgrade and on and on. I use MSE also and am having a problem with the icon not staying in my system tray. I can contact MS for free support if I want. I choose to search and fix it myself. But it is there, and free.
To have automatic updates is a choice. I prefer to just be notified and choose which ones to Install.
Regarding the ActiveX Control for Flash Player. Yes it is the main factor. In order to Install Flash Player, one must be the Administrator and use that account. The reason is that has the permissions required to Install ActiveX Controls and write to the Windows Registry, which other user accounts to not have. This is not an Adobe requirement, it is a Microsoft requirement. It is their Technology, so they call the shots. Now exactly at this point in the Installation process enters the Anti-Virus/Firewall programs. They are there to BLOCK ActiveX Controls, right? Therefore there are Uninstall instructions that Adobe has issued. Also Adobe has a Troubleshooting guide that is very helpful. Problems come about because many people are in a hurry and click on Uninstall and click on Install and don't bother with the guides:-)
I would make an adjustment on your IE Security Settings however. What ActiveX Setting was causing the security error, the one for the Internet Zone?
With the talent you have in all you have done on your computer, I'm sure that must be your business:-)
These two links may be helpful just to have on hand:

I'm glad you finally have FP installed and working. That was a lot of work tho.
MSE/AVG info to follow.

  • Help Please? Flash Player not working, windows 7 32 bit IE.

    Hi. I cannot get the Flash player to play content in Internet Explorer 32 bit. I am extremely frustrated.  My info is:
    Windows 7/64 bit
    All windows updates are current
    Dell studio 1749 Lap top
    IE 8 32 bit
    IE 8 64 bit
    32 bit Flash Player 10.1.85.3
    64 bit flash player "square"  10.2.161.22
    windows firewall
    High speed cable with wireless router
    Avast antivirus free  5.0.677
    I have spent several days reading this forum as well as other forums on the same subject and have tried many many suggestions that have been posted without results. I have checked my user account settings, mine is set to administrator. I have checked and rechecked Internet explorer internet option settings and tried them all including none ( set to not recommended  lowest  settings) for all the zones. I have reset internet explorer settings under the advanced tab. I have tried to install the flash player many times using both the auto install from the browser window as well as the manual download and install program from your web site many times. I have uninstalled from windows control panel and also using your manual uninstall program between each reinstall attempt.
    I have restarted both my computer and internet explorer after each install and uninstall so many times I can't count. There are many other things I have tried as per some of the things I have read but so far no success. The interesting thing i find is while trying to fix this problem i downloaded the flash player code named "square" 64 bit and it works perfectly using Internet explorer 64 bit.
    Internet explorere Adobe add ons are:
    In IE 32 bit add ons listed are;
    shockwave activeX control  - enabled
    get_atlcom Class  - enabled
    In IE 64 bit add ons listed are;
    shockwave flash object   -  enabled
    Files installed on my harddrive are;
    in windows/sysWOW64/macromed/flash
    Flash10k.ocx
    Flashinstall.log

    Flashinstall.log
    Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.dll
    Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.exe
    I hope you are able to assist me in fixing this problem.
    Thanks

    Good Morning.
    I can not get the batch file to create a log file. Anyway the general message throughout the entire batch file report is that nothing succeded.  Each time it tried to create a reg key the resulting message is :
    Regsetsecurity error : 5 access is denied
    When trying to reset FP security permissions:
    Set security privilage : access is denied
    Warning  :unable to SeSecurityPrivilage privilage. This privilage may be required.
    Then when it tries to create file "macromed" error is
    Createfile error : 1314  A required privilage is not held by the client
    Anyway this gives you a general idea of what has happened running the batch file,
    I am starting to think we are spending far to much time on this ,but I enjoy the  challange to correct the problem.
    If this is due to a corruption or some such thing in the registry I could have reformatted and reinstalled My system complete in less than a day. This is the fourth day on this.
    If the User Accounts list me as the administrator and there are no other accounts how can I not have the required permissions?

  • How do I prevent Adobe Website attempt to install Flash Player which freezes Windows e-mail browser.

    For past several days, my Windows e-mail browser frequently freezes and must be closed. This occurs whenever message near top of browser states that Adobe website wants to install Adobe Flashplayer. Windows explanation states that termination is a result of Data Execution Prevention (DEP). How do I stop Adobe Website attempts to install Flash Player, or if that is not possible, what is a solution? I have uninstalled Flash Player in an attempt to resolve problem without success.

    You can find a link and instructions for the last version of Flash Player compatible with PowerPC in this FAQ:
    What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
    For what it's worth, Apple itself discontinued support for PowerPC with their operating systems back in 2009 with the release of Snow Leopard.  Regardless, I know its frustrating when your system is no longer supported.  Hopefully the instructions I posted in the FAQ allow you to get Flash content running again.

  • How do i download and use adobe reader, flash player etc for windows 7 64 bit program. nothing works

    I have tried almost everything and adobe stuff doesn't work with windows 7 64 bit program. SUGGESTIONS?

    Hi, First, you must use the 32bit since Adobe Flash Player does not support the 64bit. Second you must be the Administrator in order to install the ActiveX Control and write to the Windows Registry which Flash Player does.
    Read over this Adobe Uninstall info: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    You can also read this troubleshooting guide:

    Are you using any other browsers? If so which one and the version?
    Your Anti-Virus/Firewall ?

  • Flash Player Update Fails Windows 7 64 bit??

    This problem has been the case on many applications & websites over the past 8 months, which renders much of the web and some of my software, useless.
    I have followed all recommendations, from MS, Adobe and from suggestions on many, many forums, yet still the problem of installing the FlashPlayer update continues to hamper my Windows experience.  I have been FORCED to use Chrome as my browser instead of Internet Explorer and now my printing software from HP no longer works.
    The ActiveX control/Update from Adobe will NOT under any cenario, complete installation and continues to fail when registering.  I am using admin rights and I am very competant with the use of computers and software.  The only thing I am reluctant to do, is to manually edit the registry.
    Searching the net, I find this is a very common issue which is yet to be resolved. Why is this?  The installation of any software in this day & age, should be straight forward and simple.  This issue has been a problem for thousands of people for quite some time and I am dismayed that it has continued!! Why have Microsoft & Adobe failed the end user in respect of this?
    I have tried all previously suggested options and procedures set out here, on the Adobe website and those recommended in forums.  I have also tried the option to un-install Flash Player (with Adobe Flash Un-installer), and re-install from scratch.  I do have full admin rights on this PC and have run the update as Administrator.  I have - before someone should ask - followed the install procedure with all security software disabled.
    So sensible people, with sensible answers, how did you fix this issue on your machine?
    Thank you!
    (OS: Windows 7 64bit, IE 10 - Latest - also now have to use Chrome to view online video content).

    'Failed to register' is caused by inadequate/corrupted registry key permissions.
    One possibility to fix it (does not work in some cases): How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?
    Another possibility that I have just though of: can you try http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/
    Also, have you tried to use the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header ?

  • Why are Adobe Flash Player scripts freezing?

    Hello,
    I've noticed in the last week or two my scripts for Adobe Flash Player completely freezing up. After a full five minutes of freezing, I get a general warning that:
    "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
    "become" unresponsive? lol Anyway, even after I click "yet", it still takes a least another five minutes before it unfreezes. Now, I used to problems with Jave scripts, but those wouldn't take tens-of-minutes to abort. I've literally had Adobe Flash Player scripts freezes for 15 minutes at a time leaving my browser completely unresponsive.
    It all happened after updating my plug-ins. I've tried messing around with them, disabling them all. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player and making sure I had the right version for my old-ish operating system (Windows XP). That seemed to work for one session, but it's back to freezing after logging into places like mail.com.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is this a plug-in issue? How can be be remedied?

    Unfortunately, this is not my problem. I can video videos on sites like Youtube, just find. The scripts freeze up on random pages. Basically, anywhere with ads that use Adobe Flash Player. It didn't use to do this.

  • How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

    How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
    I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
    The operation system is Windows XP.
    They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
    We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash.  You are left with no video signal to the monitor.  Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
    We have tried:
    Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
    Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
    Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
    There seems to be two ways to work round this issue.  One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows.  The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
    Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
    Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC?  Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel.

    Hi.
    I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
    I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
    If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
    If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
    Thanks.

  • Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

    Hello all,
    Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
    I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
    The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
    Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
    So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
    Greetings
    Erik-Jan Vriens

    Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
    In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
    One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
    Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.
