Flash Player loads the CPU to 80-100%. All browsers.

Hello. Flash Player loads the CPU of my computer to 80-100% even on slower flash applications. ALL actions of the FAQ tried. Problems are observed on all browsers (FireFox, Opera, Chrome). Video card drivers are updated, the player itself as the latest version. Windows 7 x 64, AMD Athlon II x2 M300, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570.

What is your CPU usage when you visit this page: Flash Player Version
Do you recall if this occurred with previous versions of the player? What do you see when you revert back to Flash Player 10.3? Also, do you have hardware acceleration enabled or disabled?
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 Crashes On All Browsers

Hello, recently my computer went completely nuts. Prior to this I did not mess around with anything important on my computer. The next day I start it up and my main browser, Google Chrome, could not load any pages from any website. After a while it told me that the pages were unresponsive and I have to kill them, which did nothing. I try the other browsers and they seem to work fine... accept whenever I end up on a website which requires Flash Player for Firefox it would say that the plugin has crashed and for Internet Explorer it would crash the whole page, load it up again, crash the whole page again, load it up again... I have tried restarting, uninstalling, reinstalling and some website even suggested a previous version which was more stable, no luck. I also noticed that I have to open most programs (such as Steam) with "Run this program with computability mode for:" otherwise it would crash and close the program. I am fresh out of ideas and any help would be much appreciated!(I have screenshots but it sais doesn't support property of method and I don't see any attachment possible)

How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

Basic Overview
I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
At Home
If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
At School
At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
Question
How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
Thanks you to everyone who helps!
-Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player. So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home? Flash Player Projector?
If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

According to website I have Flash Player installed but I cannot run a program (BBC iPlayer DeskTop) that requires 64 Bit Flash player Any ideas?
Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

You can't.
Android (Google) dropped all support for Flash last summer. The reason is the same one Apple gave seven years ago when they released iOS: Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it kills batteries... as well as shortening the battery life in mobile devices.
Android recommends using either "Dolphin" or Puffin" as your browser (BOTH are free in the GooglePlay store). They use "server side rendering" of Flash content to reduce the load on your Android device.

Flash Player using high CPU constantly and heating system

Hi I am in India ... from last few months I am noticing that Flash Player is using too much CPU when ever I run IE, Explorer or opera ... when I disable Flash Player then IE and opera work on normal CPU ... I have uninstalled Chrome since I was unable to disable flash player on it ... I have 2nd generation i5 .. 3gb ram ... dedicated 1gb nvidia graphics card ... 750 Gb hdd ... win7 home premium 64 bit ... I am able to easily play Crysis 2 ... halo ... far cry ... wolfenstein 2009 and many more intense graphic games on my laptop without over heating it ... but flash player causes excessive CPU constant use and system to over heat if I watch a complete movie on you tube ... any other compatible player available plz do tell ..... rgds

Hi ... I use admin account only to install new software or games ... for all other uses I log in as an ordinary account
But even when logged in with admin account the same prb persists ... cause of this flash player prb I have even stopped playing games on FB & Zynga ...
For this flash player problem I even took it to acer service center and since I have extended service warranty the engineers there ran acomplete check on ram, hdd, graphic card and they also did a complete fresh install of win 7 home premium 64 bit edition. They even completely serviced it, cleaned it and applied new thermal paste ... but even they were baffled that my system can stand up to high intensity graphic games running from HDD or DVD rom or USB pen drive but if I try to run graphic flash player games for long ie castleville or watch a long movie on you tube then flash player can single handedly cause CPU usage to be constantly high leading to system getting heated up.
Guess will just have to be content without flash ... but some sites require flash player to be enabled and therein lies the problem

Flash Player on the Touch's Safari Browser?

I'm I right in assuming that the Safari browser on the (16GB) iPod Touch does not support Flash, as so far any attempts to use Flash programs like YouTube (not through the dedicated browser) and other video streaming applications have not worked. If it does support it, how do I go about installing it? Thanks
Another slightly related question: when I use the dedicated YouTube browser I keep finding that it crashes a lot, and when it doesn't crash it takes an awful long time to load and is very slow to respond to the video controls. Is this how it is meant to be or is there another reason behind this. Thanks again.

There is currently no Flash player for the Touch. There is no way to install anything that will enable it. Whether there ever will is beyond the scope of my crystal ball.
Can't answer the YouTube question as I've never had that problem.

How do I install flash player from the home screen?

I am operating Mac OSX. I have flash player version 16.0.0. I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date. I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com. There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be. There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee. I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt. I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt. I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt. I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated. How do I install flash player?

Hi Alicia,
If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files. You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file. Please do the following:
Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
Follow prompts to install Flash Player

I have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and updated to the latest flash player but the audio on youtube music still won't respond. Any suggestions besides buying a new computer?

I have an eight year old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and just installed the latest Flash Player but the audio won't play on the youtube music website. What else do I need to update or install to listen to the music?

just installed the latest Flash Player
Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player? Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
Which browser & version are you using? Have you tried other browsers?
Please advise.

How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5 has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Install the flash player in the iPhone

I enjoy surfing the web with my iPhone 3G. Please explain how to install the flash player in the iPhone.
Thanks!

There is some flyby-night application in Installer.app that allows for flash web-surfing. But it doesn't work too well, and isn't worth the risk.

When starting Firefox 3.6.11 the CPU goes to 100%.

After upgrading from 3.6.10 to 3.6.11 I'm unable to start Firefox in a reasonable period of time (3 minutes). The CPU goes to 100% for one of my 4 cores, when left to its own, the Firefox window appears after 18 minutes 43 seconds. My CPU is a Q6700 (Quad 2.66Ghz).

How can I go back to 3.6.10??

Flash Player loads the CPU to 80-100%. All browsers.
