Flash Player runs ad movies ???

A current version of Flash Player (or maybe Shockwave ???)
was recently downloaded onto my computer. This allows ads that
appear when I am on a web page to play as a movie/video. (Before
the upgrade, the ads appeared just as a still picture.) Some of
these video ads are VERY distracting because of the hyper-speed of
the ad content. What should I do on a global basis to turn off the
video ability of these "movie ads"? Many Thanks. TomPeters

Are you running the latest version of your browser? I remember I had issues with streaming videos with Flash when I was running a very outdated version of my browser.

  • After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

    After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed,  movies and tv shows  will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

    I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer.  When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times.  Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

  • Retina Display Support not working with Flash Player run applets

    When running flash player run websites (e.g. games or Youtube) the flash player applet fails to render for the Retina Display in the new Firefox 18 (although websites render for the retina display).
    Flash player renders everything including flash applets for the retina display in other browsers (Safari, Chrome)

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • Adobe Flash Player running slowly

    On both Safari 4.0.3 and Firefox 3.0.13, I am getting regular messages saying: A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive".
    Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player, or is am I missing something?

    I've seen this before and attribute it to bad scripting of the Flash in the web page. (I guess)...

  • Flash Player runs slow on my Mac

    When I browse flash websites on my Mac the flash movies run really slowly. I have the latest versions of flash player installed and I as a web designer I run Flash 8 on my machine.
    Is there a setting that needs to be adjusted or could have been changed to affect the flash player on my machine?

    Do you have the lastest beta?
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/
    If not, then try it, it may bring the speed up to your liking. If you do have the beta, then it may be what is causing the slow-down.

  • Flash player runs slow

    How do I correct this error message: "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?

    This only happens when I am playing an online game with
    "CLUB.LIVE.COM.SEEKADOO" Then I am promped to click yes or now. If
    I click no, the game freezes up. If I click yes, the game runs at
    warp speed. No matter what I choose, I am not able to play the
    game.

  • HT3810 For some reason I can not download adobe flash player to wach movie.web. That I trying to wach is :balkenyum

    Hello To whom may concern,i try download adobe flash player to be able to wach music and show on :balkenyum web.but I can not down load this player. Can you hel p me wit that thanks

    If you have an iOS device as is indicated by the iPhone listed in your footer, then there is no Adobe Flash Player available for iOS. 
    You cannot watch Adobe Flash movies from an iOS device.
    If this is not an iOS device and you do have a Mac...
    More specifically, do not download the Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS X from any web site other than the Adobe web site, and then only when you have specifically entered the Adoble site into your web browse, 
    If you are offered a download of Adobe products from any web sitesite - whether via a link at the site, or via a mail message or otherwise - do not allow the download.
    Above and beyond the various security issues with the actual Adobe Flash Player, downloading "Flash Players" from other sites is how you compromise your system.
    And make sure you keep your Adobe Flash Player current once you've installed it, as there have been security issues with that client.

  • Why won't Adobe flash player run on my Macbook?

    I go to the CNN site and their videos don't run. Instead they leave a message telling me to get Adobe Flash player, which I have done, apparently successfully, at least a dozen times. I've also uninstalled it and installed it again. This is an endless loop and I would be very happy to exit and watch the videos on the site or that people send me. Can anyone help me, please? I have a Macbook from about 2006, OS X 10.6.8. 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. 1 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    Many thanks.

  • Flash Player Runs Very Poorly on Some Sites

    Does anyone else have this issue? Its been pretty much years now and I dont get it. Why doesnt it get fixed if its not just me. I have a hp computer with win 7. core i7, 10gb ram, plenty of power etc. I cannot get ticketmaster pages with the choose your own seats to ever run smoothly. its so darn choppy i cant use firefox to ever search. Also have that issue on say ticketnetwork.com when searching for seats. I know ticketnetwork is using flash and im pretty sure ticketmaster is also. IE works fine as does chrome. is there a solution to fix this?

    Hi bjo16,
    Thank you for your question. Currently you have two installations of the Shockwave Flash player. Please uninstall the older version to see if there are improvements.

  • Flash Player Run Time in YouTube

    The last time I updated Flash Player I began to have a problem with runtime for YouTube videos (only YouTube).  The video runs for 56 - 59 seconds and then freezes.  The only way to view videos longer than 60 seconds is to refresh and select the time that the video froze at and I need to repeat this process every 56 - 59 seconds.  What is my problem?  How do I solve this issue?

    Hello, It seems that F.P. 10 installs in Firefox with no problems. In IE many are having issues.
    Which Windows version are you using?
    Which version of I.E.?
    Please list all Adobe programs that are listed in Add/Remove
    Also, all ActiveX in Manage Add ons, including name, Status, Type and File
    Are you using Google and or Yahoo Tool bars?
    Thanks, perhaps with this information, I can take a look at what the problem might be.

  • Flash player run around

    hi I'm trying to re-install Adobe Flash Player onto my Acer Aspire ONE 721 netbook(approx 6 mths old) after I had a new hard drive fitted quite recently to operate Oxford i pack DVD for my teaching job and I keep getting the run around. I have tried for two days to install this program and the computor is showing that I have downloaded it but the i-pack is telling my that to run the program I need Adobe Flash Player. I have deleted and tried to re-install the software but now all I'm getting is the download page telling my to download now with Google Chrome which I accept then it goes to the next page which tell me that it will come with Mcfee Security Scan Plus which I at first said no but now (just to get this thing onto my box to start working) i accept which then puts me back to the Google Chrome page and so on.I have deleted all programs to do with this effort and re-installed to see if this helps. I am using internet 9 and avast antivirus and I have used this Oxford i pack on this netbook before the new hard drive so don't see what the problem is, I have downloaded Adobe Reader X this morning and it is working fine so I now my connection is/was good.
    can anybody help me as I'm really annoyed now and need to resolve this problem soon

    Hi Carl
    Never a truer word spoken Sir about the dictionary 
    I need more experience and help from people like yourself to aid people like me thru these problems!!!!!!!.
    I now can use flash player as I went to a computer shop here close to home and explained the problems and after an hour the technician got the blessed thing working finally by uninstalling then downloading flashplayer on the shop computer then installing via memory stick and to solve the language problem he is installing windows 7 ultimate as the copy of windows 7 home premium I have doesn't allow a change of language to English, any other language except English.
    So the way that I got my problem sorted was firstly went to somebody who understood computers better than me and secondly he downloaded the Flashplayer program on memory stick on the shops computer and then reinstalling it onto my computer
    Thank you all for you advice and input and now hopefully this might help a few of you out there,if not keep on asking because sooner or later somebody will can up with a suggestion that will help you    

  • Flash player plays wrong movie after opening with Rosetta

    Hi,
    I just had the most peculiar experience. Tried to open a [flashmovie].flv (which in hindsight could be done with Quicktime), Flash START popped up, followed by a pop-up requiring a Rosetta installation. This is the first time I came across Rosetta. Installed it, tried to open the flv again, this started the flashplayer alright but it started a completely different movie.
    Opened the same file in Quicktime and that works fine.
    Can anyone recommend what to do? Do I have to deinstall rosetta and the flashplayer to prevent this kind of behaviour?

    Rosetta could come in handy for other apps you have hanging around, so I suggest you leave it where it is.
    To make movies open in QuickTime, select one and press Command-I to open the Information window. In the Open With pane, select QuickTime Player from the pop-up menu. Then click on the Change All button below, and click on the Continue button in the "Are you sure" dialogue box that appears.
    You can then throw away the Flash player, unless you prefer it and the developer comes up with a Cocoa/Intel version.
    HTH

  • Flash player runs slow, jerky, performance problems (Apple OS 10.4.7)

    I'm working on a Macintosh 1.35GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OSX version
    10.4.7. I have Flash Player 9 installed on my machine. When I run
    games on the Neopets web site (yes, I am an adult and yes the games
    are actually fun) many of them are so jerky and slow that they are
    completely unplayable. I have the same problem on another machine
    (Dual 2Ghz processor, Mac OS 10.4.7). What's weird is that the
    games used to run faster. I believe the slowdown occured in one of
    my recent OS updates. I've tried this with both Safari and Firefox
    and have the same problem with both.
    In particular: Moon Rock Rampage (try picking up a piece or
    killing a creature - both will grind to a halt), which can be seen
    here:

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
    Thanks,
