Flash Player uses excessive memory when in use for a long time.

Good morning,
I'm using firefox with flash player viewing streaming video from www.bloomberg.com/tv/us.The longer this runs the more user memory it uses (from Windows Task Manager, Processes tab).
I had this site running for about 4 houres and at that time it was using 1.7 GB memory and the video was getting eratic. This shows up in a file called "plug-incontainer.exe". I terminated the process and flash player disappeared with a message the said "flash player has crashed".
It doesn't matter if I use Flash Player 10 or 11 or Firefox 3.6 or 21.01.
This also occurs with Internet explorer Ver. 8 except it's manifested in a second instance of Iexplore. Same creeping memory useage.
OS is Windows Xp sp2, processor is a 3GHz hyperthreading P4 with 2GB of installed memory.
I really don't think it should do this.

Was the computer turned off or asleep? It won't hurt to have it taken off. Normally I wouldn't worry about it unless it was going to be a few more months.

I downloaded and installed Firefox 4, but it won't open. I have used an older version of Firfox for a long time. I now have nothing. What gives?

I've used an older version (3.?) of Firefox for a long time. I had loads of bookmarks. I downloaded the new Firefox 4. It won't open and the older version is now gone. I use a Mac with a 400 MHz PowerPC G4 with 1.12 GB SDRAM and a 60 GB Internal Hard Drive. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I really need to recover the older version of Firefox or make the new version work.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Why does AVG Internet Security keep warning me that Firefox is using excessive memory and advisin me to close it and reopen?

My browser was open and I was on Facebook. A message appeared from AVG Internet Security 2012, which is operating on my computer, telling me that FireFox was using excessive memory -- "260 MB of memory" and suggesting I close FireFox and reopen.
This has happened several times; also when I was on CNN and Yahoo webpages.

How much RAM do you have?
300MB is a lot if you only have 512MB, but not too much if you have 1 or 2 GB, or more.

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

After updating my 3gs to ios5 nothing works properly the phone is slow, no service, rapid battery drain, excessive heat when in use for longer periods of time, does not connect to vehicle stereo through usb, and screen is on but not responding to control

my 3gs battery dies rapidly and gives off excessive heat when in use no service anywhere, slow reponse time sometimes not at all like lights on but no one home, calls drop can text no 3g can not connect to vehicle usb as a note i restored the phone from my back up

Same problems, unfortunatley I updated to 5.0 1 hour before going on holiday for three weeks and no way to restore my phone to try to remove it.At the same time, drop outs, range problems and the most annoying was my music and apps were corrupted and would not function properly :-(

Since installing the last update I am getting warnings through AVG that friefox is using excessive memory - 215 MB. Please provide input as to whteher this is a matter of concern becuase the window is coming up constantly.

I am on a dell 620 laptop. Every time I get on Firefox, an AVG window is popping up saying that excessive memory is being used (215 MB) and it recommends that I log out and log back in for faster processing. Logging out does not make a difference. The last update also disabled my AVG tool bar from the internet screen which I am not sure matters much, but I am concerned about the excessive memory use warning. Can you please provide me guidance about this matter?

Thanks but I have no idea how to do that and don't know the purpose of the add- ons or what is considered critical in the updates so that is outside of my knowledge level and comfort. How do I find out what is critical in the update without devoting a major chunk of my life to it? This is getting frustrating from my perspective. I am going to contact AVG and ask them how this pop up is gauging what to interpret critical memory use. If you have any other thoughts they are appreciated

What flash player to use on iPad 2 that is similar to Adobe Flash Player? Need this to choose files for upload of assignments to my online university. I started my profile using my iPad 2 and couldn't choose a picture to upload as well. Hmm

There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

You should post that on the Boot Camp forum, that is where all the Boot Camp and Windows guys hang out.
Good luck.

I have Internet Explorer 7, not 9. I have downloaded Flash Player 12 and am unable to use the web.

I have Internet explorer 7, not 9. I have downloaded flash player 12, and am able to use it on website, "American Greetings," but am unable to use it to send or receive cards on website, "JacquieLawson.com." Why not? I am very frustrated and wonder if I need to get a computer person to help me - darn. I am older, and they are so expensive. Please, someone, help me! Karen K

Karen,

Flash Player Install Error: Memory can not be "written"

Actual error (with fake addresses because I get a different address each time it fails this way) is
CAPTION: iexplore.exe - Application error
TEXT: "The instruction at "0x99999999" referenced memory at "0x99999999". The memory could not be "written".
So far I have used the uninstall_flash_player.exe and tried the reset_fp10.cmd with the MS subinacl.exe tool. I have used a registry
scrubber (RegScrubXP) and re-tried all of the above. I still can not get the flash player to load and I still get the error each time I try. I have run IE8 manage add-ons and the flash player is not listed. I am at my wit's end, I have searched everywhere and tried everything. This is a brand new computer with very little other than MS products loaded. Nothing is loaded that is not loaded on my other 3 computers that run flash player 10 just fine. I have run complete diagnostics on mt Thinkpad t500 and all checks out.
Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad model 2242CTO
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.53 Ghz
Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP 3
Browser: Microsoft IE 8

I had the same problem as previous described. Some how I lost Flash Player. The first indication I got was when I went to Utube site and tried to view aa clip. It came back with an error saying I had java turned off or Flash Player was not installed. It gave me link to install flash player and tried to install it and failed with memory written error. The error message also said it was coming from Abode DLM. I was also at the point that a banner appeared that said an Adove system was trying to install and add on DLM. This also caused IE to hang and it took quite sometime to close the IE to get out this hang condition with a bunch of error reports being sent to MIcrosoft. After going to Sun System and testing my Java which it said was ok, I tried to install flash player. Same thing happen.again. I download Flash Player uninstall and ran it. Tried install again. Same results. I found Adobe tech note how to uninstalled DLM. I found none of the modules that it indicated should be deleted. I tried installing Acrobat Reader which I already have on the system same error. I found this forum and tried manual loading of Flash Player and that worked. Now things are working ok except that if I try to download Flash player It still fails but the error has changed a little. I hear the beep to approve the install of DLM addon but IE fails cleanly and when I close the window said had the following error. I think the problem is DLM add on related.
I am running IE V 8.0.6.001.18702

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,
eidnolb

I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB
