PC Freeze Using New Flash Player and Youtube/Vimeo

I just recently upgraded my flash player to the newest version.  No problems with Youtube before, but now there is a major conflict.   Whenever I try to load a youtube video, my computer freezes.  I have about 10 seconds or so where I can move the mouse/cursor, but no input is available.  And then my montior goes into sleep mode because it thinks my PC is in sleep mode.  The PC fans are still running but no input is accepted.  The only fix is to reboot, and then then next time it happens again.
The problem is not Youtube because I have the same problem on Vimeo.  And it's not firefox, I have the same problem on IE.  And Firefox is fully updated.
I've tried the usual uninstall and reinstall of flash and it didn't help.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the info, but now that you've reverted back to FP vs 9, there is no way to have you check files/settings etc.
I would only be guessing and that wouldn't be helpful.
Flash Player updated yesterday and you can see the versions at this site. Note that the version for Windows that use the IE browsers is different than Windows that uses the plugin browsers. Of course the Installer links will Install the appropriate version.

    adobe flash player and youtube are not working

    It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through.  I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

  • Ihave installed the latest Adobe flash player and youtube still tells me I need to install the latest adobe flash player.  what is the problem?

    I have installed the latest ersion of the Adobe flash player, and youtube still says I need to install the latest version of Adobe flash player in order to see the video.  What's the problem?

    You can check the version under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Flash Player. Did you quit and restart Safari after the install?

  • Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

    Hi guys,
    We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
    However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
    If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
    Software:
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
    CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
    RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
    Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
    Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
    Diagnostics:
    Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
    Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
    Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
    Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
    Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
    Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
    Tried on IE9 same issue
    Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
    Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
    Any help is appreciated

    I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
    Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
    Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
    Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
    Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
    Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
    Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
    I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

  • Computer Freezing using adobe flash player

    Hello, I have been using adobe flash player for a very long time and this issue has only appered recently.
    My computer would freeze for 1-3 mins when I watch youtube or watch streams( pretty much anything that uses adobe flash player)
    at first I thought it was my laptop but found that no one else had this issue and then I realized it might be the flash player ( smart right? )
    I am not sure what I must do to solve this issue please Help. I have the NV53 gateway laptop Windows 7 and I use firefox and google chrome, both had the same issue when watching videos.
    Please help, I never had this issue before and it was only with the recent update of adobe flash player. The freezes are random but when it occurs the screen freezes and the audio is still playing but super slow and it is very loud Please Help thank you!

    Can you verify that you are using the latest version of Flash Player?  You can get the latest version here:  get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    If you continue to have problems, please see this FAQ for some suggested solutions and details on what additional information we'll need to investigate further.

  • I download the new flash player and it goes all the way through and says finish but it does nothing

    I go to Adode's website and download the new flash player because I can't watch clips all the sudden and I go all the way through the download and click finish. But when I go to say youtube it says I need a newer flash player.  It's a never ending thing, no matter what I do it's the same over and over.  Please help

    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • Can I broadcast multiple video chats using Adobe flash player and "RED5 flash server"?

    Thanks,

    I am not sure whether any one of us has experience with RED 5 server - it would be best if you can post of RED 5 forums and try to get solution to your query. If you have any related query with respect to FMS - please feel free to post again.

  • I want to use adobe flash player and have it successfully installed.  How do I enable it to my default player over quick time?

    Mac Book Pro
    0S X 10.6.8
    I successfully installed Adobe flash player. Latest version.  How do I set this as my default player application?

    It's a web plugin. It only works in a browser and can't replace QuickTime Player or any other application.

  • I AM USING ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AND SILVERLIGHT, SHOULD I BE DOING THIS

    My web pages keep flashing in and out, Is my silverlight and adobe flash player causing this problem ?

    Generally speaking, most sites either use Flash or they use Silverlight, so there shouldn't be any conflict in having both of those installed.
    Could you describe the problem in more detail: is the page is just sitting there and it's flashing? Or does it flashes while you are trying to scroll the page, or when it is loading?
    Does this happen on all sites, or are there particular sites where you have this problem? Example addresses could be helpful.
    Sometimes if the display gets flaky and behaves erratically, it indicates that Firefox is not fully compatible with your graphics card drivers. This can occur after a Windows update or other system update. The standard workaround is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration for graphics. Here is where you set that:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This will take effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.

  • New Flash Player and GPU acceleration...

    Hy.
    I played this "example video" at 1080p (FF 3.6 and IE8):
    http://youtu.be/Ou6_MkIvKOo
    with flash build 10.2
    I got => CPU load: 3%-11% for the whole video.
    ok. I was happy, because I have seen that GPU acceleration worked fine!
    now...with flash 10.3 (and later, i.e. latest build) I get for this video --on the same machine with the same software/update--
    => CPU 17%-33%  !!! (the video's playback is good and smoothly, ok)..but...
    but...why there are big differencies in GPU rendering between 10.2 and 10.3??
    I think, the latest build the less CPU load, but it seems that I get the opposite...=> the newer build the bigger CPU load !!!  *confused*
    thanks.

    Hy Maestro!
    your video in FF:
    1) small window: sw video rendering + accel video decoding.
    2) full screen : accel + sw
    3) moving the pointer (it is NOT necessary moving it to the beginning! a bit forwards or a bit afterwards is ok)=> accel +accel for the whole video's lenght. ok.
    4) small: sw + accel
    5) full: accel + sw
    6) moving a bit the pointer (scrollbar) => accel + accel
    I dont know what I should to say.
    now I get 12-20% CPU (and NOT 4% as before ) because the windows defender programm is running now, this will take 2 hours...
    now I writing another post, please stay tuned ;-)

  • Flash player and youtube video in iphone 3gs

    I just got an iphone 3gs 16gb on a plan with 3 mobile here in Perth, Australia. My iphone doesn't have a youtube application in it and i cant play any flash contents either. the main concern is that i cant play any video in youtube. does anyone have any explanations for this????

    My iphone doesn't have a youtube application in it
    YouTube is standard to most country's iPhones. The only reason if not would be countries like China who require software patches on the iPhone for site and program restrictions.
    I cant play any flash contents either
    Flash is not supported as the others have said. Everyone insisted Flash be included but the only 3.0 patch I've noticed recently is Java and animation artworks.
    For example the AT&T progress bar moves now or viewing Grand Theft Auto sites for guides like finding Burger Shot I did yesterday the dots were animated now.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
