Vista 64 and Flash

I have been in the computer world a LONG time and so
understand that it takes time to get some things done. But it has
been over a YEAR since Vista brought a solid 64 bit experience and
even before that XP delivered the potential. So you would think a
company the size of Adobe with a product so widely used as Flash
would have put a staff on it quickly to develop a 64 bit client for
their reader.
My question to the Adobe management is our your software
engineers incompetent or lazy? I mean lets get real the move to 64
bit is not near so massive as to take a year to complete, driver
companies did it fairly quickly. So we are left with one of two
impressions, either your engineers are morons that could not code
pong or they are lazy and you are paying them way to much. So which
is it?
Oh wait we have a third option, the management could just be
to STUPID to actual do their job and provide proper support for
their product, that is another possibility.
Now if I am coming off as a bit anger, I AM! Companies that
own the sole right to create a specific program tend to go out of
their way to screw the rest of us and in this Adobe is leading the
way. Catch up Adobe, 64 bit is here and some of us would like to
use it.
Failing Adobe stepping up perhaps the time has come for us to
demand web designers to quite using the Flash crap and move to
something that truly does support ALL OS choices.

BUMP Couldn't have said it better myself.

  • Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

    My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
    scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
    framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
    google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
    get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
    solved?
    Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
    Should I go back to Flash 8?

    I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
    works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
    at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
    Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
    As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
    and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
    know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
    certainly faster.
    I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
    you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
    the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
    across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
    these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
    It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
    or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
    even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

  • Windows Vista and Flash Media Server Streaming Problems

    My company recently started using Flash Media Server to
    stream audio and video content.
    My boss just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and now no
    streaming content will play at all. Simple Flash animations work,
    but nothing that accesses the Flash Media Server for content. I've
    uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the Flash Player
    on his machine but nothing seems to work. I also tried the new
    "Reset" feature in IE that is supposed to return it to it's
    shipping state and that didn't work. I navigated to the "System 32"
    folder and ran the Flash Updater EXE. I downloaded and installed
    all of the available updates through "Windows Update".
    I also tested Flash Objects that stream video on Adobe.com
    and they don't play either. Has anyone heard of this happening or
    know what I need to do to fix it? I don't know if this is a bug in
    the Flash Player or with Windows Vista.

    This appears to be the solution:

  • Vista and Flash Player issues - no embedded video

    Ok,
    I've been wrestling with this for a week now. I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the upgrade, I cannot view embedded videos on any website(except Microsoft's cuz they use Silverlight).
    I CAN, however, see videos on YouTube *IF* I change the URL to their Secure site. (HTTPS). I found this workaround in a post. This tells me that Flash Player is working, but somewhere in the Vista install, Vista is blocking non-secure websites from loading/playing embedded videos. I have used Yahoo's news pages as my test, but have had issues with embedded videos on FaceBook, and other websites that regularly post embedded vids, like the TV network sites, etc.  I have gone through as many "fixes" as I could find posts on the Web, and none have fixed my problem. I tried downloading and installing Flash Player on Chrome and Firefox, and those didn't work either, so I know that A.) the problem is not the browser, B.) that the problem is not the codecs, as vids run on Youtube's Secure website. That leaves the OS as the culprit. I have gone through the Control Panel, and tried everwhere there that I could find a remote link to Internet security, to no avail.  No one at Microsoft is interested in helping me; they just tell me to buy Windows 7. Are there any Vista gurus out there that may be able to help?

    Could you try running through the steps outlined in this FAQ?  In particular, make sure you delete the two folders specified within the %appdata% directory.
    How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

  • Vista and flash player 10

    Sooo I downloaded or upgraded to adobe flash player 10 and some games still say I need to upgrade.. Well I further googled the problem.. Something about turn the USC off and on.. Well thats not an option for me.. I only have one account..Do i make another account??  And then it said something about C:\windows\sys32... Go to flash.. go to properties.. blah blah... It wont let me change the properties.. I've been trying to fix it for 3 days now..
    Please help!! 

    I seriously don't understand a word of what you're writing...
    You mention "C:\windows\sys32..." - that indicates that you use Windows; what version?
    What web browser do you use?
    Can you see the Flash animiation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

  • Re: Vista and Flash Player Issues - no Embedded video

    Hi Carl,
    After re-boot, still the same problems. I DID find it interesting that in the previously mentioned link to Yahoo's website, that the video file was an HTML file. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't it have been a video format file, or was the right-click just giving me the page link and not the vid file name?

    Ah - from the 'Re:' in the subject line I assume that you replied to the email notification.  But for some reason it was not merged into the original topic.
    I will notify the forum administrator to see if he can find out why this is not happening.
    Hopefully Carl will see your replies, and remember the original conversation.

  • I still cannot view flash players in firefox after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and flash multiple times. how do i fix this issue perminantly?

    I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you

    Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

  • Firefox 14.01 and Flash 11.3 Issues

    I was previously having problems with Firefox 13 (forget which version specifically) after it updated with using Flash as many others were. I was excited to see that a v. 14 is now out and updated hoping it would solve my issues, but I am still having trouble. I feel confident it is an issue with Flash; I have gone through and individually disabled and re-enabled add-ons, and can use Firefox fine when Flash is disabled, and everyone goes down hill once re-enabled.
    In general, my issues are that Gmail, Facebook, and many other websites won't load when Flash is enabled. They will start to open, get stuck, and the Firefox completely freezes. Turning off the add-on fixes all of this, and turning it back on brings it back.
    I have Windows Vista as my O/S.
    Any suggestions for further troubleshooting? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Firefox and Flash.

    This is the Solution that I found, thing is Adobe added something called "Protection Mode" to Flash in 11.3 and you need to disable it and all is well.
    To do that you need to restart your pc so you know flash is turned off other wise you can't modify the config files for it.
    For 32bit users:
    '''C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg'''
    For 64bit users:
    '''C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg'''
    In both cases all you need to do is add:
    '''ProtectedMode=0'''
    To the next line in the file and save it.
    Worked for me, and I had been searching for weeks, if it works for you please do what you can to spread the word!

  • Spotify and Flash Player 10.3

    My Spotify didn't functioning (didn't "answer") suddenly. When I deleted Flash Player 10.3 Spotify worked again. Trying to download Flash Player again; same result. This means I have to decide whether I shall give priority to Spotify or the abality to look at web TV (which only has the option of Flash Player 10.3. I have Explorer 9 and Windows Vista.

    Are you using the Spotify Windows application?  If so, it shouldn't interact with Flash Player at all.  I've run it with and without Flash Player installed.
    The Spotify Windows application still depends on Flash Player though not for everything. I have the same issue and have already posted on the Spotify forums. They directed me to reinstall flash which I had already done because no flash content was working. It seems that there is some sort of issue between Spotify and Flash, I just don't understand what it could be.

  • *Adobe CS4 Distiller and Flash CS4 errors*

    Hello....beforehand I want to thank you for your help regarding the problems I can't seem to fix. I am using Windows Vista and I have run scandisk/disk defrag/computer cleanup with various programs so all of that is taken care of for a possible "solution". I looked on the Adobe help and resource center and couldn't find anything regarding the following matters:
    Every time I manually open up Distiller 9.0 after it loads and goes to the Distiller screen, it automatically closes! It was working fine and I don't really use Distiller often so I am not sure when it started but does anyone know what I can do other than trying to reinstall it? Hopefully I can avoid that process. Here is a link to what I see right before it closes: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/283f00c905d6d45e2ef4768d66dbee724g.jpg
    I have been using Flash CS4 pretty regularly until about a week ago and i never had any real problems but now every time I open up Flash CS4 it gives me an error message and closes. It gives me the "Adobe Flash CS4 has stopped working" and that "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem", here is a screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/72821d3e935a89db809257ab9d1fef9b4g.jpg
    My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working before but when I try to open it by converting a file to a form or even creating a new form from a template, then it freezes and closes giving me a similar error message! Here is a screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
    Also, sometimes during the middle of the program some of my programs freeze and close with a similar error message of "Windows is checking for a solution" and that message often comes when I even close the program. This has been mainly happening on my Adobe Contribute when I use it to edit my site, here is a screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/63f2156f2a88d045a4ce5ea072735f384g.jpg
    Here is a screenshot of sometimes this type of error after I close a program like IE: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/af69ad89ebc69f120ce1d75a6c102f6f4g.jpg
    I know my post was a little posty but I appreciate any help I can get regarding this. Thanks again so much and I appreciate it once again!

    Just wondered if you have tried using System/Restore to go back to a week ago when everything was working properly. System/Restore doesn't change your document files, just the program and system files.

  • Updated Firefox AND Flash, and now flash won't play anymore

    So, back in the last version of Firefox, Flash v11.3 wouldn't load correctly. The official solution was to roll it back, install a previous version, and I guess that's alright, but I was really hoping it was a temporary solution.
    So now Firefox has updated to version 15. I thought this would solve the problem, and according to the old entries about Flash not working, it has. But then I updated flash, and now it's 11.4, and after updating twice I'm right back where I'm started.
    Maybe this hasn't been articulated well enough? The problem isn't that it's a specific version that doesn't work and I'm willing to keep all my plugins in eternal limbo, it's that it doesn't work period. So, I guess I'm just supposed to roll back again? What should it be this time? Flash or Firefox? Does it matter? Which one hates the other one more? Will there ever be an actual solution to this, or will I just have to have outdated versions of one or the other forever?
    And also, this is curious, according to this thing below that automatically reads your plugins and what not, I not only have 11.4, but also still have Flash 10.3 installed somehow. Maybe that will make it easier to roll back, but... does that make a difference? Is there anyone with Firefox 15 and Flash 11.4 that doesn't have this problem? I'm kinda hesitant to delete 10.3 because I might... you know, need it.

    Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402 <br />
    Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
    Having both versions installed is probably a big part of your problem.
    Uninstall Flash completely. <br />
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Then install the version that you found to be least problematic for you, which sounds like v 10.3.
    Personally I have stayed with Flash 10.3, which is still getting security updates from Oracle / Adobe. Then again, I am using WinXP - not Vista. I have had no problems with Flash 10.3, like the problems I have seen posted here with 11.3 and 11.4.
    YMMV.
    Keep in mind that IE uses its own version of Flash - ActiveX is what it is called in the Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control panel. That version won't affect Firefox in any manner. The version numbers don't need to be the same for both the ActiveX version of Flash and the '''Plugin''' version which Firefox ''(and most other browsers)'' use.

    Unexplained Crashes, lock-ups, Failure to boot and boot-looping in Vista and XP and MAC OS-X.
    Have a USB2 external hard drive hooked up to your system? A number of these devices are starting to show up as the cause of the problems listed above. The cause has been linked to drives that were manufactured a year or more ago. Note I said manufactured not purchased. The cause is poor USB 2.0 specifications that the drive case manufactures followed which has deteriorated with age causing the above failures. If this happens to you try disconnecting your external drive and see if your problem goes away. A couple of multifunction printers have also been the cause of similar problems but most of these have higher visibility on internet search engines than the external hard drives.
