Vista and browser flash

Ok here is the deal. I am running Vista Home. I have problems
running games in browser windows. Everything is choppy and plays
horrible. Anyone have any ideas of how to make this stop.

[Moved the discussion to Flash Player Forum]
You might want to Run the Flash Player Uninstaller and remove flash player.
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.
Check the same using an alternate browser like chrome and see if you get the same issue.

  • Need Help - Windows Vista and Latest Flash Player

    Have Windows Vista and Adobe for viewing video. Just recently I was unable to
    view the videos. Pop-up showed that I needed to update to the Flash Player 11. I down loaded
    as instructed and was advised that download was successful but still can't view the videos
    since the same sign shows up. Have tried to see what I'm missing but without much luck.

    What is your browser?  If IE:

  • 6-15-2012 upgrade and browser flash video problems.

    The 6-15-2012 upgrade for flash player v. 11.3.300.257 causes flash videos not to load in the firefox browser. 
    What can I do to remedy this situation besides rolling back to a previous version or disabling protected mode
    permanently?
    Flash content does not appear at all in my browser (firefox v. 5.0), and I do not have realplayer installed.
    There is no crashing, error message, flash video content does not even appear.  Changing browser settings and
    preferences or disabling addons does nothing. This problem has never occured before the 6-15-2012 update.
    The operating system is W7 64 bit.
    Troubleshooting methods outlined on page http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#4468493 do not work.

    "Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either
    revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode.  We strongly recommend that
    Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."   If I cannot resolve this issue then I
    cannot manually re-enable protected mode.  Again, is there any solution that does not involve rolling back to
    an earlier version or disabling any sort of protection?

    RE: "We strongly recommend that
    Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
    If I cannot resolve this issue then I cannot manually re-enable protected mode.
    What they mean is when Adobe resolves this issue.  So far, there's nothing the user can do if the protected mode is what is causing the problems.
    If you look over the dozens and dozes of posts about this, you'll see that some progress has been made.  The bug causing Firefox's "silent crashes" or crashes upon close-out has been duplicated, and according to some sources, has been "resolved," but so far, no patches or formal announcements have been made.
    Since there seems to be a host of problems associated with Flash Player 11.3.300.257--conflicts with Real Player; constant crashes; excessive memory/CPU usage, etc.-- I'd imagine that Adobe will try to (hopefully)  fix as many as possible in the next version.
    In the meantime, we'll all  have to wait it out using the earlier version or the new version that we--ourselves--have had to hack to disable "protected mode."  Not knowing how vulnerable Flash Player is without the Protected Mode, I'm staying away from sites with Flash Content as much as possible.  Unfortunately, since most of my browsing involves business related activities, and since many, many business related sites have some Flash content, this can be a challenge.

  • Vista and Embedded Flash Fonts are missing?

    I Just upgraded to Vista with a new development machine. Have
    everything installed and good to go.
    I open a previous Director File that contains swf assets and
    static fonts. The fonts are simply missing. When I view the swf on
    it's own... no problem and text displays perfectly. swf in Director
    in Vista, no go. It worked perfectly in XP.
    The files that are published with XP, the fonts in Flash
    assets are all okay. Publish the exact same file in Vista, Fonts
    are missing.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed it by installing the latest Flash8 Xtra. Wish adobe had
    an installer that could just "update" the software rather than
    manually replacing files... Ah well, all good now.

  • 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?

    I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,
    Peter
