With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

  • Flash player hanging with hardware acceleration enabled

    I'm having the following problem: The Flash player is working fine for some apparently random period of time, then it hangs when it is starting up in order to display a video.  This appears to happen only when hardware acceleration is enabled.  (I have not noticed any problems with hardware acceleration disabled, but I only discovered 24 hours ago that this helped.).  The hang happens under all web browsers (Firefox reports that the Flash player crashed, but it is actually hung on start up, not crashed).  After a hang occurs, trying to view any other Flash video also hangs, and all other programs that attempt to access the video card like Windows Media Player also hang.  The only way to reset things and get video working again is to reboot the machine.
    I suspect the problem is either the Flash player or the machine's graphics driver.  I'm running Flash Player WIN 10,1,53,64 under Windows 7 64 on an Intel Core i5 machine with Intel GMA HD graphics, driver version 8.15.10.2025.
    BTW, is there anyway to permanently disable Flash's use of hardware acceleration? (if I disable, the setting doesn't seem to want to stay)

    Thanks.  The computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad T510.  Intel's utility reports:

  • Blurry text with hardware acceleration enabled.

    Hi, Firefox folks.
    My text (and edges of tabs) were blurry in Firefox 4.0.1 (32-bit), running on Windows 7 64-bit, with a Radeon HD 6670 with latest drivers: Catalyst 11.5, May 9, 2011. (I have no text problems at all with the latest Chrome or Internet Explorer 9.)
    The problem immediately disappeared when I went to Firefox's Tools menu --> Options --> Advanced tab --> General subtab, and unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available."
    [I've edited out a "tip" of mine that I thought was working, but actually wasn't.]
    I don't know how this will affect Firefox's speed, but at least I can properly read the text now.
    I didn't have to disable Firefox 4.0.1 hardware acceleration with my old NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (which I was using on the same PC a few days ago), so this might be (at least partly) an AMD/ATI problem; I've notified them about this already.
    So, either AMD/ATI needs to issue a patch, or Mozilla does, or both. Just thought you should know. Thanks for your time.

  • Video Green in Win8 with Hardware Acceleration enabled

    Hi, I need to be able to disable hardware acceleration in flash player in Windows 8. I managed to do this in the past, however after reinstallation this time I have been unsuccessful.
    Last time, I somehow managed downgrade to a earlier version which reinstated the disable acceleration tab in the flash player settings as the IE11 overall use software setting does not apply to flash player. I can see this from the debug code on videos.
    &decoding=accelerated
    Where as in Chrome, this says &decoding=software
    Any tips pleassssee?

    Hi Jeromie,
    I ended up solving this.
    1. Turns out it was being caused because I am using a patch driver to allow 120hz. http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
    2. Was not allowing me to disable in Win8.1 ~ however now it does. IE11 is now allowing me to run software mode which has fixed all the green video issues caused by the patcher from above.
    I am not sure why before IE11 would just not take any notice of the use software mode setting. Maybe there has been an update, in the end I changed and tried so many different combinations I can't really pinpoint exactly what got it to work!!

  • Hello, I have windows vista, When I start up firefox, it does not respond. I end up starting it up 3-4 times then it eventually opens with 3-4 tabs open to my home page. It will never startup on the first try.

    firefox does not reponde on initial startup. I have updated everything.

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

  • New Flash Plugin update with hardware acceleration freezes Youtube videos

    Hello, two days ago i got a prompt for a new flash plugin update, saying that now it was able to use hardware acceleration on MAC too. I did the update but i noticed that with hardware acceleration enabled, any youtube video i see, safari freezes. Seems like it's loading continuously (even if the progress bar of the video is already red). But as soon as i disable hardware acceleration, all goes back as normal, no freeze. What's the problem? Using the last safari version.

    HI,
    There's an article here you might want to read.

  • I have a number of tabs opened in a window and i have grouped them.Is there any add-on or extension so that i can hide it or secure it or lock that tab group ?

    My laptop is being shared by others...so when others open the firefox page they can see all the tabs opened in a window or a tabgroup.i want o hide the tabgroup or secure tha tabs in a window by creating a passoword so that the others dont get the chance to view the tabs that i was browsing and so they have to open a new window and thus all the information in my tabs is safe and still are open even if they close their new window after their browsing.

    hello, when you're using a shared computer a better option would be to create separate (password-protected) windows accounts for each user - then each one would have her/his own firefox profile...

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

    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,

  • Problems with hardware acceleration

    Hallo
    I have big problems with hardware acceleration in flash player. What complicates the problem is my laptops manufacter note here:http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69684
    so I'm accualy confused - is my laptop defected or the source of the problem is in flash player engine.
    In to to point: I can't play some videos, because my video adapter/driver is restarted during watching and after it happens - flash plugin doesn't work anymore (until browser is restarted).
    I have flash player in version: 10.2.154.25
    Nvidia driver: 260.99 (with newest situations is not much better, I tried newest WHQL certified driver but I didn't work perfectly)
    Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad T61, core2duo 2.1Ghz, 3GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 140M NVS.
    And here's video showing my laptops behaviour:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrXJCcWV2Sk
    Notice also screen blinking (and audio stuttering) before video adapter is restarted.
    Is it flash fault or hardware is defected?

    I got my laptop with replaced systemboard today.
    Unfortunately the problem is still present. In the meantime there was Flash update released (10.2.159.1 for IE) so I also tried to install newest version - but it didn't help.
    Having systemboard replaced, flash updated I still have screen blinking, video adapter restarting and NOT smooth playback using hardware acceleration.

  • VF11 wrongly created with RV Doc type and with not clear status.

    Hi All
    Issue: There are 2 billing documents which were created(VF01) in March are canceled (VF11) in May. Cancel document is saved with a message (No automatic clearing of billing document XXXXXXXXX) and message diagnosis saying that u201CThe Automatic clearing of billing document and reversal is not possible. This may be, for example, because the line item update is deactivatedu201D
      In the SD document flow cancel billing document is created and it's posted to accounting with Document type RV(which is not configured in the billing  types) and it is in not clear status.
    2 Sales order types are ZNRC(No Rebate u2013 Credit)    second is ZCR (CM Req With Refer).
    Order Type  : ZNRC , Billing type :ZG2, Cancel billing type :Z5, Accounting document in billing type for ZG2: is DG and accounting document in cancel billing type Z5 is :(_) blank.
    Order type:  ZCR Billing type :G2, Cancel billing type :S2, Accounting document in billing type for G2: is DG and accounting document in cancel billing type S2 is :(_) blank.                                                
          FI document type Not maintained in the cancel billing type configuration because this should be determine by reversal document type DA which is maintained in DG document type from FI side. It will be triggered in VF11)
    The above configuration is working with the order created VA01,billing VF01 and cancelling VF11 done in same period. If the order and billing done in old period and canceling(VF11) done in current period than FI document creating with RV document type and with not clear status in the document flow.
    I reviewed similar issues with SAP Note and with below explanation:
              "There are 2 procedures that are possible when Vf11 is posted.
              Old Procedure - An FI "Reversal" document was created that was not connected with the orignal.
              New Procedure - A Real FI reversal was carried out with clearing."
    In this case, our system is following with new procedure except above mentioned orders created in previous period and and canceled in current period.
      My Questions are: How the RV document is getting triggered here? why the cancel document (Reversal FI Doc) is not clearing?
         Appreciate your answers or suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sunil

    Thank you Ivano.
      I referred SAP note 1259505 and 339928. But initially we thought of none of the symptoms mentioned in the SAP note are matching with our issue. Then we contacted SAP online support and they suggested checking one SAP note (Mentioned above).
      Our system is following new cancellation procedure, but itu2019s failing only for some few documents.
      Finally we identified several reasons for the issue. One is profitability segment in the billing document and cancelled document is different due to some changes in segment assignments. Another one is consolidation- consolidation document does not exist in the billing document list but it is getting created in Canceled document (VF11).(Consolidation postings are switched off some time back and now itu2019s on)
      After some discussions it is decided to include accounting document type (Reversal) in cancel billing types to avoid default RV document type in canceled billing document accounting document. And non-cleared documents need to be created manually in F-32.
      Thread is closed.

    You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
    You would have to live in the U.S and physically be located in the U.S in order ot use the U.S tunes store.  The same is true for each countrys itunes store.

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.
