i cant access some flash video content using ie9..i have downloaded the latest adobe flash player but still cannot play video from you tube..i am using a 32 bit system withwindows 7 pro should i roll back to ie 8?
i've been having an issue with flash content for the past three weeks now, i've tried just about anything and i'm becoming desperate. i've conducted a wide variety of tests on the various components in my build, but i'm still no closer to discovering what the issue may be. the issue occasionally, when watching flash content, my computer will freeze and i'll lose all control over the mouse and keyboard. it sounds like the computer is about to blue screen (looping audio), but it doesn't - it just hangs on the same image for anywhere between 15 seconds to 2 minutes. sometimes, i need to hard restart my system in order to use the computer again. this will typically happen when flash content is played full-screen on websites like Internet and twitch.tv, and on resolutions higher than 480p - but i have experienced (less frequent) crashes when the content is not full-screen, at 360p. it just seems to be video that causes the problem, as i've yet to have any issues with websites that present an alternative form of flash content. hardware: processor: intel i5-2500k @ 3.30ghzgraphics card: nvidia geforce gtx 570 1280mbmotherboard: asrock z68 extreme4 gen3memory: kingston hyperx genesis grey 8gbpsu: cooler master silent pro modular 700w nothing is overclocked, and i'm running windows 7 x64 home premium sp1. i've uploaded my dxdiag here. what have i done to try and diagnose the problem? -enabled and disabled hardware acceleration.-updated to latest graphics card drivers, also rolled back to previous versions i've known to work previously with my system.-monitored system usage/temperatures when watching hd flash content. nothing out of the ordinary.-ran memtestx86 for 24 hours. no errors.-ran prime95 blend for 24 hours. no errors.-furmark for 2 hours to test graphics card stability, things seemed fine. have been playing far cry 3 continuously on high settings for the past few days with zero instability.-i've tried downloading older versions of flash, and using different browsers. no change. when did it start? the issue started when i updated the bios for my motherboard (asrock z68 extreme4 gen3) from v1.20 to v2.20, since then i've updated to v2.30. i would roll back to v1.20, but it's simply not possible according to various sources i've read online. thoughts i'm pretty sure my hardware is fine. all the tests i've done indicate my system is stable when i'm not running flash content. i've been playing games, writing documents for university and browsing the internet with absolutely no issues (as long as i don't watch any flash content). i suspect there are compatibility issues with flash, my hardware setup and the latest bios updates from asrock, but maybe i've missed something.
Whenever I open a folder/drive or view a .flv file[in my pc and not my browser] explorer crashes and my CPU Usage goes up at 100%.And I have to restart Explorer.exe everytime this happens.I dont really know when this problem started cause I dont use much .flv files..
I am using Windows 7 in my compaq 610 laptop and XP in my desktop, recently I am facing a problem, my pendrive is going hang when i try to access the contents... in both the systems... I have 3.4 GB valuable data on that in in a serious problem....how to recover all the data from the pendrive.It opens and i can see all the contents but after a few seconds it got hanged.
My family and I have accumulated a rather large library of DVD/BD movies that we like to watch repeatedly from time to time. In order to avoid searching for and handling the original disks each time, I have been ripping the content, preserving menus,chapters, and the audio and subtitle streams for our preferred language, along with the main video title.i chose to transcode the video using h.264 format, and AC3 audio, storing those and the subtitle stream in an MKV wrapper, because that format is reasonably well supported by the WDTV Live Plus player I have been using. However, I have found many shortcomings of that player to be frustrating to me. My frustration is caused mostly by these factors:
- Browsing screen by screen, with only textual titles when deciding what movie to watch next is not pleasing.
- If I want to jump into a particular movie chapter, again there is only text (minutes/seconds) to help me find the chapter I want, as opposed to artwork such as one would have when viewing the original disk using a DVD/BD player.
- Inability to pause, and advance frame by frame, as I would be able to if playing the original media.
- The WDTV Live Plus sometimes alters the appearance of the subtitles compared with the original media, and sometimes to the extent that they are unreadable.
Thinking that I might be able to improve on shortcomings like these, I embarked on a project to build my first HTPC, which I have now done. I am happy with the system from a hardware perspective. I installed Windows 7 Professional x64, and am poised to begin using Media Center for the first time. It is my hope that I can use the MKV files I have spent many hours creating, but if some other format proves more appropriate, I will start over, but using my new system, it will not take nearly so many hours the next time.I would eventually like to retire my two Tivo boxes, so I expect I will install a tuner card such as the Ceton InfiniTV4 that accommodates a multi-stream cable card, but one Tivo function we use occasionally (and would like to retain) is the ability to download Amazon video on demand for later viewing. Is this possible with Media Center, and could I stop viewing from the family room in the middle of a movie, and continue watching on the bedroom extender?
I am about to lose it. I have tried several firefox addons, tried replay media catcher and other media catchers/downloaders and all fail to download a simple flash video from a website. The frustrating part is that the video is non-existent in firefox cache as well so there is no way to download this. Replay media catcher and all these useless video downloaders.
Btw this is the video here: Powerful typhoon hits Japan mainland (+video) - World - NZ Herald News
when I put fullscreen anykind of flash video like megavideo or videobb or others, fps rate is really low! I have disabled any windows visual effect and have tried on IE, Firefox and Opera and the problem is still the same. Cpu never goes above 40% so it is not performances problem... what is this?
when using sites like bbc iplayer or Internet the sound plays fine but the video freezes for a second every few seconds, i also see the same issue in vlc, windows media seems fine.
also my pc beeps repetitively when i exit firefox after having choppy playback, this last for a minute or so, this doesn't happen with vlc.
i have tried updating my nvidea drivers and also direct x but this has made no difference.
i use the latest version of firefox but have tried internet explorer and it has the same issues.
my pc is brand new from dell, although i re-installed everything from a fresh copy of windows seven as soon as i got it
i have 1 terabyte of space split over 2 actual drives that are partitioned into 4 drives, my c drive has 84 gb spare.
i have installed a windows 7 ultimate rtm trial on my pc and connected it to my internode nakedadsl2+ ultra net connection. it is an 18mbit connection with cat6 cables and when downloading a test file from internode's servers pulls about 1200kb/s.
i have noticed, ever since running 7085, that Internet and other video streaming sites (including facebook, collegehumour, etc.) that the buffering is very patchy. it does not seem to matter if it is a flash or vimeo or any other kind of video streaming. often times, i will be watching a video and the progress bar will catch up with the buffering and simply stop buffering. then when i try to re-watch the video, the already buffered material is in the cache and that is all that loads. it does not continue buffering from where it stopped. very annoying!
i also have a machine with xp which buffers much quicker and with minimal interruptions.
can anyone help with this and has anyone noticed the same thing?
Playing Flash videos in either regular or full screen will freeze PC to a point I have no option but to hard boot.
Long-term gaming has no issues, nor does long term PC "on-time".
An annoying "humm" is all i get besides a completely frozen desktop.
I have tested both IE 8, both 32bit and 64bit, and Firefox 3.55 32bit.
I have used the tools available from adobe to remove former versions, and reinstalled the newest available.
I came across a couple "tweaking solutions", but neither of which have worked.
1)disable java in firefox 2)disable hardware acceleration in Flash
I even went on to allow unlimited storage within flash for the sites i watch the most.
The videos can last anywhere from 2 seconds upwards of 30 minutes. No mouse movement, nothing else running, besides Comodo Firewall. (which I hope isn't the problem).
The last 2 things I have NOT tried yet is updating my BIOS, and a clean install. (original install was clean though)
This PC is a homebuild, and a completely new machine to me. SO i have yet to refine which drivers work best for me. It is only about 2 weeks old.
my specs: emachines notebook intel core i3 cpu 2gb ram windows 7 64 bit browsers installed ie8, firefox 4 and chrome avg free edition installed shockwave flash 10.3.181.4 installed for ff graphics driver intel hd graphics driver version 8.15.10.2119 i'm accessing the internet through wireless internet i have been having a problem where playing flash video has crashed all the browsers i have installed. this issue has happened on multiple websites including Internet and bbc iplayer. it started happening out of the blue on 25th may 2011. there doesn't appear to be any microsoft updates added at that time and i did not install any new software on that day.
in firefox the issue happens 100% of the time. after watching for a few minutes the video starts to buffer and then the browser completely freezes up before the frame greys out and the option to send crash report appears. when i reload the page the same thing happens again. sometimes the audio will start to repeat itself with a delay of a few seconds before crashing.
in chrome, the same thing happens except the built in plug in becomes unresponsive and the browser then freezes and reports the error. ie crashes too although i hardly ever use it to be honest.
the things i have tried to fix this so far (without success) have been: manually uninstall all adobe products uninstall all browsers delete folders and reg entries for flash and delete folders for browsers reinstall software and flash run malwarebytes (no warnings or bad files). run a registry cleaner. nothing reported that seemed to be relevant to flash or media playback. uninstall flash revert back to flash 10.2 (i actually noticed a slight improvement when using 10.2 but cannot access embedded video in facebook etc so wasn't a viable option for me). disable avg and try playback unistall avg and try playback uninstall avg and windows firewall and try playback check for new video driver updated (there were none) untick enable hardware acceleration allow flash to store content in global settings i have not done a system restore and do not really want to do that if possible.
the only other thing i have noticed is that it has been difficult to install exe files from the web since this issue started (when trying to reinstall browsers etc). windows was corrupting the installers for chrome and firefox as well as the malware bytes.
BSOD-s happen only while playing a flash video. Error is related to ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40, While playing games everything works fine (tried COD Modern Warfare 3, newerst Skyrim). Drivers are updated a don`t have a clue whats wrong?
whenever i try to view video on Internet or any flash my windows 7 machine disconnects the huawei modem (even with updated drivers and firmware) and thus also the internet access. non-video internet works fine. the very same modem don't disconnect during video-viewing when installed on another machine! what to do?
when watching Internet videos in fullscreen, eventually the screen turns purple and becomes pixelated. the sound of the video continues for a few seconds, and then even that stops. i can't alt tab, escape, use the windows key, and not even ctrl alt delete will do anything. my only option seems to be to restart. i've managed to reproduce this around 3 times today alone (the error doesn't happen instantly upon going fullscreen into the video, and it doesn't happen at all if i don't do fullscreen).
i want to note that i'm still using a hard drive that's been considered bad by a number of diagnostics programs since early february, but since this is a repeatable scenario related to watching videos on Internet, i want to assume for now that that isn't the main cause (because i don't want to replace the drive right now if not absolutely necessary).
notable things are that i've recently replaced my gts 450 with a 560 ti, which seems to be fine. i play bf3 on ultra, and temps only go up to about 67c (i'm playing on 1440x900), so i don't think this is a problem with the card. maxing gtaiv works fine as well. the only other thing is that i updated my drivers to 296.10 yesterday. is this likely to be the cause of my problem, or is this a possible symptom of a dying hard drive?
when i'm trying to play flash content(Internet mainly) my browser (firefox, chrome) at one point says not responding. if the hiccup lasts longer then sound and other programs are also froze. at some point everything works smoothly. i've checked my memories with memtest86 for one night - no errors. also hard drive is checked with chkdsk and no errors were found. s.m.a.r.t is makes me worry about my hdd:
also event log(administrator) gives some warnings about very long saving time for files(25 ++ seconds)
Since I upgraded from Vista to Win7 Ultimate, using a Toshiba Satellite A210-FS1, I have lost the use of many F keys, some work some don't. I got a message stating that my Flash Cards will no longer work.I read at a few places that if I had to get the following, and install them in that same order and that everything should come back to normal.
-Chipset Utility v.15.38 -Display driver v.186.42 -toshiba value added package v.1.2.40 -Flash Card support utility v.1.55.0.4c for Windows Vista -Toshiba utilities v.1.25.5c
Where I should get them, well I do not know. Furthermore, is it applicable to me and in my case?
i just installed windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. everything is just working fine excpet the divx web player and flash videos.
when i try watching the video full screen on Internet the videos quality is fine but it horribly slows down and in divx the quality is reduced (pixelated) and the sound and the video goes out of sync.
im using firefox 3.5 right now and i tried Internet in ie aswell and still the same problem and as for divx internet explorer crashes everytime i try to play diivx.
Ever since I installed Windows 7 64-bit, I have been getting a strange visual glitch in the centre of a lot (but not all) of the online flash videos I view.
The glitch is a flashing transparent square that appears to show in between video frames in the centre of the video. You can only see it by its outline but its big enough to cause constant annoyance.
Bizzarely enough the square dissappears if the video is put into fullscreen and doesn't appear all videos, only the majority.
I have the latest flash player installed and the latest catalyst drivers for my Radeon 4980, but the glitch persists in both 32-bit Firefox and Internet Explorer.
the video playback in browser, every browser, using flash plugin [e.g. Internet, dailymotion, etc.] plays smoothly but freezes for a second or two every once in a while. this happens during full screen playback as well as windowed one.i also have a problem getting smooth playback using windowed mode of subedit player [i translate stuff so need this player feature, can't replace it for media player classic], even though full screen playback is just fine. same clips playback perfectly in mpc, vlc and other players. i guess the problem is somehow connected with the player, although my colleagues didn't experience this problem, neither did they experience choppy flash playback.i'm using 190.38_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql as drivers.
I've been having a problem with my CPU maxing out on sites that use flash video for almost a year now. I've gone through all the checks for Malware and virus's using multiple programs. The problem only occurs when I'm live streaming from a site that uses JW player 5.10.2295, I have downgraded my Flash player to an older version 11.1.102.63 on the advise from a poster on the adobe forum site. I've recently ran a clean install and after only a day, the problem has started again, I'm using chrome browser, I have disabled the pepper flash plugin and I've also disabled hardware acceleration on the flash program.
The site that I use regularly is using the JW player to broadcast, There is High CPU usage for other flash sites(you tube, BBC I player) but my CPU is maxing out to 70/80 and the laptop is just about to handle it. I've had my laptop for about 3 years now and it's always been able to stream HD content with no issues, I also have an old win XP and apple mac air in the house and it has no issues streaming from any sites with high CPU.

A few days ago my Flash and HTML5 audio stopped working, but the video shows up fine. I tried all of the browser I could think of (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE, I even made my own) and I got the same problem. Sound does work, though, in other programs like iTunes and Skype. When I tried Silverlight it worked fine.
When i play any video on flash player its not working properly and windows in giving me error report as display driver stopped working.I am using windows 7 and i hav ATI Express 200 graphics card
I've got new computer with Windows 7 & for some reason or other cannot access two Sandisk flash drives (Cruzer Blades) yet no problems with other makes!
I am having a problem downloading the latest version of flash player. It appears to download but afterward when I try to play something that requires flashplayer I get the "you must download the latest version of flash player to view this video".
i've done a fair amount of reading and searching on cpu usage in windows 7 (both beta & rc 1) and haven't had any luck with this issue yet.
the issue i'm having is my cpu usage spikes up to 80-100% very often and performance of any other task during this period is frustratingly laggy. these spikes happen from even the simplest action ranging from opening the start menu, to scrolling through text on a webpage and worst of all playing video (Internet is my benchmark tool, 80% usage guaranteed during video play).
using any web browser with 3+ tabs open is guaranteed to spike cpu usage over 50%. multitasking in general begets a sluggish os performance.
some of the solutions i've read and tried:
installing nvidia's windows 7 video drivers, no improvement.
disabling the hd audio in device manager seems to help a lot of people, i don't have this in my device manager.
sound drivers/devices also seem to be a leading source of cpu over-usage in a lot of cases. i've tried disabling/removing my sound card, drivers, and audio services to no avail. i initially had a sound card and on-board sound (ac97) running and disabling one of the two had a minor improvement in performance but nothing spectacular.
even with both disabled the cpu usage still spikes to 90-100% during video play, not to mention the video stutters and stops often.
i also had on-board lan in addition to a wireless card installed so i've switched between the two, disabling one or the other with no marked improvement.
setting the page file to manual control with a 4+ gb size setting, no difference.
disabling aero, using a windows 7 classic theme, no dice.
i like to think that my hardware is strong enough to handle video streaming/playing without maxing out the cpu but if you think i'm mistaken then feel free to let me know. my windows 7 performance score was somewhere around 3.4. i've also watched the process explorer extensively and i can't find any service that sticks out terribly.
any ideas? any diagnostic tools you guys would recommend?
i go to bbc.co.uk/iplayer, i click on something i want to watch i get there and the page appears but with no pre-video image or play button.i have just down graded from windows 7 64bit to windows 7 32bit as i thought this may have been the problem, due to flash 64bit problems. so i have a fresh install of windows 7.i have tried quite a few things, please see the list below:1. both firefox, chrome, ie 9 & ie 10. all with no flash or java installed, i know this is not right, but something interesting happened. the website did exactly the same thing as before, there was nothing telling me on the bbc website that flash was needed and go here to download it.2. installed different versions of flash and java, and in combinations of old & old, old & new, new & old, new & new.3. i have tried older versions of browers, this made no difference.4. my wifes computer does the same thing with firefox and chrome, but ie 9 does work correctly. we copied all settings from internet options, ie 9's settings from her's to mine. still nothing.
5. i have tried clearing cashe, nothing changed.6. i have removed flash and java. then just installed google chrome, as this has flash built in. i then tried bbc iplayer and still nothing. i then install java, again nothing.7. there have been other website as well as bbc iplayer, that are not working.these problems happen in all browsers on my computer and on all browsers except ie9 on my wifes computer.my system:amd athlon ii x4 635 2.90ghzgeforce 8800gs4gb ramrunning windows 7 32bitmy wifes system:amd athlon 64 x2 dualcore 6000+ati radeon 64504bg ramrunning windows 7 64bithowever our sony vaio plays all video types on all browers, running windows 7 32bit.Internet runs fine on my computer. when i check flash version on adobe site the flash created box appears telling me my version. it seems odd that some types of flash run whilst others do not. when they're not working, there is no error message, just an empty box where the flash item should be.
