THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I tried everything recommended by Adobe and spent hours this morning to NO avail. I followed your steps, and in less than 20 minutes… it works!

And this is why iPhone OS doesn’t play flash. Similar reasons for most smartphone OS’es.

Anyway, just to report my experience, it’s way more random than all this. A friend of mine had the same issue I had when I got to this website: http://getsatisfaction.com/adobe/topics/when_using_adobe_flash_player_10_why_is_there_high_cpu_memory_usage_100_utilization?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification

And then his issue was suddenly solved. He doesn’t know how, nor he cares. I had it on my OSX86, Ubuntu and Windows, and in more than one computer. Also it disappeared out of the blue in all of them, but not at the same time. I don’t recall doing updates for it to be fixed, but maybe it was something like that.

Or maybe I just entered some website, like the porn guy there, that fixed it.

And I think it’s very nice of you, tech angel, to answer every comment here for one year! oO

Don’t bother with mine, I’m just reporting, and linking.

I’ve tried this fix and still cannot get Flash to work in either Firefox or Internet Explorer. I’m running Vista 32-bit. I’m going to download Flash 9 again and pray that works.

Tabitha, same poccess as usual (already said several times in the comments), run windows updates and make sure that you have the latest / all available updates.

Also try running a disk check.

I won’t post both of your comments, as you repeat yourself.

Thanks a lot for this! It’s working for me now that I’ve turned AUCs off.

Brilliant. I was at the end of my tether with my Flash problem. This worked a treat on Vista (without the update about UACs).

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Since I ran the “special removal tool” I get a message saying “unable to load a GUI” when I try to download Flash Player. Can you please help? I run Vista Home Basic

I removed the Ad block in the Tools/add-ons and now it works. Can’t believe how long it took to solve this. Thanks for all the advice.

i didn’t realize how bad the playback really was until after i tried your fix. i can’t say for sure that it has completely stopped dropping frames or jerking a little but it’s so much better i can’t believe it. when i move my mouse or use the touchpad during playback it will still freeze or jerk just a second but overall i can at least watch it now. just wanted to say thanks.

I can’t say your workaround would be all that advisable for users Rob. But if it worked for you then it works which is great!

I spent three days on all these techy solutions for video not working and got nowhere. Then I thought, 69% of internet traffic is porn. So I put “porn” in google and clicked on a porn site. There was a ten second war between the site and my computer (flashing dialogue boxes) and then the porn video started playing. I stopped it and went to youtube and everything plays. Guess the porn billionaiarres can employ the best programmers. Nice of them to fix my problem, whatever it was.

Camnbry, run a full antivirus (up-to-date one at that) scan and it may also be worth running a secondary scan using Microsoft's malicous removal tool. It sounds like (based on what you have said) that there is something else at work on your PC. You can do both of the suggested tips in safe mode.

I tried what you said and now when my computer turns on well it doesn’t turn on so now what am I supposed to do? I have windows XP I saved that remove file closed everything then ran it and now when I turn on my computer I get a blue page that says my computer is not running because something harmful will happen if it does, so I have to push F8 and start it in safemode to do anything. How can I fix whatever happened and my flash player problem is still there. When I am looking at the Adobe flash player site to download what you posted it will not run at all. I get a page that says the page has closed because of malicious or malfunctioning add on. If I turn off the Flash player under maage add on that run without permission I dont have the page closing problem but then I can’t look at half the things I want to. PLEASE HELP ME.
Thanks
