Hi Chris

I had the same problems with the Flash Player 10.3 as described in this forum.

So I uninstalled the Flash Player 10.3 again, updated the Intel HD Graphics driver first to version 8.15.10.2361 and reinstalled the Flash Player version  10.3.181.14 again. And now everything is fine, no more problems with Flash Player 10.3.

Chris and all the other in this forum, thank you very much for your help.

Prototype4386-->>Luckily my searches finally led me to this forum post. Based on your advise, I tried to update her drivers for the Intel HD Graphics. When I downloaded the version you suggest above, directly from the Intel website, it said a later version was already installed on this computer. So, it would seem that at least in some cases, this issue does persist, even with Intel HD Graphics version 8.15.10.2361 or later.

What was the version number that was already installed?

I fixed mine by going to a restore point prior to downloading flash

10.3 and it is working fine.

Actually, it would seem I was wrong. When I tried to install the latest driver last night, the wizard told me a later version was already installed. I don't remember the entire number sequence, but it said something about having version 8.8..... something. However, in an attempt to respond to Carl with the exact number, I got back on my mother's computer, and figured out how to open the Intel graphics properties window, and load up the information tab, where it says the currently installed version is 8.15.10.2279. I wonder why the wizard would detect a later version, which apparently doesn't exist? Hmm... I guess I'll try getting that latest version from their website again. I'll post again once it's installed and see if the Flash problems persist with the latest drivers and accelerated graphics.

UPDATE -- Ok, this time when I tried to install the drivers, an error message popped up saying, "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer. Setup will exit." So I guess HP computers (my mom's is an HP pavilion G17 series notebook, about a month old) are among the ones that Chris mentioned above, where the Intel drivers have to be obtained from HP themselves. Oh well, turning off the accelerated graphics works for now.

The generic Intel graphics driver will not install if there is any OEM graphics driver installed.  Though the driver is 5 months old(1/7/2011), it is probably the latest OEM driver you will find for this computer.  With the computer still in warranty, you will have to think twice before uninstalling the OEM graphics driver and installing a generic graphics driver.

Thanks for the info Carl. I'm pretty darn good with computers, but I wasn't aware that an OEM graphics driver set would block out generic ones. That's useful stuff to know, and I always love to get a new tidbit of tech info stuffed into my brain.

Nitesgold, I've already done just that, and it did indeed fix the problem. I was simply trying a different fix so that I could provide my results to Adobe, for informational purposes. Thanks for trying to help though.

Which temporary solution did you use Kazit?

Chris,

I just wanted to report that the test file you sent me by email last Friday, has been working fine.

Is there any good reason for me to download and install the new test version (10.3.181.15) or should I stay with the version you sent me?

Thanks,

Gary

They are slightly different, but since the version I sent you is working you might want to just stick with it till our official release is out.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Will do, Chris.  I'll sit tight until the official release.  Thanks!

Hi Nitesgold

I used solution 2 about disabling hardware accleration in IE9

Test build installed.  Upon page load there is a brief display of the flash content in the top-left corner, but then it displays in the correct location.  Upon scrolling down pages, the first time the flash content is rendered it also displays briefly in the top-left corner, but then displays in the correct location.

Although, everone else is referring to IE 9 when discussing their problems, I have the same problem but I am using IE 8 on a computer with OS Windows XP Pro and I have updated the drivers on my Nvidia Geo 6800.  I did not have any problems until I updated to the 10.3 version Flash Player.

Hi, have tried solutions & none r working......any ideas please? xx

Hi,

I have been runnning Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit and IE9 on a HP 2740p Tablet.

The flashing ads not only appeared on Hotmail, but also on News Websites. Some flash based food ordering sites here in NZ showed some funky behaviour in terms of not being able to click on any buttons/links because the mouse clicks were a bit off the buttons.

I have used "Solution 1" updating the Intel HD Graphics drivers. Unfortunately the Intel side doesnt allow me to install version 8.15.10.2361 but refers me to the HP driver download site, which only offers version 8.15.10.2302, which was still higher than my installed version.

I have then used "Solution 3" downloading the Flash Player 10.3.181.15 Update.

At first it didnt make any difference. Ads were still flashing wildly across the screen.

It was only today (maybe after restarting my machine) that all the issues have disappeared and it's all good now. :-)

Cheers, Rainer

I went to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/(remove check mark from) Use Software Rendering instead of GPU Rendering.

It slows things down somewhat, but it's much better than having all that flickering on your screen & not being able to see anything with Flash Player.  I won't fool around with anything else.  At least it's a temporary fix.

Hey Chris, or anybody -

Installed the FP 10.3.181.15, cleared browser history, Uninstalled, reinstalled, manually deleted the SafeVersions key in Registry Editor Chris gave in other posting but still getting warnings that content requires update to Flash Player.

The solution #1 corrected my problem,.

Thank you!

(Don't forget restore point!)

How do you close out the flash cookies? T

hanks.
