    What browser? What websites? What operating system? What computer? Details, details, details... And did you play with FloashPlayer settings for hardware acceleration and all that...?

    Also, it's not enough to download the player, you also need to install it.

    Where would one find the "hardware accelerations" settings?  I created another thread on this same topic before finding this one.  I am running Win7-64bit, trying to view movie trailers from many different locations, and other videos, but youtube works fine.  I use Chrome and Firefox both for browsers, and the issue is in both.

     

    ***Edit*** I found out where the hardware acceleration issue was, I disabled it and my issues have been resolved in all of my browsers.

    Thanks for posting back.  If disabling hardware acceleration resolves the problem, you might be able to update your video drivers and re-enable it for better performance.

     

    Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

     

    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
