    Seemingly arbitrary flashes do not load.

      First off, I made this account specifically for bringing up the issue I am having.

      Now, onto the issue itself:  For some Flashes, it will simply not load.  I'll get a white screen, and right-clicking it will only yield "About Adobe Flash 15.0.0.189" and "Movie not loaded", and the latter will be greyed out.

      Normally, Flash items load within seconds for me.  When this issue occurs, I can refresh tens of times and wait several minutes, and still nothing.  I admit, I may be being a little impatient in regards to this.

       

      As for statistics....

       

      I am running Windows 8.1, 64 bit OS, with an x64 based processor.

       

      It was a clean install, and I did this less than a week ago.  I am very sure I have my drivers up to date.  (I checked less than a day ago from the time of writing this.)

       

      I have tried installing the latest version of Flash.  I've done so multiple times in fact.  The majority of videos on Youtube, streaming sites and flash games work.

       

      I have experienced the issue on 4 different browsers (IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari), and it did not help one bit.  I downloaded the last 2 of those browsers for the purpose of trying to figure out, and maybe solve this issue.

       

      I have experienced this issue on multiple different websites.

       

      I in fact, recently switched to this computer from an older one, running an older OS, older versions of Firefox, and as of this date, seems to have a dying hard drive.  It NEVER experienced this issue.  This is not hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction or whatever such a statement would properly be called.  To the best of my recollection, it is fact.

       

       

      I apologize in advance for my attitude.  Thank you in advance to anyone who offers me assistance in solving this issue.
