All of the answers I have seen seem to not understand the workaround I have used for my almost 13 year old machine. It is a matter of priority. My machine can handle flash video - mp4's - etc - but cannot handle firefox and flash at the same time. I call up Task Manager and assign plugin container priority of real-time which causes everything else to wait while flash plays. The total system usage is only about 35% while running.


Thanks

First, you are quite out of date. The version of Flash you have installed is very old, slow and insecure, and so if the Firefox.

You should update to Firefox 13.0.1 (Update Firefox to the latest release). Then, update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

Then, after that, Update Windows (install all service packs, etc).

Most the recent discussions concerning Flash (in the last month or so) have been related to new versions of Firefox and much newer versions of Flash, so of course your "fix" for a 13 year old PC wouldn't have been mentioned - it probably isn't applicable to users who purchased their PC in this century.

Thanks for the reply but no one looks at old equipment and I had no idea how to post a workaround for folks and get it out there in the world, Wife died and I kept reading about flash issues. I have a $40 computer just right now. The answer is correct - the programmers write firefox to run in normal priority and if you computer has legs then great. But if not then then be appreciative of the firefox team for helping keep your old machine working witha few minor.

Tweek the process so that plugin runs realtime/high and set firefox to run below normal. Then if you can run flash without a browser at regular speeds you can do so using firefox.

so whats the deal?

Just call up Task Manager and right-click and set prioriy/ The programmers need to give focus to flash and put their program in background but maintain a small priority for mouse movement

My equipment is very out of date for a desktop - but it is approximately equal to a laptop. I bought a laptop which I threw away about two months ago. I did not realize that laptop security would require me to put a password in bios before wiping the HD. I stopped the wiping at 5% and rebooted - with sensitive material I could trust the machine to a Tech so I so threw it away (you need the HD to reset a lost password on a laptop).

I could not use flash on it either and it was brand new. The solution works for laptops. I do not have a regular monitor - but a cheap $79.00 ATSC TV that also can handle NTSC with two HDMI ports - an AVI input - VGA - and USB for my old machine - the computer cannot figure out the monitor as it is not plug and pray.

So I just tell it that it is equal natively to a laptop at 1368 x 768 - voila - full screen.

Workarounds are not desined for people who wany and have money for 8 foot TV's.

thanks
