Hi Terri, I saw the CPU allotment adustment slider in the Photosphop settings and just tapped it down from 60% to 40%. Go To: Performance > Memory Usage > Move the slider to your preference Had a positive effect so I went with it. Kevin PS - One more thing that is good now from all the suggestions I implemented there is no longer that black screen that would pop up into the workspace and seem to hang everything.  That is gone and now the normal workspace is displaying fast as it should be.- Kevin PSS - For anyone needing a great Font Preview & Management program, I use and highly recommend NexusFont.           Info and Download >> http://www.xiles.net/           ( You should launch NexusFont before launching Photoshop and leave NexusFont running while using Photoshop ) ...

Hi Jacek, I understand your view and I agree it sucks to have to disable features to make Photoshop work properly.  I'm just happy I got it to work at this point and don't care about the features I unchecked since I won't be utilizing them anyway. There are definitely lots of bugs with 2017.  It clearly was not well tested and should not have been released. Having been a computer geek my whole life this isn't the first time I've dealt with buggy software and it surely won't be the last.  I know for developers it's gotten to be a major task to get software working properly on all the OS and hardware platforms they have to deal with now plus mobile platforms. Anyway, I'm all good now and Photoshop is working fine again. Kevin ... View more

Wow.  Finally got Photoshop 2017 working fast like prior versions. I'm on WIndows 10. I tried several of the suggestions from a number of posts on here. 1. Running it now as an Adminstrator. 2. Unchecked all the "unchecks" suggested. 3. Decreased Photoshop's CPU Limit from 60% to 40%.    4. Disabled all the sync options. Voila!  Happy camper again!  Thank you to all who posted the suggestions! Kevin ... View more

Puffin works fine for both embedded flash videos and flash based video stream code. Of course that's technically streaming with Puffin side server system, but nonetheless if you want flash now in 4.4, that is the only workable way I've found so far. ... View more

Good info to know! Thanks Mike! I think the issue is simply there is still a mega ton of flash coded website content delivery systems on the Net that isn't going to be updated anytime soon. I know I see flash everywhere still on the sites I visit everyday and just recently have noticed a tiny stream of migration to HTML 5 video players. The best example of all is Google's YouTube itself. You have to request the HTML 5 Player. It's not enabled by default. So Google is still deliverying with Flash which is quite ironic since they're the ones leading the charge for all websites to get rid of it. Another thing I noticed on YouTube is if you enable their HTML 5 Player instead of the YT Flash Player than the highest resolution you get is 720p. You can't watch in 1080p. That's screwy and defeats the purpose of producers creating high res content for YT. I've been on the Net since it started as a domain name investor and website developer myself and I would say the one of the biggest problems has always been keeping unification of code format as well as unification of rendering engines on that side, which has been a nightmare for site developers to get their websites looking perfect in every browser. IE being the worst to deal with. Back to the Flash issue, I did discover on my Nexus 7 besides being able to view with Puffin's browser, that if you switch from MOBILE mode to DESKTOP mode on some sites embeded flash will play. The streams still won't though in either mode. Thanks for the update! Kevin ... View more

Same problem with my Nexus 7 after the 4.4 KitKat update. Only solution I found so far is to use the Puffin Web Browser.  It's on the google play store in 2 versions. There is a free trial, but that only allows you to play flash during daytime hours. If you upgrade this version then you get charged $1.99 per year. Better deal is to start with the Puffin full version instead of the trial because then you only pay a one time charge to buy the app of $2.99. You can view flash 24/7 with this full version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin I'm not sure how Puffin is making flash work but I think they fetch the flash on the page you are on to their server and then convert it to HTML 5 or something that does enable the flash to stream. I've tried every other mobile browser I could find and only Puffin works.  I've alerted the Firefox dev team to find some kind of work around and they are doing that. A  lot of people are going to be super pissed off after their phones and tables update to 4.4 and they find out all their favorite sites that use flash to deliver video content won't work anymore. Google wants to get rid of flash on the web apparently and they are trying to force websites to convert all their content delivery from flash to HTML 5 code.  This is a huge task because there is so much content that is coded for flash from all the years past and to think every website is going to spend the money and time to change to HTML 5 is ludicrous. Anyway, the hack guys are all over this 4.4 flash issue too and hopefully they will find a workaround to re-enable flash on 4.4 so it will work on all browsers again. ... View more
