Question

Do you want to abort the script?

As soon as I turn my computer on, I  keep getting a message, " A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your compter may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I click on yes and of course my computer is running in slow. I have a good virus protection, which scans daily and nothing is showing up there. I have been running the Flash Player 10 for some time  now with no problems until the last few days. I have uninstalled the flashplayer, restarted the computer and reinstalled the flashplayer and still get the same message.

I have a hp pavilion a305w desk top

op system of windows 98

I have the Flash Player on another computer in the house and I am not having any problems there. Any sugestions?

    Hi, The following is from a 2009 thread that explains this. I really can't add anything to it, as this person would know. He is no longer at Adobe. What is explained is that it most likely is a website/video/movie. I get this message once in awhile, but just click yes. This is something to do with that, not your computer or Flash Player.

    Re: Adobe Flash Player 10 Error Message

    That is the timeout script for actionscript content inside a Flash SWF that is causing a 15second+ processing loop (or up to 60 seconds for Flex created content)

    It has to be coming from somewhere, and that somewhere has to be some type of Flash content.  There's no other way it could legitimately happen.  Take a close look at what apps and pages you have open when the error happens (control-alt-delete and look at Task Manager) and report back...
