Question

Flash 10.0.42.34 - IE8 Windows 7 Flickering

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of building a custom SOE for a company which will be rolled out to a few thousand machines (yes we have the re-distributable Flash Player under an Adobe Agreement).

I have installed the latest version of the Flash Player ActiveX plug-in on Windows 7 x64 machines (IE = 32 bit obviously). Ever since installing the plug-in IE has started to flicker like crazy, especially on sites that contain flash content. With sites that are purely built on Flash, they are completely unreadable due to the flicking.

I have also noticed this problem only occurs with certain types of Graphics Cards - e.g. in the DC7600 which has the Intel 82945G integrated graphics card, but not on the DC7900 with the Q45/Q43. I have tried upgrading the Graphics drivers to the latest version, BIOS, Chipset - everything. Nothing is working.

The only way I can stop this problem is to disable the Flash plug-in. Obviously this will be a difficult option to present to the business but may be forced to.

Has anyone seen this? Any ideas how to fix it - apart from not installing the Flash plug-in?

Thanks,

Ben

    Dear all,

    * I comfirm that :
      HP Compaq 6000 Pro Desktop PC series - Websites Using Adobe Shockwave Flash Plugins are Performing Slowly
      http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c02509418&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=4024462
      Idle Power Savings" from the system BIOS menu has to be modified from the default value "Extended" to the value "Normal"
     
      works successfully on 8000 series also
     
    * I found a white paper : http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/downloads/cmi_whitepaper.pdf
      about CMI that alllows to change BIOS settings remotely
     
    * I found someone posting .VBS scripts to dump the BIOS and to change a(nother) setting
      http://www.kozeniauskas.com/itblog/2008/01/18/remotely-change-bios-settings/
      Use https://www.glue.umd.edu/~nsw/ench250/scancode.htm to put your own bios password into the script

    I will post again to let you know if we were able to successfully use those script to do a mass change of this
    annoying BIOS setting

    I can confirm that

    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c02509418&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=4024462

    propose a solution that works on 8000 series (perhaps because we share the same Intel graphic chipset G43/G45)

    The solution is :

    In order to have the issue resolved, the value "Idle Power Savings" from the system BIOS menu has to be modified (Press F10 at the time of reboot to access to the BIOS Menu, Power, OS Power Mgmt) from the default value "Extended" to the value "Normal". Then savings the changes into the BIOS menu and rebooting the machine.

    Dear 2WayTechnology


    * 10.0.x version works fine

    * 10.1.x and above are choppy on HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF PC

    I am going to try the HP fix found in this thread : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3032441#3032441

    Have you tried 10.0.x versions ?
    Are you using HP desktop PC ?
    Is your problem already solved ?

    Regards

    Christophe

    Hi kesasar, I saw that you used that solution on the other thread you mentioned and that worked for you.

    Thanks for the feedback there.
