Hi , on one my computers i have run into weird problems with Flash player, its play videos on youtube for instance but the videos start to appear on other parts of the screen and in other tabs if i open them while the video is playing. The video will sometimes break up aswell but i can alwways hear the audio playing.

My operating system is windows XP (32 bit) and the browser is internet explorer 8 (32 bit), Ive tried using google chrome but the same thing happens on that as well. The version of flash player i have installed is 10,2,152,32, ive tried to uninstall it and install a older version but that does not seem to make a difference, any help?

    Hi, You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
    then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.

    Try this to see if it helps.

    Thanks,

    same problem here!

    with xp + FF 4b12 + youtube

    in the attached screenshot you can see  how the flash content window sticks to upper left corner and covers everything underneath it

    it even there even when I minimize the FF window.

    This problems exists only since 10.2.152.32

    Is there a solution to this?
