It's causing IE to crash when people watch training videos in flash off Youtube via the terminal server... which as a TS mind you does not have particularly adept video hardware.

    I don't have info on disabling hardware acceleration in Flash player.  However, if you are running Flash video in a terminal server environment, especially to remote users/locations, I strongly suggest that you look at Ericom Blaze, a software product that accelerates and compresses standard Microsoft RDP, so it speeds RDP while conserving bandwidth. Blaze accelerates RDP performance by as much as 10-25 times, and helps deliver higher frame rates and reduce screen freezes and choppiness.

    You can read more about Blaze and download a free evaluation at:

    Or view a video demo at:

    Hope this helps.

    I don't think that this information is kept in the registry, but in the user profile.  You have to disable it via Flash Player Settings.

    really? That's a shame. in an environment with 20-30 let's say... less adept people who only know how to do what they are specifically shown it could be tedious to teach them all.

    Can anybody else confirm there is no registry fix for this?
