I;m trying to troubleshoot why the performance of flash player is slow and found that flash player raises inner exception with message 'vector smash protection is enabled.'

I think because of this inner exception, the performance of the flash is getting slow.

Roughly it takes over 5 seconds until playing the video on every web pages containing flash object.

I'd like to know following several things.

1. Why this message occurs whenever loading flash on web page?

2. How to avoid this issue?

3. Can I disable the unknown feature - 'Vection smash protection' ?

- I've also installed the latest version but the result were same.

- The environment of the reproduction machines are Windows 7(64+32bit) + IE11.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you promptly.

Thanks in advance.
