    I've been having the same issues since July.  A friend of mine pointed me to this thread and mentioned others were having the same issues as me.  At the time I was running Windows XP 32 bit and the most current version of flash at that time, using firefox as my web browser.  I encountered the same symptoms on both my desktop and my laptop pc, which was and is running Windows 7 and using firefox.  I experienced similar problems at the time using IE.  Prior to these problems I used to watch videos frequently on sites such as MegaVideo, Novamovies, Megashares, etc.  The only way I can describe the symptoms is as another member did... lag.  If I watch a video as its loading it seems to work fine, but if I pause the video, it seems like the longer the video is open the slower the playback is.  The audio is fine, but the video lags, skipping a large number of frames at a time and "jumping" ahead.  I used to be able to pause a video, let it buffer and then come back and watch it days later, but now I can't even go 24 hours.

    Since then, I have upgraded to Win 7 on my desktop, I have upgraded my video card as well and no longer rely on my onboard video.  I have upgraded to Flash 11, and Firefox 7, and I still have seen these same problems with every update that comes out.  The fact that I'm experiencing the same issue with two different pc's tells me that something was changed and not fixed, but I'm surprised this has gone on for so long and not been repaired through many updates to adobe and firefox.   I do not know if the problem still occurs in IE.  I can check it out.  I don't use IE ever.

    For the record, I get the same responses in IE.  I tested it out again.

      What need to mainly focus on is fixing the lag is the one probally causing all these other issues. (It started happen after 10.3.183.5) Perfromance Slowdown countines. Even try cleaning it its fast in the beginning than it gets laggy so it must be memory leak they never notice.

      Do you have any example URL's (or bug numbers) you can give me?  I know of one animation slowdown that was introduced in 183.5, but we fixed it with .7.  I'd be happy to investigate further.  In addition, have you tried our Flash Player 11 rc release?  If not, I'd highly recommend it.  Its very close to final code.

      Thanks,

      Chris

      Nothing definitive yet, though we something should be out in the next few weeks.  What sort of problem are you having?  Have you verified that it's fixed in our RC build that we have up on Labs?

      Flash Player 11 RC

      Thanks,

      Chris,

      I was still seeing issues where multi-line text was getting cut off at the end of the first line.  I just updated to 10.3.183.10 and this seems to have been fixed.  Thanks.

      I updated my Flashplayer to this new release. However, the updater installed Chrome on my system without giving me the option to do so. Sure it's no biggie to uninstall it but as far as I am concerned that's unethical and needs to be fixed.

      Can you go to the About Flash Player page and verify your installed version?  What are you trying to click on that isn't responding?

      Thanks,

      Chris

      I went there and it said "You have version 10,3,183,7 installed". I was trying to click into my flash settings because it was asking me about using my camera and allowing storage but I couldn't click anything I ended up having to go to my system preferences and using those settings. But I find it quite annoying I can't click any of my flash settings when i right click into them..

      How do I install it? (Windows 7 64bit)

      I downloaded install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe. When I doubleclick it, the security warning appears. After I confirm that I trust Adobe Systems Incorporated, the wait mouse cursor spins for some seconds, but nothing else happens.

      When will Adobe be distributing the MSI for this release for distribution to IE and Firefox in windows platform?

      The current MSI seems to be for 10.3.183.5 still?

      All installers, including MSI, at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html are version 10.3.183.7

      If you still seem to download an older version, make sure you clear any corporate download caches, as well as your browser caches.

      thank you pat. that link needs to be put someplace in big bold at the top of the forum. it would save much frustration every time adobe wants to push a new flash version.

      i don't know why adobe insists on forcing it cr*pware installer on us. please just make it easy to download and install. a link to an exe or msi is perfect. thank you.
