Terrible Flash Player 11.8 performance on high spec Inspiron 7720 17R SE.
Hi
I'm experiencing terrible performance with anything related to Flash Player 11.8 - Youtube, BBC iPlayer etc. Video playback is choppy and jerky, and it's worse full screen.
When developing flash animations with software called SwishMax that uses an embedded ActiveX player, in-app performance is the same. Choppy, broken up.
I have tried with hardware acceleration on and off, but no difference.
I do not know if this is a Flash issue or a DELL laptop issue. It's a high spec machine - Core i7, 8GB, Win 7x64, NVidia 650M\2GB so there should be no problem with this.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Are there things I should check or reconfigure for optimum playback?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Richard

Thanks ... will need to test more but it does seem better overall after uninstalling and reinstalling.
However, it hasn't fixed the issue with the ActiveX Flash plugin used by Internet Explorer and a number of media applications which use the ActiveX Flash plugin to deliver embedded Flash content. Probably a Flash issue.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
I would advise you to reset the Internet explorer settings and also try using the flash programs/applications in other browser like chrome or Firefox and let me know.

Hi ...
The issue is with the performance of the ActiveX plugin itself.
As posted previously, the ActiveX flash plugin performs poorly in other applications which use embedded Flash, so it's not an Internet Explorer or browser issue.
Thanks

Hi
There's absolutely no way I'm going to be doing that. This is my working laptop which I need for my business.
Thanks for your help
