Whenever I view a page with Flash on it (example www.fox.com), if I move my mouse around the page flickers intensely - like siezure inducing flicker. Is this a known issue, and is there a way to fix it?
- Windows 7 RTM x64
- IE8
- Flash Player, Acrobat Reader, Shockwave Player are all I installed
- Consistent across 3 very different machines (AMD ZM-82 + Radeon HD3200 laptop, Core i7 + NVidia GT220 desktop, P4D + NVidia 6400GT desktop), but all with the above software.

At some point it has to get old having Adobe make people change which Microsoft products they use because they can't get a single plugin working right year after neverending year. A more appropriate suggestion would be disable Flash due to their sorely lacking platform portability - as causing major stability and security issues with the most popular browser for the better part of a decade can't possibly count as supporting it. – Sam Harwell – 2009-09-14T01:53:27.287
1so true ... almost a year ago, they had THIS to say: "Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following Flash Player 10." ongoing commitment my foot :) – None – 2009-09-14T02:01:11.563
That upcoming release is scheduled for 2064? Maybe the want a memorable date, or something like that... – alex – 2009-09-14T06:17:33.360
If you add "(which 280Z28 disagrees with)" after "Some suggestions", I'll mark this as the answer. :) – Sam Harwell – 2009-09-14T15:10:58.790

It's not that I think they're incorrect because they are technically correct statements - I just don't like calling them "suggestions" on how to deal with an Adobe problem. – Sam Harwell – 2009-09-14T23:40:54.117
@alex ADOBE: 64bit computing remains in its infancy as long as it pleases us! :) those who think Microsoft is evil 'ain't seen nothing yet'. Adobe bought Macromedia for the sole purpose of getting their hands on the format, not because of Macromedia's (rather mediocre) product range. and certainly not to dump money into development. Adobe Systems, Inc. has always been about formats (and thus strangleholds), not about advanced technology and if they hadn't struck that fateful deal with the Knoll brothers, Adobe wouldn't be worth mentioning today. :) – None – 2009-09-14T23:53:47.710
