Flash - jerky playback and CPU pegged at 100%

This happens in Firefox, Opera and IE - all updated to latest version.
Latest version of Flash plugin installed. Updated my video drivers. Playing
any flash video yields spasmodic, jerky playback, with frames dropping,
flicker and my CPU maxxed out at 100%. This system runs on a 1 GHz CPU and 2
GB RAM, not the best Vista setup, but other than this Flash problem the
system runs Vista fine.

Hi Tattoo Vampire-
You upgraded from Adobe Flash Player 9 to 10? There have been som
issues.
Go to the Adobe Flash Player forum: Adobe.com/support/forums.
Scroll down to the Flash Player forum. Your FP10 may not have installe
correctly. Check out the thread "Flash Player and Windows Vista Fix" an
the reply by "techangel". It might help you. Check out some othe
threads while you're there. There have been IE7 Hang issues an
FP10/Yahoo issues (Yahoo is working on a fix)

I didn't see this thread anywhere, notr anything posted by "techangel".
Anyhow, it was a fresh install of 10, and I also used their uninstall tool
(and not add/remove programs) to remove it and then reinstall.

This isn't a Vista-specific problem as it turns out - I installed Ubuntu on
this machine and am experiencing the same problem. So, now to figure out
what's going wrong.

Going to drop in a faster CPU. If that doesn't work, I'll replace this
Nvidia GEForce FX5200; I've been reading all sorts of negative things about
it concerning both Linux and Vista.

Hi Tattoo Vampire-
I was just over at the Adobe FP forum. The thread is on page 2 now. Th
name is "thetechangel.com" not "techangel". Sorry 'bout that. The threa
was started 2/16/07, so scroll way down to the bottom for his reply o
10/23/08. Also, he has started a new thread "Adobe Flash Player 10 Fi
For Vista & XP" dated 10/31/08, also on page 2.
Some of these issues seem to affect both FP10 upgrades and fresh FP1
installations, regardless of your browser. I read an old thread fro
last year (a new reply brought it up) in this Techarena forum sayin
that you had to have Java installed to download FP (first I had heard o
that).
I can't help ya on Ubuntu as I don't know enough about it to even fak
an answer! Cool name, though...
Good luck
