Why are Adobe Flash Player scripts freezing?

Hello,

I've noticed in the last week or two my scripts for Adobe Flash Player completely freezing up. After a full five minutes of freezing, I get a general warning that:

"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"

"become" unresponsive? lol Anyway, even after I click "yet", it still takes a least another five minutes before it unfreezes. Now, I used to problems with Jave scripts, but those wouldn't take tens-of-minutes to abort. I've literally had Adobe Flash Player scripts freezes for 15 minutes at a time leaving my browser completely unresponsive.

It all happened after updating my plug-ins. I've tried messing around with them, disabling them all. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player and making sure I had the right version for my old-ish operating system (Windows XP). That seemed to work for one session, but it's back to freezing after logging into places like mail.com.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is this a plug-in issue? How can be be remedied?

Is it possible that the maker of the movie you were trying to view has not updated their movie recently. but you can try disabling Graphics hardware acceleration that might help.

Unfortunately, this is not my problem. I can video videos on sites like Youtube, just find. The scripts freeze up on random pages. Basically, anywhere with ads that use Adobe Flash Player. It didn't use to do this.
