Tell us about Flash in XP

·∙.■■■ Hi, All! ■■■.∙· For some unknown reason, flash videos (those .exe, with attached player). They start up, there is no sound, they begin to slow down, work more and more slowly and, after for a few seconds, they freeze completely. I tried to install the latest, 8th, from the macromedia site: explorer downloaded and downloaded something, then shut up and said “done.” However, the player did not appear, the videos they don't work like that. I downloaded flash player 7 installer, but it only unpacks the dll into directory with the browser and doesn’t do anything anymore. DirectX 9.0, Windows XP Home Edition in standard installation. ·∙.■■■ Happy All! ■■■.∙·
