About this task
After scanning with Flash Execution active, Flash Player
10.1 (and later) functionality is slightly impaired and behaves like
Flash 10.0 in one respect. It is a feature of version 10.1 (unlike
version 10.0) that the Flash player stops running when its window
is not the active window. This feature is disabled when you scan.When
you have finished scanning you can undo the change that was made.
However, be aware that next time you scan with Flash Execution active
the setting will be changed back again.
Procedure
- Open the Flash Player folder. By default this is usually:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
- Locate the file
mms.cfg
and open it with
a text editor (such as Microsoft Notepad). - Locate the line:
FullFramerateWhenInvisible=True
- Delete this line (or set its value to False).
- Save the file.
- Restart your browser for the change to take effect.
