johnost Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 This is not directly FSX related, but I hope someone can shed some light on this. Whenever I open a UTube video, I get a message squarely in the middle of the screen saying Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage vds.rightster.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer. Requested: up to 10kB Currently used: 0kB Allow Deny Of course I have not clicked on anything, as these things can be trapped, but clicking any of the video settings freezes the video - very annoying! Has any of you experienced this and/or know of a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftldave Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 A proper Flash Player installation won't freeze like that. Not updating it, perhaps? I'd uninstall Flash Player, reboot, and reinstall, making sure you're getting your software from Adobe and not some third-party web site. Here's good info about what Flash local storage is about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnost Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks - I followed your suggestion, and the problem seems to have disappeared. Edit: Sorry it just popped up again on a utube video. I will try to ask Adobe what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double J Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Don't use Internet Explorer. It has become completely useless.....even more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskancrab Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 sounds like you have some sort of adware installed.. it's not IE or Flash that's at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnost Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Actually it turned out to be much less serious. I quote Adobe's answer: "That dialog should go away once you click a button. If it's not, then I suspect you're running into a bug (or incompatibility with your video display/driver) within Flash Player. The easiest way to take care of this is the following: 1. Open your system control panel or preferences 2. Find and open the Flash Player control panel (this will be called Flash Player (32-bit) on Windows) 3. Select the "Storage" tab 4. Select either "Allow sites to save information on this computer" (my recommendation) or "Block all sites from storing information on this computer". You're probably set to "Ask me before allowing new sites to save information on this computer". Restart your browser and you shouldn't get that dialog again." My guess is that I have been running "Allow" for years, and recent security operations changed it to "Ask me". The resulting cashe is easily eliminated when running cleanup programs like CCleaner.
