Flash Player leaves distorted image residue on desktop


Hello,

On my Lenovo 3000 Laptop, GeForce 9300M GS 64bit driver from NVIDIA is installed and everthing works fine except this:

When I open a Flash Player on any browser, say I watch a video on YouTube in Firefox and when I close the FF, the window where the Flash Player was, is left as a distorted image residue on the desktop.

Printscreen could not copy that image to clipboard so I've photographed it here:

That problem happens only when I visit Flash Player pages. What to do to get rid of it?

Thanks.

I don't know if you using 64 bit version of flashplayer, but it is still in beta stage - it may not work correctly. If you are not aware yet, you can use stable 32 bit version with nspluginwrapper. Check also that you have newest video card drivers.

what OS is on this 64 bit laptop ?
and what version of firefox 3,or 4,or 5 ? and is FF 32 bit or 64 bit ?
--- for the 64 bit FF only --
the 64 bit "Shockwave Flash 11.0 d1"
: /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
has been working just fine ( a few minor odd things) but better than the 32 bit with the wrapper

you do need to remove the wrapper by hand to use the 64 bit
google it


i run Seamonkey 2.2-64bit build


if you are running the 32 bit ff then use the 32 bit flash

Hello

Thank you for the comments,
I've forgotten to mention; the OS is 64bit Ubuntu 10.10.

When I

#file /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.16/firefox-bin

I saw, firefox was 64bits. And when I

#file /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/* (note:I write this from memory, may not be correct)

I saw the flash player being currently used was 32bits.

It must have been about the inconsistency between 64bits firefox and 32bits flash.

I have removed the current Flash Player using Synaptic Package Manager and installed Flash 11 64bits using the directions here

After I restarted Firefox, it seems Flash is working perfectly now, that is no image residue on the desktop or so.

Thank you for the guidance.
