Flash 8 Slow in Vista
<
So I know this is a site for web designers and I keep posting about software issues, but honestly, where would web designers be without their software? So I recently made the leap to Vista. It was a reluctant leap because I knew there’d be issues. Sure enough, there are.
FlashPaper doesn’t work in Vista
And now while trying to work in flash, I found that everytime i double-clicked on an element to edit it, it went really slowly. I was worried for a bit because I’m got this major flash presentation due next week, but then I found a solution at video-tutes.com.
It seems all you need to do is
- go to your flash8.exe file,
- right-click and choose Properties,
- then set the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
This worked like a charm for me, thanks video-tutes!

I can’t say that i’m surprised vista sucks. There are two options switch back to windows XP or invest in a Mac.

i found something too
When you open fireworks, you can work with flash well. Because fireworks change vista’s color settings automaticly. So flash can run under vista very well
But setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) is a better solution. its stable so thanks budy
