Flash files cannot be displayed in Firefox or IE; the plugins crash with Firefox and the so-called built-in version for IE doesn't even show up. The newest version of Chrome works, but leaves a quantity of blank lines above the flash file location.
Anyone else using this OS?

I'm using Server 2012 on my home server, and there Flash seems to be working OK in Chrome. (I refuse to use IE on Server 2012, with all the IE leaks out there...)

OK - the problem seems to be limited to the default administrator's account. When I use another admin level account, IE displays the flash files just fine. However, the Firefox plugin still crashes.
Time for more research.

You really shouldn't be logging on with the default Administrator account anyway

The Firefox plugin seems to fail on every OS, not just Win2K12.

HuwR - When I test a new OS, I try and test every possible feature. It's all part of the beta process.
Ruirib - Firefox plugin works fine with Windows 8, Windows 7, SP here.

Not with my Windows 7 Sp1. Google it and you will see how many people are affected by it.

I downgraded to the latest stable version of flash 10, ever since Adobe upgraded the flash plugin for firefox to version 11. Was having too many problems with it. Surprised they haven't fixed the crashes yet.
