As you can see I should have no problem running this program; the other products from the Adobe CS6 line-up run just fine. Can anyone help me figure out why it's doing this?

Every time I try to draw a brush stroke it just paints a dot and starts lagging like crazy. Nothing really responds/is stuck in paint-brush cursor mode until you hover over the program icon on the toolbar. It's not just that, but generally whenever you try to make a selection or make an input with any other tool in the program there's just this major lag.

I could really use some help please!

    Well I installed the graphics driver and restarted my system as planned (among other things), but the same problems persist :/

    Seriously, any help would be greatly appreciated

    Flash is not a typical program, and it's not comparable to other Adobe tools.

    Frankly I'm surprised any of them work on that thing at all.

    Flash's editor dates back to the Macromedia days, and Flash itself, yes even the editor, carries with it some of the curious stink that the player does.


    The problem is: you are trying to run it on a Tablet PC

    do you have any evidence at all of anyone running a tool so sophisticated on a tablet so unsophisticated?

    This tablet is able to run all adobe products; it's a full-fledged computer as well as a wacom-pressure touch screen tablet. It is able to run the other programs no problem.

    The issue is that it's basing performance on the Intel HD Graphics built into CPU. There should be a way to get it to base performance off of the software itself instead of the CPU but i'm not sure how

    That's kind of what I was talking about when I said the editor carries the baggage of the a player

    A signature feature of CS6 (maybe even 5) was that the Flash runtime rides the GPU acceleration pretty hard now

    but that's exclusively an AS3 runtime feature


    if you had an AS2 FLA, it's possible that it could make that not happen, but don't count on it impacting the editor

    I'm mainly just trying to use flash for animation and nothing more. Is there any way to cut out the excess fat of the program so that it's not so taxing on the GPU?
