Flash seems to stutter if tab is not active

No,
I was refering to the flag:
"Tab hibernation
Mac, Windows, Linux
Enables idle background tabs to hibernate."

So I am running Windows 7 64-bit. Where might I find this setting?

Type 'opera:flags' into Operas address bar and press enter/return. Scroll through that list for 'Tab hibernation mode' and see if it is enabled, if so, disable it.

Thanks, found it. It was already disabled. Any other ideas?

NPAPI. What is the difference, if you don't mind sharing some knowledge with a less fortunate soul

Try the ppapi one, it uses to be better.

Ppapi (or pepper) is a new plugin architecture, more modern.

Choose the third link under the 'Windows' heading about halfway down the page, titled 'Download Flash Player for Opera and Chromium based applications – PPAPI'.

Thank you both, I will try it right now.

I switched yesterday from NPAPI to the PPAPI flash plugin without any problems. Working fine so far.

You might consider to uninstall the NPAPI flash if PPAPI is working fine for you. You can see the detected plugins here (click on show details at the top right corner):

opera://plugins

Nevertheless Opera wouldn't load both plugins, but prefers PPAPI as far as I know.

I tried this too, but it has brought no joy.

It is so strange. I have a flash game open in one tab right now and when I go to this tab to type this message, it is as though my game is paused.
