    I'm satisfied with the performance and reliability of IE9 RC now, but after I've installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2 my browser keeps crashing! Anyone with same problem yet? I need to find Flash Player 10.1 but it is not there anymore D:

    Maybe try another browser?

    Google Chrome is a faster browser than Internet Explorer.

    IE9 was out today I think, I installed it in the Lap at work, and there still some sites that have problems, some videos don´t show that´s why I still not updated from IE8 in my m11x, I like IE9, I used the beta some time ago, but I´m gonna wait a little more....

    Broken keyboard--should be broken record.

    It there is one thing that drives me crazy about internet bulletin boards it is this: someone has a problem or observation and some fanboy strolls in with his perfectly uninformed position to say "don't use that, use this..."

    It's one thing when someone says, "I am not happy with (insert program here), could someone recommend another?"

    It's quite another when someone says I am having a problem with...

    Do you really think this guy is not aware their are other browsers? Seriously?

    If all you have "you're stupid for using something when a smart guy like me prefers something else" either stay home or start your own thread extolling the virtues of your favorite fanboy theme of the moment.


    -------------------end rant --------

    Now, Divine Aura,

    I have not duplicated the problem with the current release candidate. However, I noticed similar issues with an earlier release of ie9 and flash

    Did you by any chance remove the previous version of flash or just update over the old.

    When I had this problem, I used the flash uninstaller, available here:

    Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

    Then reinstalled flash and it seemed to alleviate the problem somewhat. I cannot say if this will address your issue as we now have a more complicated mix--a fresh out of beta flash and a still RC of Ie9, but give it a shot and report back your results.

    Internet Explorer 9.0.8080.16413

    And Flash 10.2.152.26

    -> Youtube works fine, plays, doesn't crash...

    Maybe try removing flash with the Flash uninstaller from Adobe and reinstall it?

    Tried the uninstaller.........
    Still doesn't work
    However, flash player DOES work when I turn off GPU rendering for IE9
    That's strange......

    -> Well, I am on an Ancient Intel X3100 (why do I need a battery killer? :)) and it works fine.

    -> So it could be an NVidia issue ;)

    I'm having the same issue. Samsung QX410-S02, NV 310m, win7 64. I'm thinking it's a Nvida issue. I have no problems on my desktop running ATI 5770.

    Have you updated the video drivers...those on the Dell website are a little stale. Both nvidia and intel have released updated video drivers suitable for your computer since then
