    I received my GX640 a few days ago and updated adobe and flash. I can't player any flash from any site. i.e. ESPN,local news, CNN,etc. It keeps saying it needs the newer version of adobe flash yet I have it installed. Any suggestions?

    thanks

    uninstall and reinstall flash player.

    That's definitely just a software thing you could run into with any laptop. Kind of misleading to label it as a GX640 problem

    This is not good to be labeled as a GX640 problem, this should go on OS problems that EVERY Machine has once in a while...

    Are you using some kind of AV software that does script blocking or ad blocking software? I use NoScript on my Firefox and it always gives me a message like that unless I allow the script to run. It doesn't mean that Flash isn't installed, it just was not allowed to run. I also suggest upgrading to the 10.1 Beta. It features GPU acceleration for smoother HD playback.

    Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 10 Prereleases

    And yeah, this should be in the Windows forum, not the GX640 one.

    OK, got it fixed. I uninstalled firefox again and reinstalled. everything is working now. Do't know what the cause was but it works.

    thanks for the input.
