My laptop hates flash player

I used to think it was a fault with FF 2 that made my cpu max out to 100% but displaying pages with flash plugin bits on them for a while seems to do the same in opera as well.

Any ideas? Don't really have much choice on drivers haing an x200m...

 

slap *** your laptop and tell him whose boss. If that doesn't work go to flashplayer website they have a faq section which you should look into.

 

Oh man, I've dealt with flash b.s. for so many years... When something goes wrong it really opens the gates of hell.

Anyway I'd uninstall opera and FF, reinstall and then reinstall flash player. If you haven't already done so. The help page for flash is Here

Maybe you have some adware/spyware on your machine? I'd run a check for that, as well as viruses.

 

Ooh I had issues with Flash and FF for awhile, turned out the "new" (at the time, probably 1.5-2 years ago now) Quicktime was trying to handle flash and caused all sorts of problems. Check your Quicktime setup and make sure any option pertaining to flash and the web is disabled.

 

I've checked quicktime and it's not trying to handle my flash. Think I've found the problem though, looks like if fp detects an unsupported card it moves things to the cpu. Sounds like that could be my problem.

 

Is there any way to disable flash player stuff in opera? It's starting to really annoy me now!

 

Is there an equivalent extension for Opera like FlashBlock for FF?

 

Found a text you can add to an option user-crated file called browser.css which disables flash. Now to see if that sorts out my problem!

 

Hmmm we had this problem on one of our servers, my friend was trying to view some flash sites and Fire Fox slowed to a crawl. The machine had an ATI 9600 GPU though. We restarted the server and switched to IE, and it solved the problem.

 

I've had the same problem. Under Firefox, the Flashblock extension provides a nice workaround (It also just makes it much more pleasant to browse flash-infested sites)

For Opera, I don't know.
