    For some reason when I open these two applications
    my memory keep running up
    which after a while a single IE/word window can get up to 1gb ....

    anyone knows y?

    also for many times my IE window will just close
    and says "flash 10x" error ......

    ps: these two problems happen in both of
    my laptop and desktop ..... which i have just bought my laptop a week ago

    Is that the complete error message? If not, post the complete error message.

    Have you done a complete virus, trojan, and malware scan? Since both of your computers are affected, I'm going to guess it is either some piece of software you installed on both computers, or it is due to a virus on both machines.

    Uninstall the flash player completely and reboot your computer. Let us know if you still have the error.

    my IE 7 gives also errors, something like that:

    If i open about several tabs ( it doesn't have to be many of them, just few ) then suddenly when i open another page ( in new window or new tab, doesn't matter ), then it hangs, and there is nothing you can do, just close. But if i close it, then all the IE7 windows ( all pages ) also close. and then i have to start all over, from finding the right webpages, it is very annoying

    GUESS WHAT?!?!!

    Chuck IE and get Firefox! It will save you hours of frustration and will save you about 100,000 key strokes and 50,000 mouse clicks every day!

    No, you really should switch to Firefox. It's way better. Just try it!

    Guess what?

    My firefox often decides to halt youtube videos at 0:02 as well as giving me issues with flash videos. I wouldn't call it a common problem, but there are some issues with it. Reinstalling flash player doesn't do anything for it either.

    vista + IE really really suck
    these errors come out in both of my computers
    WTH!

    i used to have firefox on my old laptop, no errors at all
    the problem is bookmarks, as i have millions of them
    how can i change them into firebox format?

    Download and install CCleaner. Run it and scan for registry errors - let it find and fix all of them. Also, let it clean up all of your temporary files (everything but your cookies). Reboot. See if things improve.

    Also, make sure you have all of the latest Windows updates, and the latest drivers for your hardware.

    Firefox automatically transfers them over when you install it. (isn't that nice :D )
    When you install Firefox it will ask you if you want to import your bookmarks from IE. Say yes and your good to go!

    IE7 is a great browser. I've never had any problems with it, and there are quite a few websites out there (banking, secure data, etc) that work better with it than Firefox. I use Firefox as my primary browser, but I certainly won't say that it saves me time, and I definitely wouldn't stop using IE7.

    I think with all the Flash - there are bugs in the Flash palyer.

    I think under Flash palyer 9 Folders with Flash video led to an explorer crash (stopped with Flash 10) iplayer ceased working with Flash 9...

    Flash contains bugs - somehow...
