I can’t pin point when flash movies started totally locking up computer, but in the last two weeks I
Installed new DVD burner from TSST (samsung) and installed “Live Update” software and subsequently deleted it after strange behavior
My keyboard ps/2 connector is bad, so I installed a wireless keyboard/mouse, then removed and replaced with MI mulitimedia Keyboard (buttons for browser/media player, etc)
Static Flash or Animated Flash plays fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Flash players for both IE7 and Firefox 2.0. The freezing behavior takes place in both browsers.
Have recently added DSL modem and will shortly cut off cable modem connection, but have no trouble enabling/disabling and running them one at a time. The freezing behavior takes place on both connections (one at a time of course).
Video card is a BTG 5600 Ultra 128mb with Microsoft drivers. That setup played flash movies/content fine for a long time (18mos installed).
Too many variables lead me to post. Anyone heard of such behavior:
When clicking on Macromedia Flash movie, the screen changes to the loading message and a beginning bit will show loading then it will within one second freeze the cursor and all controls and only reset or turning off the computer will work. ctrl-alt-del does nothing.
Any “points” in the right direction for trouble shooting based on your similar flash freezing experience will be appreciated.
