its been doing this here for about 2 months now, my have been an update thats the problem, i dont knowRunning Vista Ultimate SP1 and IE7 on an old FX53 cpu machine @ 2.4ghz.
Mostly ok but IE keeps either taking ages to swap pages or locking up altogether anyone else suffering? any ideas?
Yes ie7 become anoying and freezes up often. IE8 has that issue fixed here.
had same issue with ie7 for months so swapped to ie8 beta 2 and its still the same.........
sounds like you're using IE..
switch to Firefox, and install ablock plus, then choose 'easylist' subscription
for fast & clean browsing
It would appear that Adobe have fallen out with Microsoft to such an extent that they have now started introducing serious bugs into their IE add-on and coordinating their efforts with Google-owned Youtube in order to alienate users of IE and cause them to seek alternative web browsers.
I never had any major problems like this with Flash 9.
Microsoft need to improve their sandboxing of third party plug-ins. That is quite clear. I hope they fit this in for the IE8 RTM.
It really needs to come up with some sort of dialog along the lines of "Adobe Flash 10 has malfunctioned and this tab has been closed". Otherwise people are blindly just going to assume that it is IE that is crashing rather than the Flash plug-in.
