Flash Freeze

When watching tv from a website (i.e. cbs, nbc, etc.) or a YouTube video, the
video will often freeze for no apparent reason. Sometimes I can move the
slider and get it going, but I miss a little of the video. I updated
FlashPlayer according to their instructions and this did nothing. I asked the
people at Adobe and haven't received any response yet. This doesn't happen on
my desktop running XP, only on my laptop with Vista Home Premium.

Which web browser are you using, Firefox or IE? Have you tried removing it
from the Add-ons manager in IE then reinstall from Adobe?

I'm using IE.

No, it never occured to me to do that and Adobe doesn't suggest any such
thing. Maybe I'll give it a try, though.

Use the above link to get the proper uninstaller.
Then reinstall it.

Thanks Mick. This is how I uninstalled it about a month ago, then
reinstallled according to Adobe's instructions. Nothing changed.

I think I'll have to wait some time until either MS or Adobe makes a change
that is effective in my situation. In the meantime, my laptop is useless for
video over 5 minutes.
