Guest blb Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I was wondering - I have had issues with Adobe.. I uninstalled and re-installed, although was difficult to do. My daughter loves the Webkinz site.. when she is on it - certain things call for adobe flash. It gets an error message that"a script in the movie is causing adobe to run slowly. continuing may cause computer to become unresponsive" if I abort - it does not allow access to that area of the website.... if I continue - I have to do so multiple times before it will allow access... Any suggestiions?

Untick the google toolbar option! http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BUIGP -- Mad Mike "blb" wrote: > I was wondering - I have had issues with Adobe..

I would try testing on another computer, just to see if the problem is specific to your current installations of software. Can the problem be reproduced on some other web page besides Webkinz ? A public site we can test for ourselves ? I don't particularly want to know your "secret password" :-) This page plays an animation in two sections of the webpage. The upper image should display something about Shockwave. The lower one shows the version of Flash you've installed. http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ Flash is up to version 10 now. You can get "non web" update versions here. When you download one of their ZIP files, there are a lot of unnecessary files in there. The "Flash Player ActiveX" executable file, would install the latest Flash Player for Internet Explorer. The "Flash Player Plugin" executable file, installs Flash for Firefox or other Netscape-like browsers. I had to use that method, when the web based update did not work correctly. There is a "Debug" and a "Release" set of files, and end-users would use the Release ones. They're all there, when you unzip the downloaded file. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html There might also be USENET news groups that support Flash, where you could also find people who know Flash inside-out. Sometimes, these things can be slow, due to the amount of interpreted languages used. I tried one site, which used both Shockwave and Java code, and did animations. It was all that my computer could handle, and the animation was not that smooth. There were no warning dialogs, but it also didn't work as well as it could have. The machine I was on, was a P4 at 3GHz. For another $2000, I'm sure I could buy a computer that would run it smoothly :-) Paul
