stupid adobe flashplayer

[steptoe]

could this be anything to do with a dual output graphics card that somehow adobe is picking up on and deciding to do its own thing with?

Sides, its youtube running in firefox (hmmm should I try it in IE?)

Steps - you may have something there as it is dual output - ie 2x video cards - 1x onboard and one PCI slot.

The thing is canw, I need both video outputs because we use a projector. I did remove adobe and installed an earlier version. As soon as you try and watch a video you get a message telling you that you need to upgrade to the latest version! cant win!

why the need to watch live?

or are you secretly streaming the footie.? :slap

OK heres the scenario (for instance) Next week I have a funeral to do. The family are not church goers but have chosen some hymns for the service. We dont really 'Do' hymns as we have a band with guitars etc and not an organ. You can go on youtube and find a choir with organ etc and the words shown as well. When you have a situation like this, those attending the funeral don't sing the hymns and I end up doing a solo all by myself. At least with the video I have some backing!

Im still lost as to why you cant simply download it and play as needed?

just set up a folder on your desktop labelled "BBB" and its sorted.

I see what you mean. yes I can do that.

I know it doesnt really sort out your problem RevJames,

but, as in lots of things in life,

its not about getting rid of them, its about learning to live with them, and finding ways to avoid the problems involved.
