I've had a lap top which came with Windows 7 for a couple of months and it's been fine. Until last week when it started hanging when I went to web pages with embedded video. I've had the problem so far with Youtube, other webpages with video, Spotify and Skype.
I solved the problem yesterday by unistalling and re-installing Adobe Flash Player but now it's back (so not really solved then).
I could probably solve it again by reloading Flash but I don't want to have to do that on a daily basis.
Using IE8. I know someone will be along to suggest I switch to Firefox, Chrome etc but, even if that works, it won't sort out the Spotify/Skype side of things will it?
I think it's 32bit 7 and I've taken all the updates for Windows and IE.
Maybe relevant, maybe not – I've had one or two ActiveX problems, particularly the photo uploader for Facebook which never installs properly, asking me if I want to install the ActiveX component again and again without ever completing.
Any ideas?
