When I am on a website (for example bridgebaseonline.com), the screen hangs. I recieve a message that the adobe flash plug in has crashed. Reload the page to try again. Sometimes when I am on the Washington Post website, I get no message, but the screen hangs. When I go to task manager on the processes tab, I end the flashplayer, and the screen then will unfreeze and I can continue to read the online newspaper.

Is the browser crashing, or freezing?

In answer to your question about nvidia's network access manager or forceware network manager software installed. As far as I know, I don't. I don't know where to look to see if I did.

I've tried to answer your emails in this forum. But all I get is another email stating the same thing. I've tried to posted the crash numbers in this report. I don't know how else to answer your emails.

That's because you did not follow the directions posted. Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

Fred McD - I tried to follow your directions to send the reports. In order to install Adobe Flashplayer I have to close foxfire. I hope I can get back to this forum when I'm done.
