sorry man maybe i was not clear in my question, i want to know if the latest flash player 10 will work or only as suggested before the version 9 will work.
and thanks for your much help
To be more specific, the latest version of flash will work in the 32-bit version of IE8, which would be 10.
Peace
Just yesterday, I purchased a Toshiba laptop from Comet which already had Windows 7. Everything is working perfectly fine and fast. However, when I come to download Adobe Flash Player 10 off their website I have problems. The estimated download time is 3 minutes and it took mine an hour to download and even then it said their was problems and I had to start again. I have tried downloading it again and it goes just as slow. Does anybody know what to do? I would be really grateful it'd save me the time and effort of going into Comet and enquiring :)
I really need flash player though to get on youtube etc.
Maybe there's something wrong with your router or your ISP is slow at downloading. I'm no pro though!
Yes...I am also pumped for this beta since I have a new Ion-based nettop...and this release is targeted for offloading Flash processing to the GPU.
It's still very beta, but initial reports are very encouraging:
AnandTech: AnandTech Tests GPU Accelerated Flash 10.1 Prerelease
Some highlights for Ion-based systems:
- Dramatic CPU utilization drops for Windowed and Desktop Hulu
- Curiously, not much improvement (and no CPU drop) for full-screen browser-based Hulu...which they are working on
- An issue with some youtube HD videos with non-standard widths for which the plugin defaults (back) to software-based encoding rather than offloading to the GPU. The article has a workaround...and both Adobe and NVidia are working on it
- Getting full benefit also requires updating drivers to new Flash 10.1 optimized drivers: NVIDIA DRIVERS 195.55
ATI is also working on drivers and promises a release for later today.
I am so pumped. I just bought that Atom 330 / Ion nettop for HTPC use and, while acceptable, it has a way to go since Flash has been CPU-based rather than using the GPU. Big props to Adobe for making the Beta public and doing so only days after their recent demo. They had only been promising for a release in 1H2010.
