The new guy...
Before I found this thread, I submitted a post at:
Windows 7, Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X; Flickers and flashes anyone?
I am new to Windows 7, 64 bit anything, and posting to forums. So, please bare with me. I could use a little help (some would say a lot of help).
I just installed Windows 7 RC today. I Like it. I like it a lot. It's fast, pretty, and somewhat familiar.
System Information:
Dell Latitude D620 laptop.
Intel Core 2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz 1.67 GHz
1.0 GB RAM
64 Bit OS
The Issue:
When viewing webpages with images (and flash content), the webpage flickers or flashes briefly when I scroll or move the page.
I am not entirely sure of the differences in 64 bit / 32 bit operating systems and applications. However, I noticed that there are 2 Internet Explorers installed with Winidows 7. Both are IE8, however one is "64 bit". I started off with the 64 bit browser and came to a webpage with Flash content. It prompted me to install flash. I expect to download plugins since the OS is freshly installed. I was directed to the Flash website and tried to download the player/plugin. However, I recieved a notice stating that Flash does not support a 64 bit browser. I closed the browser and opened the 32 bit version. I went to the Flash website and downloaded to goods. Now, I am getting the flickers and flashes when viewing many website with images and Flash content.
For a test, I just opened the 64 bit browser and went too Yahoo.com. I did NOT recieve the flickers and flashes that I do on the 32 bit version of IE.
I hope I didn't over complicate the issue and provided enough information. In the end, my question is somewhat simple. What would you reccomend I install on my system to allow me to view the mojority of websites on the web.
Be well
