Cannot watch flash videos without CPU going to 100%
I wasn't sure where to ask this question but I will try here first. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that is pretty old and built for XP. It has 2G of DDR and 64MB of ram on the Nvidia card. Processor is a 1.4
I cannot watch any flash videos without the CPU going to 100% and staying there the whole time that I am watching the video. I usually shut it off because the laptop gets extremely hot. Strange is that machine works fine and surfing is completely fine with no issues at all but this one. It is more than capable at surfing the web a watching a few streaming videos but with Flash it seems impossible. I have version 10 of Flash (release) and I have tried the beta. Using Win7 as well and had Vista on here before the upgrade. I have tried many fixes without resolution. I can watch a DVD with Windows Media Player and other players without issue but Flash... forget it.
thanks
