Strongly Confused. Still having Flash player trouble?

[Matt]

I have concluded that something must be wrong with my Flash player. Because now though Pandora, Youtube, and other flash based services dont cause my program to become non-respondent but just play very choppy or slow.

I tried a system restore, no help. Tried reinstalling flash, didnt help.

Could someone else please help me?

ALSO No sound comes from any videos or anything not even the start up jingle?

Could this be a driver issue?

Hi Matt, Have you tried uninstalling Flash control using the downloadable uninstall then rebooting (reboot not required but I like to cover all angles!) then reinstalling Flash?

This normally sorts out my girlfriends PC when BBC iPlayer dosn't wanna play nice. It's forever failing on her PC.

what kind of computer do you have is it an hp laptop? my friend had a problem like that with the choppy and slow nonsense it was his audio driver

Hello Matt...

It seems like a driver issue to me, 99% sure...

Please update your audio drivers either from Windows Update if it gives any available audio updates, or from your sound card /motherboard's manufacturer's download page.

If you need help on that, please let us know.

 

[TripOG]

yeah id update drivers too but if you cant get newer drivers try lowering the quality of sound to AM quality

 

[Matt]

Ok, thanks for the help guys. Yeah I do need help on that I have no idea how to find any of those things. I may be tech savvy enough to read techmeme and install windows 7 but I cant fix it for some reason.

 

[limneos]

Ok Matt no problems, that's why we're here.

Please post here your motherboard brand and model. If it's a laptop, please post the laptop's model.

If you don't know how to find your motherboard model, download cpu-z
Run it, and go to tab Mainboard. You will see your motherboard's model there.

 

[Matt]

Thanks man. Ok Dell Inc. Model #: 0GH003

 

[limneos]

That's a laptop. Can you please tell me the laptop's model to save me from searching motherboard strings?

It should be something like e.g. Dell Latitude 110x

 

[Matt]

Wait no this is a desktop. Dell Dimension 8400

Uh I get an error that says: The sile 'C:\dell\drivers\R145149\i386\DevSetup.exe' is missing.

Right click the executable and select "Run as administrator".
If it doesn't help, right-click the executable, select Properties , and under compatibility tab , select run this program as "Windows Vista"

 

[Matt]

Im sorry how do I do this?

 

[Matt]

I got another error now after I found out how to do that. "This operating system is not supported by this software"

 

[Matt]

I think you gave me a 64 bit version. I am running 32 bits. Where can I find that one?
(thanks for your help)

 

[limneos]

You need to right-click on your downloaded file,select properties, then click on the compatibility tab, then select Run this program in compatibility mode for and choose Windows Vista from the list, then press OK and run the program again.

 

[Matt]

No vista isnt working. And this computer previously ran on Windows XP Service pack 3. Uhm is there a 32 bit version?
