Hi All
KM74 "seems" to be crashing on any site with Flash running after a few minutes, locks up and needs a cold restart (win XP) not tried it on my Win7 notebook yet
There were some discussions about such flash probs, but can't remember too much. Guess there were no general solutions that work for everyone and seems to depend on several things, but others can tell better. Would recommend to search the forum for the last weeks.
Just curious: does it get better with those pref settings?
(accessible on "about:config" page):
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled = false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll = true
Hi all
Well that problem got sorted but I cant remember what I did, I do know when I found teh cure it was a "duh" momment as it was something simple I shoudl have caught ...
a number of things: outdated flash player, outdated video drivers (especially old nVidia or old AMD/ATI ones) or even corrupted K-meleon user profile files can cause KM to crash on pages with flash. those I mentioned are easy to fix.
You probably set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled or dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll to false. The later is a standard setting because it is a known problem on some pages if You touch the flash objects forward/backward function.
