  1. Mine seems OK with it. I just installed a Flash update a few days ago but haven't spent much time on the computer since. Mostly on the iPad. I agree about developers and Flash. It's terrible for mobile devices. Even MS and Adobe have admitted as much. Why in this day web page designers still use Flash is beyond me. It's like they don't know that 20% of the people surfing the web are using devices that don't run it. Whenever I run into a page that won't run because it needs Flash, I copy/paste my standard message back to their feedback link. Here it is. Feel free to use it. Your lack of support for iOS devices is unconscionable at this point. Requiring Adobe Flash is holding you back. The number of iOS devices that are your potential customers number close to 1/2 billion.....that's 1/2 BILLION !!!!!! The world is changing and you're not changing with it. Most of the top Internet sites realize this and have updated their services to not require Adobe Flash. Adobe itself recognizes that Flash isn't suitable for mobile devices, and are no longer updating it for Android. Microsoft Windows 8 will have only limited support for it. Yes there's costs associated with updating your site but if even if only 0.1% of the 1/2 billion users that are sign up with you, that's 500,000 new customers. Your advertisers will pay for the upgrade to your site. We use our iPads and iPhones almost exclusively now. We only get on our desktop and laptop computers to do the heavy duty stuff. Looking at your web based services is not the heavy duty stuff. We want to be able to have fully functional sites on our browsers too; not a cheesed down app that doesn't give the user everything the full site does. When mobile device users see a website, and the first thing they see is a message telling them they need Adobe Flash and they can't use it on their device, they immediately close that browser page, and go to a page that doesn't require it. Mobile users would never bookmark a mobile unfriendly site. Mobile devices are fast replacing newspapers and magazines and the number of users looking at websites on mobile devices is rapidly dwarfing the desktop computer web-browsing population. And before long, few if any mobile devices will run Flash because it is a processor and battery eating piece of software with security vulnerabilities. What's your rationale for having a website where the majority of the web-browsing population sees nothing but "Adobe Flash Required" or the page controls don't work.? Requiring Flash on your website puts you in the same position as the buggy whip makers once cars took over in the early 20th century. Flash is 1990s technology. Move on and stay in business. I think since I wrote that a couple of years ago, the number is more like 700 million now

  2. I never install drivers for the HDMI port, and leave it with an exclamation mark. Maybe this sound card can be disabled in the device manager even after it has been installed. Identify by vendor and device ids which is which.

  3. I've always hated Flash me too. And the same goes for Java. Both are a security risk to any system.

  4. It's working for me. Never had an issue like that. Are your other browsers working with flash after the install? ... as I'm sure you already know, I've always hated flash. But even if it died today... we'll be dealing with it for years to come. Flash developers have to know by now that they're riding on fumes and should be transitioning. If they don't, eventually, they'll be severely limiting their audience.
