Question

Adobe Flash Player

Sep 28, 2015 6:16AM PDT

Does any one else have problems with Adobe Flash Player?? When it states I need to install Adobe Flash Player to see photos or videos I install it. Each time I do, shortly after a get a deadly Blue Screen.
Unless I uninstall this program I get the Blue Screen. This has happened to me about 5 times. After uninstalling I have no more problems in getting the Blue Screen. Has this happened to any other members? I now do not install Adobe Flash Player any more.

Google this and disable....

"Disable Flash Hardware Acceleration"

Why this is, why it may work is well discussed. But it does help most machines with the symptom you wrote about.
