hi All - is it just me or are all Chrome users experiencing a "Silverlight has crashed" message? Predictably when replying to an email but can happen any time. What is the solution? Suggestions please. If this has been asked elswhere, just point me to it. thanks - pcwoe

I don't have that add-on in Chrome.
Do you need it? if not I would just disable it.
Mark
thanks Mark - I think you got it in one.
I probably don't need what Silverlight does. I uninstalled it and replied to an email - without a "crash" message.
Hopefully, that's that. thanks again Mark.

SIlverlight is Microsoft's answer to Flash and was released two or three years ago. But to date, as far as I can see, there has not been that much take up on it, except perhaps in Microsoft sites.
So removing/disabling it shouldn't cause many problems.

I am having similar problems...
but even uninstalling Silverlight did not take care of the problem
Research "Flash hardware acceleration" for the usual fix to this one.
If not, the work gets very deep as we explore what the machine is made of.
