Chrome vs. IE - Interesting thing happened tonight

[altrenda]

I didn't know that. I use Firefox and never encountered Chrome issues work-related. So I did some reading and found that Chrome's internal Flash doesn't always play well with the OS installation of Flash. And since you also use Firefox you probably also have an OS installation of Flash.

The thing I found was to open chrome://plugins/, expand details and see if there are two listings. Earlier in this thread you mentioned already doing this but you disabled the OS installation of Flash (located C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_135.dll). But, the fixes I've found adviced to disable Chrome's internal Flash located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.97\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll.

So maybe give that a try. If all else fails then I'd also go for reinstalling Chrome, like Angry Geek suggested. Chances are you run into Flash related problems again some day since you also have host-installed Flash.

Nice one! Clipped to Evernote for future reference.
For our IT support/Help Desk client we have IE, Chrome, and Firefox on every machine. Can't wait to try it on my next call.

if you disable the internal flash wouldnt that also mean flash under chrome is no longer sandboxed? im surprised it will resort to using external flash when you do that.

I'm not surprised, seeing as it lists both versions of flash in the plugins list.

My take

Get rid of Avast! Norton and McAfee are the worst and AVG is full of bloat too. Using MSE for a while now and no major problems...
