[SOLVED] Flash Player Problem - Requires refresh each time

amkeew · 01-27-2009, 03:03 AM

When I access any youtube or any other flash player videos over net, the video screen appears but the screen goes away immediately. After I refresh the page, the video appears again and works fine. This happens everytime.

I uninstalled the adobe flash player and re-installed the latest version 10.0 but the problem perists.

What could be the problem ? I use slimbrowser, which works on IE platform.

Welcome to TSF

Try clearing the browser cache

Thanks GG. I clean browser cache often in a day by CCleaner & Advanced System Care softwares. No dice.

Try Firefox. It could be something in Slimbrowser

Thanks GG. I have been using SB for over 4 years and like it very much. I have also experimented with firefox, chrome, opera et. al. but I never found them that user-friendly. Anyway, I have dashed off a mail to SB guys and hope to hear from them soon.

Problem solved.

The guys at SB came back (they respond so promptly all the time

) and asked to me disable the In-page ad filter and viola, the problem is solved. It was so simple.
