Rant: Mac

Post by lukethedrifter »

I never ever had so many computer problems as I've had with this thing. Now it's a mac OS/ adobe flash incompatibility issue. Any webpage that loads flash video crashes firefox and/or safari.

Maybe you haven't seen the commercials? Only PCs have problems.

Everyone knows that.

make a new user account, log in as them and see if it works.

If it works, you have a bad preference or setting in your account.

If it doesn't work, then you need to reinstall or update something.

Restart the application...
Reset your modem ...
Reboot your computer ...
Power cycle your computer ...


Sincerely,

First of all, I thought this was going to be about Maclowry.

Second, I think it is funny that you mention mac's and vw's in the same sentence. For years I have found similarities in the two...

So you logged in as the other user? What did you uninstall and reinstall? I'm not having any flash trouble on mine. I'm running OS 10.6.2, and the current Firefox and Safari. Flash version is 10,0,32,18.

If that's all matching on yours, and it doesn't work on the other user, then a file is corrupted somewhere. I'd try downloading and reinstalling just the flash plugin.

I think the only way to fix your problem is to beat the [expletive] out of Justin Long.
