    Reinstall browser?

      HI folks

       

      About three days ago I began noticing that *ANY* time I displayed a page in my browser that had a Flash Video on the page, I got a message saying that Shockwave Flash may be busy or has stopped responding. If I click the "Stop Plugin" button I see a message that Flash has crashed.

       

      This seems to happen in both Firefox (version 25) and in IE 10.0.10. Google Chrome is fine. Using Windows 7 Professional and have 8 gigs RAM.

       

      My preferred browser is Firefox.

       

      I've downloaded the uninstaller for Flash Player and performed an uninstall as well as install the very latest Flash Player version.

       

      Really stumped.

       

      Cheers... Rick

          Okay, after days of head scratching and posting here as a last resort, I think I managed to solve it, So posting reply in case it will help others.

           

          It seems my free disk space was to blame. It had grown rather sparse. After making more room, things began working again. Go figure.
