Posted by Pocobueno Posts 24 Registered at 2011-05-27 17:42:56	2012-06-23 08:06:59 - Crash of Flash related tabs in Chrome
	Howdy SOLers. Using Chrome while SOLing, at last once a day my open SOL tabs are freezing and no further Client-Tab is updated anymore. The only thing that helps is to close Chrome and restart it. As you can imagine this is more or less critical during a race. Does anybody of you have similiar problems using Chrome? Any suggestions ? To show some details of this Chrome-behavior, i attached some Screenshots Shot 1: Msgbox in chrome http://up.picr.de/10929128ln.jpg 'Seiten beenden' means 'close tabs' 'warten' means 'wait' Shot 2: Client is no more updated http://up.picr.de/10928991cm.jpg Shot 3: These are the tabs i had currently open, just SOL-related ones. http://up.picr.de/10928993cj.jpg Have a nice weekend Regards Poco (Achim) --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von Pocobueno am 2012-06-23 08:42:39 ---

	I get continually the message "ShockWave flash is inoperative and needs to close" I use Chrome for all my 'sailing'---and I do not understand...... If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	I use Chrome on Win 7 Pro 64bit. Haven't had the problem while SOLing but have in the past. I now run a freeware named Secunia PSI (secunia.com/products/consumer/psi) to make sure all versions of apps are up to date. Making sure you have the latest version of Chrome and Flash seems to help and after each race I run CCleaner to clear the crap out of temp files. I did run SOL contiuously in the Lindisfarne Raid without any probs. I run SOL in a seperate window with maybe only 2 or 3 tabs for Brainaid other SOL stuff like Google Earth. I then use Firefox for any other browsing I may do while SOLing. Hope that helps. Oh, I also have 2 x 24" Samsung 1920x1200 monitors driven by an nVidia Quadro FX 1800 graphics card --- Last Edited by Tyger at 2012-07-12 06:57:19 --- “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	Similar freezing behaviour of Chrome here (and Safari and Firefox are even worse…) ciao Bernd (on Mac)
