	The other day Chrome was having a hissy fit so I uninstalled it and moved to FF and it works fine.. although I find it freezes after a while (a documented issue with too many windows apparently). I have now reinstalled Chrome and it is behaving. I am using WIN7 and there seem to be some WIN7/Flash type issues. If the "usual" doesn't cure then I think an uninstall/clean/reboot/reinstall of the browser might work? Maybe someone else with specific knowledge of FF can help.

	RainbowChaser said @ 2012-08-08 14:32:35: [...snip...] I am using WIN7 and there seem to be some WIN7/Flash type issues. [...snip...] I agree about Win7 / Flash having issues, BTW it freezes my SOL tabs yet other tabs in FF keep working. I have to reboot my laptop to get SOL working again. My WinXP is running the same version of FF (14.0.1) and Flash (11,3,300,270) and it has no problems, in fact under XP, the Weather Forecast bar is different, I have access to the Options button on the Help tab and can enable both predictors. I need to take care of some business and when I come back +/- 3 hours I will take some sreencaps in the different environments and put them in imageshack, the forum upload facility restricts me to three (3) uploads?

	Win7 environment BTW, there is no Win7-02.jpg because the option like under XP is not there. edit The last one Win7-SOL-frozen.jpg means just that, I could not use ANY tab or button on the screen. /edit --- Last Edited by Han Tacoma-Emons at 2012-08-08 21:17:29 --- LaoziSailor Everything gets done by not doing anything!

	I posted this in the Flash Crash... forum. It may help. 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.

	stoerte and Tyger, tx. for the tips. @Tyger, I know use JV16 (will do the same) and I will look into the Flash Crash thread. I guess, besides my mistakes, I will leave this on the shelf for the time being. Cheers! LaoziSailor Everything gets done by not doing anything!
