Re: Newer Flash player plugins go berserk/crazy/bonker in SeaMonkey v2.1x.x in an old 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 box.
On 4/29/2013 9:10 AM PT, Ken Rudolph typed: Has anyone had Flash videos go blank and act weird as shown in http://i.imgur.com/GugQV05.gif as an example? I have to either exit/quit SeaMonkey or kill Flash's plugin-container.exe process. I did not have this problems with older Flash versions like v11.5 or earlier. It started recently with v11.6 and v11.7 IIRC. It seems to happen a lot lately. I tried clearing caches, but that doesn't seem to help. I keep my SeaMonkey, Windows, and Flash player plugins/addon updated. I never see this problem on my office machine with 64-bit W7 EE SP1 and similiar softwares installed. http://pastie.org/private/biufyftsz7kofbu1kk6q for my Process Explorer v15.3 dump of Flash's plugin-container.exe going wacky. I'm troubled by frequent Flash crashes with the latest version (W7+, SM 2.17.1, Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169). I suppose I have to go to a previous version since this has only started with the most recent update. Any suggestions where to find a version that doesn't crash and which is the best one to use for Seamonkey? You know what's weird? I never have crashes in 64-bit W7 SP1, but do in XP Pro.

Check connectivity to the Internet. Double-Click on Internet Explorer and attempt to display webpages. - If webpages open very slowly or not at all, it is not just a Newsgroup fault, but the whole connection. - If webpages open at normal speed, continue below. 2. Check server settings.

Re: Newer Flash player plugins go berserk/crazy/bonker in SeaMonkey v2.1x.x in an old 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 box.
Interviewed by CNN on 30/04/2013 05:48, Ant told the world: You know what's weird? I never have crashes in 64-bit W7 SP1, but do in XP Pro. SP3. :( Not that weird. XP is in terminal life-support as it is, with the plug scheduled to be pulled April 2014. Microsoft simply does not bother to fix anything that is not a security issue or a really big showstopper nowadays. And in one year's time, not even that. If the new edition of the Flash plugin touches something in Windows that is revealed to be not as robust as it should be... well, tough luck for XP users. From Steve Ballmer's POV, they should be forking money to buy Windows 8 anyway, so anything that makes XP more annoying to use is not really a problem for him. There's this meme going around that XP is somehow perfect as it is. Sorry to say, but it's simply not true. XP has numerous issues, some of them entrenched very deep in its basic architecture. I'm working on phasing it out from my customers, and good riddance -- every time I upgrade a machine from XP to Win7 (in the same hardware, mind you) support issues go down. If a machine is not good enough to run Win7, it is too old to keep in service anyway. (My rule of the thumb is 1 Gb RAM, dual-core CPU and 80 Gb HD -- but I have obtained surprisingly good results even with half those specs) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Garmin plugin install

If I could not register a new GPS device without installing a manufacturer-specific plugin, I would return the device immediately and get one from a more enlightened manufacturer.

Number of URLs shown in the History window.
Hello, guys. In the History window SeaMonkey only shows me URLs that I visited in the recent three months, but the history.dat file in the profile folder takes about 80 mb, which lets me assume it contains much more data on the visited sites. Is there a way to display all the visited sites, not only those visited in the recent three months? May be some preferences accessible via about:config?
