[sussex_mug] Flash and Lion - oops!

Hi all, Just thought that I'd point out that me and others (on Apple's discussion forum) are having grief with Flash on Lion. So far, since last week, it's brought my iMac to the state of needing a restart four times. Sometimes it plays a Flash video fine and sometimes my entire Mac just locks

In case anyone is interested (!). I used my PC to zip up the file and that seemed to work. This might be a case of the Mac trying to be helpful but actually doing something in the background that causes problems. Richard On 4 Aug 2011, at 11:52, Richard Wells wrote: > I am having problems wit
