  In this environment (wgt.com/forums...) I can interact with wgt. But the flash content and ads aren't showing, therefore I can't see or change my stats or status, logon/logoff controls or hit the Play Now button - there's empty white space <--- over there on the left side of the page. I'm typing this in Chrome, but the behavior is similar across all browsers tested: IE, firefox, palemoon, maxthon, comododragon.

  If I try to directly access the game client, it starts to load then sticks at the 77% point. This has been an off-and-on problem for over a week. I'm pretty sure it's a Flash-WGT incompatibility issue, but why is it intermittent? I was rock solid yesterday and today nothing. 

  I really want to get it functional on ComodoDragon, as that has been the most stable for me, performance, and meter-wise.

  Waaaahhhhh! I want my WGT! Can you tell i'm going through withdrawal symptoms?

  Note: I made the the OP above without logging into WGT! No replies can be made to any post in these forums, however without a successful login.

  Update: WGT logon and play semi-functional in chrome; not yet in Dragon. Very rough meter (what else is new?).

  apparent fix:

  a. disable:

  Name:

  Shockwave Flash

  Description:

  Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502

  Version:

  11,5,502,146

  Location:

  C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_5_502_146.dll

  Type:

  NPAPI

  b, enable:

   Version: 11.5.31.138

  Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31

  Name:

  Shockwave Flash

  Description:

  Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31

  Version:

  11.5.31.138

  Location:

  C:\Users\Bobby\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\11.5.31.138\pepflashplayer.dll

  Type:

  PPAPI (out-of-process)

  Next get Dragon working.

  There was a Flash update recently. Try clearing your caches.

  If you can't get Dragon working you might want to try either Maxthon 3 or SRware Iron. Both are good browsers and Iron at least form me has been out preforming the other 2 lately.

  BTDT, btbs! lol I think now, hind-sight being 20/20, that chasing after the better browser for WGT play had really bogged down my notebook's performance. Before things turned sour a week ago or so, I had (let's see now) ... IE9, FF, Opera, Chrome, Dragon, Palemoon, Maxthon ... you get the picture.

  I finally bit the bullet, and uninstalled every browser, and it's associated file-folder, with the exception of IE9 browser/file, and (at the suggestion of the FF uninstall process!) a grab-bag file of favorites, settings, etc. Then I uninstalled  Flash, in it's entirety.

  Prior to reloading alternate browsers, using my AVG internet security program, did a thorough scrub-down of my entire system and a de-frag of memory.

  Then it was re-install key browsers - for me, Firefox for general surfing and desired background stuff like Pandora audio, Dragon for WGT play, banking, and other secure uses, Chrome for backup of Dragon.

  Finally, re-installed current Flash - both active.x and plug-in for non-IE browsers.

  I've got my Dragon back, smoother than ever ... and operationally everything is faster now.

  After a test drive to verify it all remained functional through repeated cycles and, in an environment of multiple browsers open, that WGT play was solid ... I created a system-restore point, in case things go south in the future.

  I got my WGT back!
