EDF,
Same thing happened to mine. Chrome update caused it. I changed my flashplayer back to
the previous one. And while I was at it also went in and disabled auto-update of chrome. Kind
of a pain in the @$$, but worth it on this computer.
Yes, I know everybody is quick to say change browser, do this, do that. I have tried many browsers and none worked as well on this computer as chrome does.
Good luck with it,
Dave
