Adobe Flash Settings Window keeps popping up

  Each time my screen refreshes, either while playing or anywhere on wgt sites, I getting an annoying, small Adobe Flash player settings window popping up asking me how much information can wgt.com store on my computer.  I can choose anywhere from 1kb to unlimited.  There's also a check box I can select that says 'Never ask again'.  I've tried every single setting, even the 'Never Ask Again' box, but as mentioned earlier, every time the screen refreshes, there it is again.  Anyone else having this issue or know what I can do to stop it for good?

  Thanks

  I haven't heard this prob before. I have had my flash setings at 1mb to unlimited and no probs.

  Depends maybe on your Browser...  Not sure what that might be.   If IE..  then change to another browser.  

  If not, maybe uninstall browser and reload.

  I have 4 Browsers loaded on my puter, One for game and the others for different things...Not at same time

  Yeh, I guess I should have tried another browser before I posted.  Even though it's not my default browser, (Chrome is), I've found through benchmark testing that IE gives me the best performance on this site, so that's what I use when I play.  I'll see if it happens when using Chrome or Firefox.

   

  Thanks for replying.

  If you have your browser settings to clear everything on either exit or start up , could be the problem . This will cause you to reset your options when starting game . Set the file storage to unlimited . Do not check the box " do not ask again " as this cancels out your settings choice and will not allow any storage space . Hope this helps . :-)

  This could be the problem too. I was thinking about cookies getting cleared, then I read Jims link which has some very good tips.

  I don't know why I did this, but I cleared everything...cookies, cache and the rest. Then my browser Comodo cracked the sads. Could not play the game at all. Had to uninstall browser and reload.

  I think clear you caches (if you have to) but don't touch the cookies. 

  I also think ( been doing alot of thinking lately...lol) that IE is the worse browser to use... but that's just me.

  Thanks for all of the suggestions, but still no joy. Its weird because it just started happening for no reason.  It only does it on WGT sites (the main site and the actual game), but no other.  And it only does it in IE.  Although I prefer Chrome for everyday browsing, I get the best game performance when using IE.  But it's a major annoyance, so I guess I'll start using Chrome or Firefox to play until it resolves itself.

  I did the flash benchmark test on my computer i tested 8 browsers.IE  out scored every other browser by over 7,000 points..BUT it didnt make it the best to play the game on ...meter is screwy as it tends to run through after clicking..............best advice is to try a few browsers and use the one that suits your computer / meter the best

  Running windows 8.1 at my end and found Comodo Dragon to be pretty good. Make sure you download it from the Comodo site and not the other site which is dodgy, that's if you try that.

  Lots of people are using Maxthon3 and that's pretty good too.

  I found the meter using chrome was too quick and the meter on Firefox was a bit jumpy.

  That's just at my end...  might be different with your puter.
