A little bit of computer hell
We've had a rough 24 hours on our desktop computer (don't laugh, it's running Windows Vista). All of a sudden Google Music wouldn't play music. And when it tried to, YouTube videos wouldn't have any sound. After a while the YouTube came back, but Google Music remained fubarred. Some other flash movies also had no sound. These problems existed across four different browsers.
It's a problem with Flash Player 11, a true POS from Adobe. Even they admit it's screwed up. We finally uninstalled Flash Player 11.3 and reverted all the way back to 10.3. Problems solved, at least so far.
High-tech dolts.

Flash player 11.3 update has also in recent days disabled Firefox for millions of users. Any page with flash content causes Firefox to crash. I had to uninstall it and revert to earlier version of flash player.

There's also a virus sneaking in through a hole in this update.
I NEVER install the new updates of adobe. I wait and wait and wait. I eventually do the install, but not right away. That program has been prone to exploits and problems far too often.
Of course I also have to deal with the constant prompts. What a world!
