When I use my PC it's very slow but it's fine on the newer laptop. So maybe it's not the fault of my pc at all. I used to get that message about Flash Player as well with Firefox. I regularly get a message on the laptop saying I'm running out of space and need to use the CC Cleaner. Is that what you're talking about Hicky? The CPU thingy.
Hi Tayto.
The browsers can slow the CPU down, you can usually tell by the sound of the fan inside, when the fan speeds up it means the CPU is running hot because of the demand on it.
You can tell what's going on by calling the 'Task Manager' program up, in Windows XP it's , 'Ctrl, Alt, Del' all pressed together, and when you get the Task Manager you go to 'Processes' on the top bar.
It shows you what program is taking what power up and the total power used all together.
I have it minimised all the time so I can see what's going on.
If the Flash program starts giving problems you will see the browser using all the CPU power, like 100% or near, and when 100% is being used you can't really navigate round anywhere, because the system is bogged down.
If it's a system file that is using the power it's not too bad as it only uses it for a short time.
