TV online is 20 frames per minute!
I notice that they've sent me two version of Adobe in the last week or so -- and I was up to date to begin with. I was hoping the first one would fix a "script won't stop running" problem I have with a few pages, including www.dictionary.com in Firefox3, but it didn't. I got the second version a day or two ago, but I haven't had nerve enough to risk freezing Firefox. It's recommeneded to uninstall all vestiges of Flash and rebooting before installing a new one. Sometimes the uninstall leaves something. Secunia PSI is a free program to tell what needs security updates that finds leftovers alot for me. I have to go delete remaining folders, like system32\Macromedia. I download the latest Flash Uninstaller from Adobe but I think you can also do it from the Programs thing in Control Panel. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

I download the latest Flash Uninstaller from Adobe but I think you can also do it from the Programs thing in Control Panel. Thanks. I may do that. Actually the downloaded uninstaller might remove more than the individual items in Programs for the 2 Flash's -- the dx for IE and the plugin for Firefox (if you've installed Flash in both). -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

For example, I haven't even turned the modem off and on and done the tests again. To cut the phone line I have to find my modular connector tool and the connectors and the wire cutters. It could easily be weeks, or even months** (Frankly, the low speed hasn't bothered me until I wanted to watch the tv show. With youtube, it's often fast enough but I just do something in another tab or program if it doesn't dl quickly enough._ **Also I only got going because I had to get the new video card for the computer I'm fixing up and wanted to make sure that wasn't the source of the probelm. But I plan to start a new thread here that starts Follow-up on connection speed, or something like that. |

I'm working through a saga with Hulu, 480p, run full-screen at 1440x900 on a 19" widescreen monitor. All by itself it's decent but not very sharp. Often a bit dark and flat. Recently Adobe came out with its 10.1 Flash player that enables hardware acceleration using the video card. I notice that they've sent me two version of Adobe in the last week or so -- and I was up to date to begin with. I was hoping the first one would fix a "script won't stop running" problem I have with a few pages, including www.dictionary.com in Firefox3, but it didn't. I got the second version a day or two ago, but I haven't had nerve enough to risk freezing Firefox. My hope was that now I could use the adjustable enhancements of my card on Hulu -- namely Sharpening and Dynamic Contrast; also brightness, contrast, and hopefully, gamma. I have a Radeon 7000, since last Deember. I assume even though the number is higher, that it's older than your 4670. Even so it has all those adjustments you talk about and I was/am afraid to touch them. :~| In XP I haven't even started the program in months, although when I go back to win98, it starts automatically (but I ignore it) I am not literally color-blind but I have no artistic sense or sense of color and I'm not even that good at black and white! My Radeon 4670 will do it in Win 7. In XP I'm having terrible problems, which wouldn't be so bad except I want it to work on a friend's XP PC that I will visit to maintain in a bit over a month. Oh, yeah. I sent for and will be trying a geforce GT 240. I think the nvidia drivers will do pretty well compared to the ATI's, which have glitches in the control panel that are not really excusable. The ATI bum driver reputation continues. We'll see. At any rate, in Win 7, with the 4670, I can make Hulu look almost like a DVD! That's great. FYI, the geforce GT 240 is the minimum (current) nvidia card for highest quality video in players that can actually use it. Tentatively, I'd say get that one. But haven't tested it yet. It's also a power-sipper. I'm getting the ASUS with the big fan -- reviews say it's really quiet. Got one for $40 with rebate and free shipping! I'll try to read this group, even after I get my new computer running. The Radeon 7000 is absolutely ancient It isn't capable of video acceleration AFAIK the only ATI cards that do support it are the 2xxx - 5xxx cards. |
