Flash7 System Requirements Macromedia has tested Flash Player extensively on the following minimum hardware configurations: Windows 450 MHz Intel Pentium II processor (or equivalent) and later 128MB RAM Macintosh 500 MHz PowerPC G3 and later 128MB RAM and when "they" say "minimum", they usually mean with no other processes running in your puter at all! and that includes an "OS" that has a pretty hefty set of "minimum requirements" all by itself. toss in background virus scanners, firewalls, background "quick launch" stuff, accessibility options, background IM clients ... (i'd suggest that older hardware back down to 98SE if they still have the installation media available.) my 667MHz puter just barely gets there, and it gets sluggish in a lot of places! i noticed folks bouncing in and out last night while the forum was down, and one of them i know is well below this level. i would imagine that there are a number of people running on older hardware that just can't afford to get something "modern".
Hmmmm....now I wonder who that could have been anAfrican? Well, you won't be able to use that new computer if your lights have been turned off, now will ya? LOL Actually, anAfrican gave me some valuable information regarding my computer. Thank you a million for that brotha! The problem is now, if I open this computer up, in an attempt to install more memory, and do something to it I shouldn't, I won't be online at all. So, we'll see what I decide to do...
actually, replacing memory in that laptop only requires opening a panel that is quite similar to the panels one opens to replace batteries in other things; it doesn't expose anything else at all. instructions, and a graphic are in the "parts replacement" pdf found from the link in that page i emailed you.
I switched computers, and can no longer get into chat myself. I enabled all of the Active X plug-ins but still NADA!
