    Do you have the latest version of Flash? What exactly do you keep stored in your Flash application that someone would *want* to hack your Flash application? Lol

    Hi Sean yeah that was a bit drastic :p

    I have installed Flash player 10 10.0.32.18 and Flash player 17 17.0.0.134.
    And Shockwave player 12.1 12.1.7.157.

    I cant narrow it down but think its something to do with the post reply buttons or an external script but seems to effect my flash only will try to replicate it or when it does and take screenshot. Might try ripping it out completely like a bad tooth and reinstall but might reformat the box soon anyway depends how much I eat over Easter.

    Thanks for your time!

    And dont eat too many eggs! :)

    Maybe get rid of the old version? Maybe having 2 versions installed is causing problems?

    Yeah good shout. I think they are both needed though. One is NPAPI and the other is ActiveX.

    ActiveX is for Internet Explorer. Which I don't ever use.
    NPAPI is for Firefox and other NPAPI-based browsers.

    But if I get rid of one, at some point, I will be asked to install it again.
    Not happened today yet though fingers crossed!
