FLASH: Mouse-Keyboard Demon Exorcised! flash 5 plugin culprit?

[Michael Werth]

from a DV editing list i monitor (mostly mac-based) - and now that you

mention it, my puter has been sucking bag for about the amount of time i've

had flash 5 installed....hmmm... any resources at hand for going back to

flash 4 plugin for win98???


> Nailed the problem:  Flash 5.

> My desktop machine always has Eudora Pro and Netscape Navigator

> After a reboot or a cold start, I usually start up both Eudora and

> after both apps were running - as if I'd changed the mouse settings.

> This morning, for no reason, I started Eudora only, got my mail, and

> then noticed that the mouse was as zippy as right after restarting.

> When I started up Navigator, it went all sluggish.  Aha!

>

> About four days ago I installed Flash 5 in Navigator.  Fortunately, I

> archive most installers, and still had the Flash 4 installer.  I

> yanked out Flash 5, reinstalled 4, and everything's now humming along

> flawlessly.
