Could not load Shockwave Flash

[watts]

I get this error frequently in the chrome web browser (Version 26.0.1410.64 m) when I'm on icmag only. Everything is updated on my end.

Not sure why it does it, it gets annoying but it's not a big issue. Just thought i'd let you know.

I've got the same version of Chrome (on Win7) and haven't seen it. Flash is not installed as a program and I have no extensions in Chrome. Does a person need Flash these days?

i believe flash is built into the chrome browser.

Oh, I see.

Watts, what operating system are you using?

XP. I had weird network issues with windows 7 but not with XP so that's why i'm on XP for now.

I also have flash installed on my computer. Do I not need to have it installed? I just don't understand why it only does it on icmag.

I use firefox and have been having issues with shockwave this last week or so. I went in to my add-ons and disabled shockwave and my internet has never worked better.

My laptop used to get hot as hell if I had a few windows open, now my comp fan is much quieter and doesnt get nearly as hot.

The latest version of shockwave I have installed is May 13, 2013.
It works for me using Firefox and win7.

You should have it installed so you don't get errors. Some banners require flash.

Humm, I seem to have the same problem. And yes, it could be related to flash. If you leave icmag windows open, banners will continue to rotate, including flash banners, which might keep your computer from sleeping... Good catch!

The obvious solutions are to either close your icmag windows, or close the lid of your laptop to make it sleep (that's what I usually do).

I know it's been nice, no more annoying ads or pop ups with flash video slowing my internet down. It was the last update when things really got bad for me, it has always made my internet slow down a bit but recently It's been getting really sluggish then after like 10 mins an error message would pop up saying shockwave crashed.

It's easy enough to turn back on if I want to watch videos or anything, but for everyday browsing it works great.
