I get the message: "Shockwave Flash may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete" Usually I can do neither. It just freezes up completely, so all I can do is shut the computer down. or turn it off, then restart it This is a horible problem that is slowly getting worse.

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
