Hi

What Service Pack is your Windows also once you have told us the answer to DutchMarco's questions?

In part it could be that you need to update, IE6 is old and IE8 is better, as is Firefox or Opera, also do update to latest versions of Java and Flash, these can help online apps as in google maps etc.

I would even though you have latest version installed do a bit of a clean install of the Flash plugin and download the cleaner tool from Adobe HERE and run.

Do same for Java Runtime and run this tool called JavaRA to remove old Java versions.

Then run CCleaner and its Cleaner and Registry tool (run the registry one until nothing shows for removal, do save the registry when it prompts you) then double check in

If 64bit Windows
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed and delete Macromed folder

If 32bit Windows
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed and again delete the folder


if 64bit, then check both areas, just in case.



Then download and install latest Adobe version HERE (do on the Majorgeeks download page click the Firefox, Safari and Opera users need this version link and install that version as well as the IE version, so install both) also update Shockwave HERE

and Java HERE

I just read youtube no longer supports IE 6 and google is phasing out support too.

Alot of the websites are phasing out support .


Also my java and flash is very old that does not help.Well bing maps needs new plugs ins.
