ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[mikepaul]

I caught some sort of malware thing causing popups and a crashed Desktop, so I did a complete reinstall of XP.

Now that instability I'd seen a few times before has come down to Flash 9 not just crashing IE7 or Firefox 3, but rebooting the PC.

Problem is, Flash 8 refuses to install when the OCX refuses to register. Has anyone else had problems with Flash 8/9 and care to share how they got them resolved? I do need some sort of Flash support for various websites that are otherwise blank pages.

Thanks...

Oh, important point after some reading: I installed SP3, which is blamed for IE7 and Firefox 3 crashing while viewing Flash pages, but I don't read about any rebooting like I'm getting...
