This is really weird. Whenever I exit Flash my computer acts a bit strange. After you close it, the clock in the bottom right hand corner changes its font to a thicker style (like changing it to bold) and all the windows that are minimised down on the bottom of the screen appear blank. This is really inconvenient and I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this or if they know a solution to the problem. Thanks.

TOB :-\

By the way…I’m running this on Win 98.

I’ve never experienced that either…why don’t you uninstall it and reinstall it. :-\

I have seen this happen on cracked software before (I’m not saying yours is…), and it was due to a resource leak with W98.

The way it was solved was the Windows way… uninstall, reboot, clean & reinstall.

Sorry I can’t be of more help…

TOOL that has happened to me as well, but only when I overload my computer when multitasking. The way to get rid of it is to restart, because eventually when it happens to me my comp just won’t act correctly. Also, use the msconfig option to close programs from running at startup. This helped for me a lot.
