I was wondering if flash MX is what is responsible for slowing my computer after long periods of use, whenever i have flash and multiple programs running for a while, the computer is slowed a LOT, even when i close the programs. It is fixed when i restart the computer, but i am wondering if anyone else gets this issue. MY comp: 1 ghz windows ME 312 megs of ram should not be slowed by a program like flash mx, but it is. Why? ---

What other programs are you running when you run flash? I doubt it would be flash that is causing it, maybe you have another program that is running in the background. ---
