Macromedia flash advertising - taxing my CPU

    Hi.

    I have a P4 2.0ghz machine with 1GB of RAM, running win XP pro SP1, IE with all patches applied and macromedia flash player v7.0.19.0 installed.  With the Imceda SQL Litespeed ad that appears down the left hand side of the site sometimes, my CPU is 100% utilised when that ad is in view.  I can scroll down or minimise the window and the CPU drops straight away.  The ApexSQL ad (also flash) does not appear to have this problem.

    This isn't such a big problem unless I am reading the articles and forum for the past week or so with about 15-20 windows open

    Does anyone else get this problem??

    Cheers!

    I have an old PIII 450MHz lap top and don't get the problem no matter how many windows I have open.

    Mind you I do tend to use Firefox rather than IE.

    Using IE and not seeing this on any of my machines even the PIII 550 with 128 MB of RAM I have right next to me at work.

     

    Might try reinstalling Flash player.

    You could also turn flash "off" with a freeware utility from
