Hey look, it's Icey with his Linux problems again. Yay! />

The Flash plugin doesn't work correctly everywhere, for example the embedded videos, picture here:


But whenever I try to install Flash, the plugin searcher just keeps searching and searching and searching for plugins. For all eternity.

I have reinstalled Firefox just in case, and besides Firefox getting updated, nothing changed.
Going to Adobe's official page gives me nothing useful, because I have no idea how to compile. Same goes for open alternatives for Flash; it all goes well until the moment I have to compile the things.
That's the word for installing those package thingies, right? owo;

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Wrong image refuses to be replaced; image removed.

Long story short, ever since I updated Flash to the most recent version (as of now), it doesn't work right.

YouTube videos give me a black screen that has the hall of mirrors effect, that was the first thing that happened. So I've decided to uninstall it, only to get even more errors. Chrome's telling me that Flash is still installed, Firefox doesn't. Two non-internet Flash Players don't work because some plugin isn't installed, and no matter how many times I reinstall this shit it just doesn't work.
Hell, I can't even uninstall it. I can go through the uninstall process thousand times and it just won't get uninstalled despite that the countdown from 100% to 0% shows all the time.
I'm using Windows 7 (and I'm considering to downgrade back to Windows XP. Sure, it might be slower and stuff, but stuff at least works on there).

I'd heaps appreciate help and stuff. ._.;

EDIT: The Flash players I'm using are Eolsoft flash player and Flash Saver.

And sorry for sounding so frustrated and stuff.

Long story short, I bought a new motherboard. Another long story short, my friend was kind enough to put the thing in, reinstall Windows and that idiot even formatted my entire hard drive, which I wasn't exactly fond of, geko.
So yeah, after installing the drivers and stuff back, I plug in my heaps awesome modem and install it as well. I downloaded the DAP download accelerator which I was using for some time with 200-300 kb/s average. Now it barely goes over 70 kb/s, despite that I tried multiple settings in TuneUp, geko. Does any of you have any idea why and how can it be fixed and stuff? I use Windows XP with Service Pack 3, a Dual Core AMD Athlon 5000+ processor clocking at 2.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM.

^ In even shorter:

DAP is heaps slow and I need help.

EDIT: Just after I posted this, DAP went up to around 410 kb/s, but once I started editing this post, it went back to 70-100. And yes, it's using 5 connections.
Minor edit: Fixed link.

Geko, it works already. I heaps love problems that magically solve themselves!

Unlike my graphics card computer (old or new, whatever components, it makes nothing but problems and me rage). Recently I bought an ASUS EAH5750 DDR 5 with 1 GB capacity.

GUESS WHAT? Not only it eats electricity and two cables from the power source, but IT'S OVERHEATING AT SONIC EFFING HEROES, WALL-E and... haven't tested other games yet, except for Quake III, which works heaps well so far with highest possible graphics setting + downloaded HD patch. This is odd. At WALL-E the computer restarts after a few minutes, but at Heroes... after around half an hour or so. I went through from Seaside Hill to Power Plant with Team Sonic before it restarted. I don't know what the stuff could be wrong.

About the temperature, I didn't see it get higher than 60°C because the computer has restarted before I could check if it went higher or not. I looked in the BIOS settings, but found nothing that could help me. I even turned off the auto-restart thing in Windows, but... yeah, it restarts even so, which, I think, means that there shouldn't be any problems with the OS.

My hardware: Windows XP with Service Pack 3, Dual Core AMD Athlon 5000+ processor clocking at 2.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM, and the aformentioned ASUS EAH5750 1 GBDDR 5 graphics card.
So yeah, help pl0x.

EDIT: While it indeed does go over 59°C at games like WALL-E and Sonic Heroes, it apparently isn't causing problems, because just now I ran WALL-E with just about minimal graphic specs - the system restarted even then, around 20 seconds (maximum possible time) after checking that the graphics card temperature was 49°C. What could it be, then?

Hai gaiz, Icey's got two teeny little problems:

- the documents folder for my account doesn't show in My Computer (it exists, just doesn't show there)
- for some reason I can't open pictures with the Picture Viewer on the Desktop, yet it works flawlessly everywhere else. Even if I open the desktop in a folder, the Picture Viewer doesn't work for stuff on/in the desktop. Nevermind, it solved itself magically. -shrug-

Not urgent stuff, but kinda bug me. Help pl0x and Icey loves you heaps~ <3

EDIT: I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 260... oh screw this, XP.

Gonna be short.
- I installed Ubuntu.
- I need Wine to run my incredibly awesome modem.
- Wine needs to check some updates from the internet.
- Deb package doesn't work (reliability problems).
- Icey doesn't know what to do.

Help pl0x.

EDIT: Gonna be un-short.

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). It works fine and all, though for my incredibly awesome USB modem to work, I need to install an .exe file, and for that, I need Wine. However, Ubuntu wants to connect to the internet to search for updates, otherwise Wine won't work. My Ubuntu's architecture is i386, though the .deb package I downloaded to install Wine gives me an "Dependency is not satisfiable: libaudio2" error.
My graphics card driver also doesn't work without Wine (or at all ), I'm afraid.
