Non-US keyboard users please read, thanks.

For the last few years I've been using a Swiss French keyboard with FCE. Certain keyboard shortcuts have simply not worked like Shift-Z for "Fit the sequence to the window". There are others. Now I'd like to take advantage of as many keyboard shortcuts that I can. (I can easily live without my 'foreign' keyboard)
Here in Switzerland it seems the choice is between "International English" (delivery within 1 day), "English (USA)" (delivery between 2-3 WEEKS!), and "British" (delivery within 1 day). Does anyone know of any significant keyboard shortcuts might not work on the "British" or "International English" keyboards"?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Karsten. You're lucky if your keyboard works in this area but the Swiss French one unfortunately does not. And yes, it's the original, full Apple keyboard that came with the iMac.
I did follow Tom's advice and of course it works but, as everybody knows, everything else changes too - please compare relevant keyboards at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841
Not having keycaps corresponding to what appears on the screen makes life complicated (I frequently switch between apps) and would be unacceptable to the less technically oriented users of my iMac. This approach even requires a restart of the machine! So yes, it works but I have enough grey hair already.
For all sorts of reasons I'm just beginning to switch to FCP. Just yesterday afternoon (thanks to Izzy's excellent FCP course) I discovered comprehensive keyboard remapping so I should be OK from now on!

  • Intel Modem Users please read

    There's an issue with Intel Modem drivers that's holding up the 2.6.16 kernel release, as explained by tpowa here. If you're using either of these drivers, please post here, to give him an idea of the numbers involved.

    Yeah, I'm on the mailing list.  I'm just concerned about the whole "NO NON-GPL!!!!!!!" thing.  I don't use a hell of a lot of non-free, but the idea of simply refusing to allow them is badbadbad imo.  But then, I'm not RMS.
    Well, GPL is by design incompatible to anything else.
    I won't post an opinion now, since I don't have that modem anyway.

  • How to debug a RFC function  when the user is non-dialog type? Please help!

    hi Experts,
      I am calling a RFC FM residing in B from R/3 system A.
    R/3 A -
    Call FM residing in B----
    > R/3 B
    The user attached to the remote destination is a non-dialog type.
    I cannot change the user type of this user.
    Therefore how to debug the RFC FM in System A?
    Are there any alternatives?
    Please help
    Thanks
    Gopal

    in your RFC FM, code an endlees loop.
    something like:
    data: gv_x  type xfeld value 'X'.
    do.
      if gv_x = space.
        exit.
      endif.
    enddo.
    now you can catch the mode in TA SM50, go in it, change gv_x to space and debug what is coming further.

    aperture 3.2.4, macbookpro lion: image disappears after loading from any project; repairing everything on starting app doesn't fix it. Only restarting the computer works. Any help, please? ... in non-technical language please. Thanks

    “Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
    I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
    “Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open.  Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space.  Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
    Safe boot   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
    1  It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    2  It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    3  In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
    4  It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    5  It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    6  It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
    7  Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
    As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
    But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
    "loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or  I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
    I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
    I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers  – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
    Did Aperture work before?
    Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
    If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
    So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
    But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
    My macbookpro details:
    2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
    Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
    Available 387.36 GB
    I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
    I hope this helps you to understand more.
    Thank you for trying to help me.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
    The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

    Checking another images for "Ge60 0nd", we can see that they are placed:
    we don't know why you don't have such.

    but since those keys do what they are suppose to do, its not big issue.

  • Users with NoClassDefFoundError & nested jars - PLEASE READ!!

    A hell of a lot of the traffic on this forum is to do with getting a NoClassDefFoundError while trying to access classes that are inside a jar within your own jar.........please please please read this if you're having this problem, it will explain what's going on, and will save you from having to post the same question for the millionth time!!!
    Unfortunately you can't embed jars within a jar and expect them to be referencable for the classpath from outside the main jar. The "Class-Path" attribute in the manifest is used to refer to other jar files outside of your jar file.
    The usual approach to solve this problem is to unpack the jar files you want to embed and then rejar everything together in one big jar file again. This isn't always a great approach though, I know I'm looking for an alternative. So far my only alternative is dynamic class loading using a classloader, however this isn't great if you need to refer to several hundreds or even thousands of classes.

    As I replied in another post (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=22&thread=416726&tstart=0&trange=100) I think Sun should really add this capability to the JVM itself. Perhaps a new file format, .aar (for Application Archive) that the JVM DOES read embeded .jar/.zip files from. Even if it is only one level deep, that would be extremely helpful. I have built a plugin engine and originally was packaging my plugins in .jar files. But if a plugin "wraps" a library like ant.jar or something, you are out of luck, the plugin has to be un-archived to the disk for it to work. We came up with a solution, which is a .par file (for plugin archive) that does embed everything, but the engine itself at runtime un-archives the .par file into a "working" directory behind the scenes. While this does work, the main problem is if you deploy an app with a lot of plugins it takes a while to un-archive everything before the app initially starts.
    Our next step is to do what Carter says, build a custom jarjar classloader. That is, we'll extend URLClassLoader, and in the loadClass() call (for our plugin engine we break the normal go to parent loader first tradition) we'd have to "scan" a plugin .par file for any .jar files. If the .par file contains .jar files, we then retrieve those and scan them in memory for the class we are looking for.
    As I explained there are no doubt several ways to make this fast. The classloader would want to keep a list of all packages found and in what .jar/.zip they were found in, so as more classes within the package of a given .jar are asked to be loaded, the engine knows exactly what .jar/.zip to jump to. Also, OS hd caching will most likely take affect somewhat thus if many classes from the same .jar file are required it is possible that .jar file would be cached and multiple i/o access will not take place.

    General
    Where do I get the latest software, drivers and firmware?
    Click the link Support > Downloads on this page.
    In general, when installing on a new PC you need to download the driver, and some software to communicate with the player e.g. MediaSource, Media Explorer. For players using the v2.xx MTP/PlayForsure firmware drivers are not necessary, but you must have Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 (this provides the MTP driver).
    Important: Even though files are described as updates, none of the software requires a previous version to install. At worst they will prompt you to connect your player to verify you own a Creative product.
    Note if you are downloading MediaSource make sure to download and install the relevant MediaSource plugin for your player. If MediaSource can't detect your player this is the first thing to check. For the v.xx PDE firmware the plugin is called the Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin for Creative MediaSource , and for the v2 MTP/PlayForSure firmware it's called Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices .
    I am completely new to MP3 players, where should I start?
    Have a read of my Nomad Primer, so called as Creative's MP3 player range tend to be prefixed with the word Nomad.
    I think I have a bug, how can I check?
    There's a known bug list hosted at my site here. If you want to add a bug then please
    I have a wish request for the player, what can I do?
    You can post it here (see the petitions listed in Section of this FAQ), email it to support, and/or add it to the public wishlist I host here by
    I'm having connection problems with my player
    If you can, the best test is to try your player with another PC, to see if you still have the problem. This localises whether the problem is with the PC (most likely the USB) or the player. See the link below (search on "connection problems") for a lot more troubleshooting on this.
    What bit-rate should I encode my music at?
    Ultimately it's down to your ears what bit-rate you prefer, and you should listen for yourself to determine it. If you ask on the forum you'll get many different opinions.
    Make sure to look at the "MP3 vs. WMA" link below also.
    How long should my battery last?
    For the Zen and Nomad Jukebox players, to get some idea of how long your battery will last for a given bit-rate look at the battery curves thread. Ultimately battery life is dependent on how you use the player, make sure to follow the "why doesn't my battery last as long as expected?" link below.
    How long does an RMA take?
    Typically 2 weeks. But it might take a little longer, so don't start posting if it's 5 days.
    I want to know how people feel about their Zen Micro/Touch/MuVo etc.
    There's a long post titled Experience with your Creative player that has many posts from users about their players. Please search back for threads about specific players before starting a new thread.
    Where can I buy online music or get legal downloads for my player?
    See this thread.
    My tracks don't play at the correct speed e.g. they play too slowly, why?
    Chances are they are encoded in an unsupported sampling frequency. The tracks will need to be re-encoded at a supported bit-rate and/or frequency with something like Creative's MediaSource Audio Converter or dbPowerAmp.
    Can a Creative player work on an Apple Mac?
    It isn't officially supported, but some kind folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working with Macs. XNJB provides support for the Zen players, and requires OS X 0.3 or 0.4 (check the site for full details). MuVoHelper solves some problems with getting the MuVo to work optimally. The iTunes Zen plugin should support all Zen players. Note if the link to the plugin is broken just Google "iTunes Zen plugin" to find other sources. Also note there's no guarantee that these programs will work with the Mac, so if you have issues you should address your problems to the developer(s) of the relevant program.
    Can a Creative player work on Linux?
    Again it isn't officially supported, but again some kinds folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working. There's the Gnomad2 project. And don't forget the Linux forum at Nomadness.net if you are still having problems.
    Tag Based Players
    This section covers the players that use a hard disk and work using tags e.g. Zen Xtra, Touch, Micro, Sleek.
    My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?
    If the Zen is not starting properly or not behaving correctly, first try to reset it. To reset all players except for the Zen Micro there is a small switch on the side of the player typically, that you should press using something like a bent paper clip. Don't use anything sharp. To reset the Zen Micro simply remove the battery and replace it.
    If this doesn't work then access rescue mode, and try running a disk cleanup.
    Next you should try reloading the firmware/OS, but beware if you are having connection problems also with your PC you may end up with a player that has no firmware and cannot be reloaded.
    The last resort is to format the player. This will erase the contents from the player, including the content that ships with the player.
    If none of these resolve the problem and you are under warranty you should get in contact with support to arrange replacement of the player.
    If you aren't under warranty Creative will still repair the player, which you can arrange by contacting support.
    How do I do a Disk Cleanup and/or access Rescue/Recovery Mode?
    Refer to the sticky Rescue Mode thread. Disk Cleanup is accessed from this. Note that the MuVo players (with the exclusion of the MuVo? players) do not have Rescue Mode.
    How long should a Disk Cleanup take?
    It should only take a few minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes. Anything longer than this and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
    How long should a format take?
    Only a few seconds. Anything more than a minute and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
    Although I can get into Rescue Mode, I can't select any option, or the options don't work?
    If Rescue Mode is not working properly or commands can't be chosen the player is faulty. You need to contact Creative Support.
    When are the Zen 20Gb/Neeon going to be released outside of the Asia Pacific region?
    Due to popular request the Neeon is launched in the USA, but nowhere else for now. If you want the Neeon then contact your regions Customer Services to request it.
    The Zen 20Gb is available from some shops in the USA and Europe e.g. Cambridge Soundworks, and Amazon.co.uk.
    Is there a known issue with the Zen Micro headphone socket?
    Creative Support have neither confirmed nor denied it officially. Some users have posted purported emails from Creative on the forum saying that the socket has been reinforced, but these have not been confirmed by Creative Support either. The exact incidence of the problem is unknown, but newer players seem to suffer less from it.
    Should I buy the Zen Micro or Touch etc. and what colour should it be?
    We can't tell you what player to get, or what colour it should be. Look at your collection size and the features of the player (see Nomadworld.com for the product pages) and decide yourself based on this.
    Why does my Zen Micro battery drain so quickly?
    The standby time (24 hours from turn-off) for the Zen Micro seems to use a lot more power than previous Zens. Creative have released both v (..0+) and v2 (2.20.05+) firmware that reduces the standby time to 4 hours. Make sure to update to one of these if you have a draining problem.
    Also see JazzMC's detailed page on this problem.
    Why is my Zen Micro/Touch Touchpad so sensiti've and/or difficult to use?
    The Touchpads take some time to get used to.

  • Use non-HP keyboard with new Envy 23?

    My new Envy 23 is darn nice, but I knew before ordering that I probably wouldn't be happy with the keyboard (it feels junky and noisy).  I want a wireless, backlit, quiet keyboard.
    Is there any reason I cannot purchase the bluetooth keyboard of my choice?  Will I need to get a bluetooth USB dongle, or will a non-HP keyboard communicate well with the Envy's onboard bluetooth?
    While I'm asking questions, I have identfied the Logitech K800 keyboard as one that might fit my needs.  Anyone ever use it with an HP desktop system?
    Thanks,

    I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles.  These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML.  To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read.  Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight.  Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database:  the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature.  While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items.  Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight.  Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight.  As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them.  Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
      In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight.  This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items"  (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results.  When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step.  A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed.  Is there a way for Automator to do this?

    Hi,
    With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
    That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
    "I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson  EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
    To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
    I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
    Project specs:
                        - 1920x1080 sq pix  (16:9)
                        - 25 fps
                        - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
    To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video  (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
    So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
    I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
    Please give it a look.
    Thanks,
    Jef

  • For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

    I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
    So what is different in Iphone5?
    After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
    So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
    BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
    So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
    So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

    I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
    I found a fix!!
    On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
    Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
    MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
    Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
    Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
    This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

  • Adobe Support:  Please Read, New Flash Not Working

    Adobe, please read this.  My Flash player is not working and I would be happy to help you troubleshoot.  I have a completely fresh install of Windows XP on a Dell Laptop and the new Flash Player is not working.  I am in the tech field so I will understand most of your requests...Here is my situation.
    The problem began just after Christmas when I returned home from holidays and tried to watch videos, which I do all the time for both work and pleasure.  Videos would not play in a watchable manner...I could hear audio but video was completely choppy and unwatchable.  I researched and researched and implemented many suggestions but to no avail.  Thus, I COMPLETELY rebuilt my system from scratch.  (I needed to do this anyway since it had been 2 years.)
    After the rebuild, on a completely fresh install of XP on a Dell D410 laptop (that was playing all videos just fine a week ago), I installed Firefox, went to youtube which prompted me to install Flash, and then had the exact same problem that I had before the complete reinstall of everything.  There are scarecely any variables here other than the Dell Laptop, a standard Windows XP SP2 build, Firefox and Flash.
    I think I have narrowed this problem down to two things.  One, the new version of Flash.
    It's choppy on youtube AND it's choppy on megavideo, the other place where I watch a lot videos.
    I then tried on IE, which also prompted for the new version of flash, and also had the same problem.  Chrome--same result.
    However, this problem cannot be a universal problem with Flash otherwise nobody would be able to watch any videos onlline.
    This leads me to the second problem, which a complete hypothesis but it seems to be the only thing left:  my Dell laptop.
    I have noticed that some of the other folks with reported problems, who mention their system type, are also using Dell laptops.  Mine is an older d410, but as I said, it was running every video just fine up until a week or so ago when all of the sites forced me to install the new version of Flash.  Most Dell laptops use a common video driver set and this is what is leading me to this conclusion.
    So, could this be a problem with the new Flash and Dell laptops (or systems that use a common video driver)? As a reference point, my "display adapter" says "Mobile Intel (R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family".
    Viewing videos is part of my job (and entertainment) and I cannot do anything right now.
    Someone out there...please hlep.  Adobe, where are you?  We are here providing you with all of the information that you need....

    Thank you for this response.  Apparently, Adobe does not provide support since this is a free product.
    However, Adobe, I need your help.
    In summary, I have a fresh build of Windows XP, SP2 on a Dell D410 and the Flash player does not work.  This affects at least 50% of the sites I visit.  Right now, I simply have the Flash Player uninstalled and can surf the net rapidly.  Once I install it, I am back to a crawl and still cannot affectively watch any videos (they all have extreme video choppiness but the audio is fine).
    I need your help, Adobe.  Everything was working fine until 2 weeks ago.  It is unfair of you to distribute a product like this, force everyone to use it, and have it not work for some of us.
    So far, this free product has cost me hundreds of dollars as a good part of my job is reviewing videos.
    Many have suggested that I buy a new computer to fix the problem.
    Is this really necessary?
    Adobe, I am a man in need...please help me...
    (PS:  I am not the only one.  I have also entered my problem here http://www.google.pl/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=6039f438d085295f&hl=en&fid=6039f43 8d085295f00047c7e3182b625 to no avail.
    And I have done more research than you can imagine.  Here are a number of sites where people are reporting problems with Flash:
    Streaming videos are choppy all the sudden.... - CPUs - CPU-Components How do I resolve choppy/jerky video in Firefox? - YouTube Help Videos are choppy, Audio distorted. - YouTube Help DIYnot.com > Youtube stopped working "JavaScript turned off" youtube is not working - YouTube Help Flash sound stopped working. | Ask MetaFilter Anyone have problems with Youtube freezing? - Software - Non-Gaming - Discussion Forum | Eurogamer YouTube videos freeze after a second - Google Chrome Help My Comments on Video Problem Flash Player 10 memory leak!!   Graphics - Customized computer manufacturer graphics driver is detected AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play FLV files Adobe Forums: Adobe Support: Please Read, New Flash... Adobe Forums: Flash Stopped working
    Obviously, I have still not found an answer to my problem.  Please help me.
    Thx,
    Richard)
