FREE book on Windoze 8. Computer to run it, extra.

Just for your obviously lacking information, Windows 8 generally
sucks.

Windows 7 is the good one.

I've been happy with 7, although I still have problems with Firefox.


No surprise.



I've never been able to figure out why he has problems with Firefox.
I've used it exclusively for years on XP, Vista, Win 7 and occasionally
on a Win 8 computer. My wife uses it on her iMac as well.
Never had any issues or problems with browsing or viewing videos.

It has to be something in how he has it set up or possibly missing
a required Flash driver.


Don't feel bad, I've not either.

If I have Firefox as my default browser and click on a link here or in Outlook or any
place which requires Firefox to open, then the video will not play. I'll get a Flash
Drive error window. Sometimes that error window will keep popping up until I shut
down the program with Task Manager.

If I have Firefox opened and click on a link or paste a video URL in the window,
everything operates just fine.

So, I use Internet Explorer as the default. But if just using the browser, then I'll
open and use Firefox.

Strange. It may be a setting somewhere, but damn if I can figure it out.



Shockwave plug in. There are two types. You need both. The Firefox
Help website can instruct.

Been there and don't that, but not since I've installed Malwarebytes. That may have
caught a bad line somewhere. Will try it again. Thanks.
