For some reason if I use the flash player for IE or Firefox, games will load but then break somewhere however if I use Chrome everything works.

I really don't want to be stuck using Chrome. Help?

Yes. In fact I believe switching to the most recent one is what broke it.

Yep tried that already. IE and firefox have separate flash players so it is highly unlikely it would break in 2 different installs.

have you tried resetting firefox?

I one time had issues due to an add-on I added but never used. After removing the add-on's it cleared the issue I was having.

Just a suggestion.

Please try a "Privacy" window in FireFox, and see if it works. Additionally, please go here and post all the things that you see on the page here.

That didn't work either. I suspect there is some kind of problem with my local saves. In case I wasn't clear about the issue, Flash player works on my computer but only when playing games there will be a point where it just stops me from going on. Usually it's a "start" button. The flash MMOs work fine.

Err the bottom part cut off.
Also I am not running adblock. It must be detecting leftover files from before.

I am compelled to re-post off the basis that when you uninstall/re-install there are still saved settings, resetting them is slightly bit different. However if that doesn't work another alternative is by using the likeness.

IE variation

Firefox variation

I have been using ice for awhile now and haven't had any problems.

Could you try uninstalling and re-installing your browser? Seems like it should be working for you, and it could be residue from your ad blocker.

When I uninstalled I ran Ccleaner and I deleted the folders in AppData.

I fixed it after uninstalling flash and then wiping the flash folders left in AppData.

Makes sense. IE and Firefox run out of the same flash cookies or local shared objects. (pretty sure that's how it is0. Must have been something up with that.
