I have that issue as well, but on top of that flash is also locking up my computer. If youtube is open too long (seems to happen with both Opera and Chrome) then my computer will lock up, and i have to pull the plug just to restart it. This is becoming quite a pain.

Seeing as how flash is installed in Win8RP be default if you went and installed flash again on your own that could be why you're having issues now. Something broke it seems. I've seen posts with people who have issues even in chrome as well.

If Flash is locking up your computer it is likely the same issue I had. Update your nVidia display drivers to 301.42. Go with the Win7 driver, not the Win8 driver which was for the old Consumer Preview.

This driver will fix your system freezes.

Not particularly relevant, but 4gig RAM, E8400 CPU @ 3ghz, ATI HD5770. couple of TB of HD space.

Nope, didn't reinstall flash. I'm well aware that it's pre-installed.

ATI HD5770 using Win8CP driver. No nVidia here. AFAIK. there aren't any issues with the Win8 ATI drivers...

TBH, I'm not that concerned by the crashing... Things are still beta after all; they'll settle down. It's the flash dropping from full screen mode that's getting up my nose. :p

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
