ok, where are the ST Tech Geeks? yesterday, I updated the Adobe reader (and mybe the Adobe flash something or another) ...

Posted by i'm not dead yet ! (aka pacrat) Jul 19 '12, 13:18

on my parents' desktop computer ... i figured that updating the Adobe reader would be a good thing ... right?

so, now, when we try to access our emails (through xfinity / comcast) on the ocmputer, it will not go into emails at all ... i'm also having trouble loading the homepage to at least 1 online game that I play ...

is this just a coincidence? or did something get fracked up on the computer?

the strange thing is that I recently updated the adobe reader on my laptop, but everything seems to be fine on it...

just wondering ....

    - is the email web-based? the Youtube problem sounds to me like a flash issue for sure. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 13:44
    - It feels like more of an internet problem than a computer problem. - Dr.Vermin Jul 19, 13:37 1
      - ok ... thanks ... time to tinker around with things and see what I can come up with -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 19, 13:37
