I have an old Laptop with only 512MB of RAM, prob only 32MB of video RAM.
I can only watch 3-4 minutes A/V until my lappy freezes up! Very disappointing.
Have Flash 11.xxxx
any sw fixes?

Sounds like the problem I had with alsa sound/flash conflict. The following may fix the problem for you (check my post below the one pointed to as well):

Please let me know if the suggestion works, as it did for me.

Hi Boof, if mcewanw idea doesn't sort it there might be overheating?
Video stuff takes loads of processing power and over time fans and heat sinks can get blocked up. Try checking temps and possibly blowing out any dust.
Also you could try running a test prog that uses the video and processor full blast.

Sorry to hear about your small ram.boof wrote:Very disappointing.
Are you not able to make a swap partition? That usually helps a lot in cases like this.

I wonder if this would reduce the hardware loading?...
