I have been having problems with apps and games like War of Mercinaries on facebook and pureplay poker since installing Fash Player 11. It says my internet connection could be slow. I have tried Firefox and chrome, upgraded to comcast Blast, Active X is off, mixed content is enabled. I installed windows xp on a computer in the garage and without installing updates it work out there. i have also unistalled IE 11 and tried IE9. Any other suggestions ? Thanks!

Intel Pentium 2.70

Windows Ultimate Service Pack 1

Internet explorer 11

Adobe Flash Player 11.9

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. Uninstalling IE11 doesn't help because the faulty code remains.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.

    Firefox (from Mozilla)

    Opera (from Opera)

    Safari (from Apple)

    Chrome (from Google)

    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
