Solving Windows 7 sluggish PC
Submitted by Spore on January 20, 2010 - 19:08.
If you find that the browser and even the rest of your system gets all chokey and sluggish when running the game under Windows 7 (any browser, it seems), I can clear up the problem by doing this:
CTRL-ALT-DEL
Start Task Manager
Kill the proces called FlashUtil10d.exe
It also helps to get rid of other pointless "helper" processes, like AppleMobileDevice, ItunesHelper, GoogleToolbarNotifier, etc...
After this, FlashUtil10d.exe will re-appear, but the sluggish PC behaviour will be totally gone.
Just a follow up to this
Just a follow up to this problem and solution:
It seems that there is a long delay after killing the process, before the game window will "catch" up and behave normally with no sluggishness. (About 10 to 40 seconds or more).
There is a possibility that this sluggishness isnt related to the processes mentioned above at all, and that it clears up on its own after some time period.
We will investigate further and post our findings.
I can has 7?
I will be getting a new computer next Saturday/Sunday, and it will have Windows 7 preinstalled. I would be glad to help test further when that comes.
