Problems with Flash ads

I recently bought a FS195VP and everything works just fine except Flash ads in the browser. It doesnt matter which browser I use, the result is the same.

everything seems to run in slow motion (mouse, typing etc) when an ad is visible. I've never encountered this problem before, on any computer.

Does anyone here know whats wrong? What should I do?

Apparently VAIOs have the most problem with Flash, I wonder what it is?

The thing is that my other vaio (VGN-A195EP) doesnt have any problems at all... its kinda strange, and I dont like this at all since this one wasnt exactly free.

perhaps its my famous bad luck 😕

Have you checked your system out for Ad/Spyware?

I havent, but I bought it yesterday and have only used it for a few hours, and only online with Firefox. So im quite confused.

If it's new and doesn't have much on it I'd do a system restore, then you know it's 100% how you set it up.

now im bloody angry with my stupid computer...
i've updated the gfx drivers, the bios and i've installed the new firmware for the optical drive. I've also tried with different browsers without any results at all 😞

i ended up doind a complete system restore, but that didnt do any good either. im going crazy here.

I've come to notice that it seems like its only the "heavy" flash ads thats causing problems, those with alot of animations in them. other flash ads works just fine, or almost fine.

has someone got any clues at all?
