HELP!!<\/p>\n
I am not computer savvy by any means…and know that I do have an issue that is causing me to not watch videos. I keep getting messages to insall Flash Player, I do, but then it never shows up or says trhere is an error. This has been going on for several mnths now. Last night I swas told that maybe it won’t install or function properly because it is conflicting with another program.<\/p>\n
I found this “JMicron jmb38x flash media controller driver” in my progrma list, BUT it is not an original program. Meaning: I bought my laptop in 1999, and this Jmicron program was installed on my laptop in 2011…but not by me for sure.<\/p>\n
I had a b\/f that use to install stuff- without my permission and without my knowldge..this I am sure is on of those such programs he installed.<\/p>\n
I have read this program cannot be installed because it would effect animation and other functions- yet I am not able to watch videos- so is this related to this issue I am having? The timing seems to be about right when I was no longer able to watch videos using Flash Player…that problem started around the same time I now see this program was installed.<\/p>\n
Again, this JMIcron program was not part of my system, my package or any pre-installed programs when I bought my laptop in 1999.<\/p>\n
So,,,,what is this program? Do I really need it?
\nCan I uninstall it?
\nWhat will\/can happen (if anything) to my laptop, and functionality of it and other programs?<\/p>\n
Any other information would be helpful, but please remember I struggle with computer lingo and how to navigate around problems. ( I can only basically do email, searches, research and word doc, upload pictures- thats about it)<\/p>\n
Thanks so much!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":17},"question-category":[52],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9061","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-drivers"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9061"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
