Unhappy Chat rooms using Flash Player freeze the browser

This is complicated, and I hope someone a lot more internet savy can help. When I go to chats that use Flash Player, it locks my browswer (IE 7) on the "Initialization" page. The tech support for the sites, have told me to unload/reload Flash Player, clear out my cache, and reload the browser several times and it should work. I have done that, still no results. Now heres the kicker, I am deployed to a country (Kuwait) that blocks most chat rooms and anything that might be against their religious beliefs. So I use proxies to bypass their blocks. I have several options from the service I am going through now, OpenVPN, SOCK 5, etc. I really don't know where the problem lies with this, as my wife uses these chat rooms and thats how we connect while I have been away the past year, but the government of Kuwait has blocked them. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, Intel Duo Core 2, 3GB of Ram. OS is Vista, and I use IE, Foxfire, Google Chrome for browswers. Same results with other browsers for the chat room. I had Opera, but tunnels wouldnt work with Opera. My ISP is through Kuwait company, through a USB Bandelux 3.5G aircard. Please help, thankyou

Re: Chat rooms using Flash Player freeze the browser

The only way around a block is either a proxy or an illegal hack. I can't help you with that as it would go again the terms of use & I really don't know anything about hacking anyway. As for adobe flash, if you haven't done so, first try uninstalling it through programs and features and then reinstall through adobe's website. Also you could try firefox.
