Enable this all and disable the rest

stop using a pirated Windows my dear friend

sorry if you are not.



edit: see if the bitcomet agent comes as a part of bitdefender antivirus then enable

but if it comes with bittorrent or uttorrent or Azures disable it.

for flash related errors :::



* Run Reginout scan for active-x, file associations and other registry errors largely behind such crashes. http://www.filetransit.com/download.php?id=79029



* Try to uninstall the current flash player version. (Read this official guide to uninstall flash plugin: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html





* Use official uninstaller tool to remove all flash elements from your computer.



* After completing the above task download flash player 9 instead of the latest version. However, latest version is preferred. for latest version visit this link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Sometimes there are intricate browser flash conflicts and changing the versions is often helpful.



* if you are having problems while installing flash then read this stuff:

* Update your sound drivers if possible since the videos may simply crash or freeze because of the corrupted or missing drivers.



1) Open Device Manager



2) Find the sound-card device



3) Remember the name of the device



4) Uninstall it.



5) After doing this restart your system and update the drivers if they are not automatically updated.

Do a search on removing unneeded plugins, and google is one of them. You don't need, also, the Java Deployment Toolkit. Unless you are developing Java stuff, then you need it. Otherwise, get rid of it. The google update you don't need in Firefox.
