    Hey guy's I have a couple of issues that has occurred since I reformatted my m11x R1.

    One of the major things is every time I restart my laptop or shut it down and turn it back on I constantly get this shockwave crash. I can't stream anything or use anything related to flash for a good 30 minutes to an hour, after waiting an hour it would magically work again. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.

    Also, my m11x is hooked up to my TV and I never had an issue before where when my laptop would go to sleep and when I turn it on it would display on my TV not my LCD. Well now, when my laptop goes to sleep and when I wake it up it'll go to LCD and not the TV. I was also hoping someone could help me solve these issues!

    There is more than one vid driver avail.... which one are you using? In the meantime for the crash try disabling the hardware acceleration.
