Adobe flash .233 broke my HTPC setup.

Stupid adobe. Now flash player, at least the IE8 activex version, if it is running, my computer won't shut the monitor off anymore.

This is really annoying, and I hope that adobe fixes this. I listen to internet radio on my HTPC when I am falling asleep. I have the monitor (connected via HDMI) set to turn off after some time. So that when I fall asleep, eventually, the monitor (and audio, since it's over HDMI) will shut off. It works very conveniently for me.

STUPID ADOBE!!!!

They broke Hulu desktop for me several versions back making it a jittery mess. I've just stopped updating my HTPC since I have it at a point where everything works now.
