I've been using linux on laptops for a couple of years now. Mostly out of curiosity. Started with Ubuntu on a older Toshiba. Dual booting Mandriva Spring on my Thinkpad T41 now. Only use XP when I have to.

Adobe Flash 9.0 displays menus intended to drop on top of images behind those images. My test site is cbs.com. The portion of the flash menu that isn't behind an image is displayed correctly.

Also, I reinstalled Spring after playing around with OpenSuse11 and my network center wireless indicator on the menu bar displays the connections as some figure above 100%. Anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks in advance. I'm an old DOS guy, edited win.ini and sys.ini files in early windows and haven't lifted the hood much since. Can use the command line, just haven't alot.

Thanks in advance.

I have that same problem (bestbuy and lowes websites are good tests too) on the initial menu, but it seems as though if I go to a different page (ie Computers at bestbuy) then the menu will right itself.

I don't think that this is a flash issue, but a Firefox issue (maybe someone can confirm this) because the same issue happens when I look at sites using Firefox under Vista.

The only thing I can think of to assist with the wireless network applet would be to reinstall it, but I'm not sure what it's called. Perhaps someone else has a better grasp on wireless in Mandriva than I do, though. I've not installed any linux on a laptop for a while now.

That is a bug being addressed in an update. I don't think the update is out yet.
