Flash game wont load, a hardware problem?

[Euthor]

Tech guys, I got a puzzle for you...

I'm playing this facebook game called Resort World, it's kinda like a sim resort game. I can play on it using my old PC (XP SP3, P4 2.4ghz with Asus board and GF2 400MX, 512 RAM). But it won't run in the new PC I bought 2 weeks ago (Win7, Intel i5 650 in an Intel board and GT220 vid card, 3gig RAM). The game would just keep on reloading again and again. I'm using the latest Firefox and Chrome browsers.

Since I have the CD installers for the old and new computers, I got rid of Win7 in the new PC and do a clean install XP with SP3, same CD I use installing my old one. I installed the corresponding drivers and the latest Firefox, Chrome and flash. The result is still the same, the game won't load fully, it just keeps on reloading forever. I don't even have an anti-virus installed yet.

I'm not using a router. I constantly moving the Smartbro RJ 45 connector from one to the other to connect online.

In an Software sense, both old and new pc's should be the same by now. But why would that game won't load on the new computer? Is this a hardware thingie?

(hey, I'm a bisaya, so type in bisaya if you like. I just have to type mine in english cuz it's a lot faster )

try upgrading your flash player sir...

you can download at adobe.com

this is very tricky that it caught my attention. operating-system and pretty much software-wise, they have the same configuration at this point. what i would like to know is, have you tested with a different flash-based game?

i'm not really familiar with FB games... but could it be a server timeout failure? or a server problem? is this a streamline game? try some other time...

Use other port for internet connection, instead of using RJ-45 just use a 3g USB modem like tattoo and plug-it sa smartbro.... it could be your built in LAN. Have you tried watching Videos from youtube or any streaming sites either music or video?

I did install the latest Flash straight from Adobe's site. Still I downloaded and installed regilsolon's link above. Restarted. Played the game... same result

Last weekend I brought this new PC with me going home to my parents house. I used Smart Plug-it at first, but Plug-it had only GPRS signal, so I ended up buying Globe Tattoo. It has HSDPA signal inside the house and can open webpages. But still I can't play that same game. Same reloading issue. I had my 7 yr old nephew play that game in his account, he can't play either. But he was able to play other flash games in Facebook.

Resort World is only around 6 months old. Since I started playing it never had a server problem. I can always connect it using my old PC.

It doesn't have problem playing Video's in YouTube either. It seems like it's a software issue, but it's not since my old computer can play it. If you guys have facebook, pls do try playing that game. It's a cool game and see also if you got that same problem as mine. It's the only game I play in Facebook, so imagine how disappointing it is not able to play it in a new computer.
