Hi,
Thanks for your reply.  I am running 9.04.  Things worked with 8.10.
Trouble started with 9.04.  Oh well 9.10 is not far away.

Thanks,
Dave

From searching around, i havn't found a solution to this problem anywhere but other people seem to have this problem and it seems to relate back to the fact that i have a AMD64 computer. Reinstalling flash is a quick temporary fix but its always the same flash applications that break it and they break it for every other flash application too. Avoiding them or reinstalling the entire operating system isn't really a realistic way of solving this problem so does anybody have some idea of what i could do to fix this?
