Which version of Flash are you running? Make sure it's 4.0a.

I remember having issues when using 4.0.

Also, depending on you video card (some ATI models) you may require the

OpenGL drivers to be installed.


I run Flash no problem on a G4 with 256 MB (36 MB to Flash) under System

9.04 on ATI Rage Pro and Orion cards.


Hope this helps.
