Congratulations on your new Mac! This should be a happy moment for you. If

it isn't, let's decide what we can do about it.


If it's crashing a lot, consider these items:



1. Get the Flash 4.0a update! Seriously. You need it, if you don't have it

already.


2. Run Flash with extensions off. Test for an extension conflict.


3. Throw away the Flash 4 preferences file.



These three things come to mind immediately as being suspicious causes to

this type of crashing. 


I don't know how proficient you are on your Mac in regards to

troubleshooting, but if you need more instructions on #'s 2 and 3, here is a

TechNote that helps explain this:

If the above don't work, respond to the list and we will do the best we can

to help you figure this out.
