Re: FLASH: MAJOR flash problem

[John Olson]

Kevin,


Are you running OS 9.0.4? If not..  it is worth it, it solves some 

stability problems with OS 9.


fyi - I am running Flash 4.0a on my Powerbook G3/500 running OS 9.0.4 

with no problems at all.  I dont have 5 yet for my Mac.. only PC.


Are you running any 3rd party extensions?  I would start by booting 

up with only the OS 9 base extensions..  If it still does it.. try 

reinstalling OS 9.


Feel free to email me off list for further help (if needed)



-John
