Thanks Jason. I believe the problems are from video/graphics and software that I no longer use, I don't think I use anyway. hmmmm
I have tried using newer ver graphics/video software/drivers and not much better but some. I have some flickering at some points where the cursor pointer is on the flashing cursor and it does an uncontroling flash.(very fast) if that makes any sense.
The big problem is to get Firefox running without all the Flash Crashes. I cannot open more that one window ,that uses Flash, at a time without Flash crashing. It is very frustrating.
I have run several malware and virus scans and nothing shows up. I keep Java and Flash updated. With each update I make sure to run RA to remove the old one. May have to totally remove Firefox and all profile, preferences etc and just reinstall it all including Flash and Java. I really don't want to do that but it may be the most thorough fix. So many of friends are having the same problem with Firefox Flash crashes.
I have tried uninstalling Flash and Java and reinstalling it but that does not help.
