I saw this earlier on the net.

You may have overwritten the Intel-specific Flash 8 plugin with the PowerPC version.

Two solutions:

1. PROBABLY BEST: http://discussions.apple.com/thread....6105&tstart=15.

2. Run Safari using Rosetta emulation. It will probably be slower, but Flash will work. Go to your Applications folder. Click the Safari icon once. Click the File menu and then click Get Info (or press Apple-key then 'I'). Click the box that says "Open Using Rosetta".
