Looking at your plugins, it seems that you have gnash installed instead
of gnash. Am I correct?

So does this mean, you've removed ubuntu?

Gnash is a FOSS attempt at Flash. It currently is unstable, and looking at your pluginreg.dat.txt, it seems as if you've installed gnash instead of flash.

  yes I had no choice - because my second harddrive failed and I need my pc
with both monitors. I still have the ubuntu live cd and can use it at
any time. I like it but cant use certain drivers for printers ect.
because they don't exist.

I understand your situation. Could you retest this problem? but this time, installing the adobe flash plugin instead of the gnash plugin when prompted? You should receive the prompt whenever you visit a site with flash content - myspace for example.

I am sorry but I cannot Test at this point. I am not sure how. I have
since rebuilt my system with Windows and have no real interest in linux now.
