HI,

Doubt it's a hardware issue. Uninstall your current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.

Uninstall Flash

Install the most recent version of Flash here.

Adobe advises repairing permissions when troubleshooting Flash.

Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Also, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.

~ (Tilde) represents your home folder

Relaunch Safari.

Carolyn 🙂
