Tommy Lim is still having a problem:
Sorry if you thought I had all of the listed items installed at one
time.  That was not the case except for one trial.

I initially tried them *individually* before trying them in combination
and crash-wise the best result I had was no crash but flash app is
blank.  I also been doing the cleanups between trials, removing
everything that got added before trying something else.

Frets on Fire runs fine, as does the Second Life client which is a heavy
OpenGL graphics load.

The site you gave asked me to install but it did not auto install.  I
was asked to do so manually.  Apparently there is a slightly newer Flash
10 available, which I tried just now, but the crashes still happen.  I'm
using the new Flash 10 right now, alone.

This is a log of my most detailed series of attempts at fixing this
problem.  My reference apps are: Typing Maniac is a facebook game I use
because of guaranteed no-run or crash and  Word Challenge which can
sometimes run.  I used the IMDB Transformers2 page as a webpage that
always crashes as of the time I was testing.
