Antoine,

This has been discussed a handful of times (by myself for one)... so if 
the link below does not help, try the archives.  I was not having 
trouble... just looking for instructions.  Many were nice enough to 
offer assistance.  Here is a link to the set of instructions that 
ultimately set me on the right road.

So.. the solution for you may be to install things differently then you 
previously did.  Its my understanding that it seems to work well for 
many people.  Some seem to have eternal troubles.

I am presently experimenting with it on a test machine, and have had 
good results.  I don't need flash... but my wife and kids do 
(playhousedisney.com, leapfrog.com, etc).  It seems to work well on 
those, and most others I have found.
