hey dudes ! after several tries viewing flash pages on win98 with Firefox 3.6.3 and IE6, the plugins were installed but made Firefox and IE crash when trying to view some flash animation. Finally, I downloaded Opera 10.10 for win98 and Flash works ! Even after rebooting to be sure Flash : 10.0.45.2 KernelEx : 4.5.0.2 I'm new to Opera but that browser saved me from changing of OS
