Apps quit unexpectedly says thread 0 crash (?) tried all the recommended fixesd

Question

Hi everyone - I know I'm on borrowed time with my 10 year old Mac mini but recently after installing new Camino and most recent Flash plugin that is compatible with 10.4.11 I started to have all apps quit unexpectedly, and so far I noticed it always happens right after trying to access Screen Saver in System Preferences or when I try to play a file in iTunes. I already repaired disk permissions and used disk repair from installer CD. I'm not able to copy the reports for some reason but they all say "thread 0 crash EXC.BAD.INSTRUCTION" The iTunes crash shows " libmathCommon.Adylib" in the reports. Anyone who attempts to help will get points from me - Thanks so much!!!

Answer 1

Hve you tried:
Uninstalling Camino
Repairing permissions
Are you sure you installed the correct version of Flash Player?
You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
