well then perhaps it is something to do with using actionscript 3.0
i have vista and when i try to run flash MX 2004 or earlier it crashes, but flash CS3 is totally fine, maybe your problem is just like this, only backwards... program compatibility issues and all that, since your computer was made much earlier than any version of flash that supports actionscript 3.0, it could be that you just need to stick with actionscript 2.0 untill you get a new PC!
