Flash/Shockwave Plugin Seems to Crash Browsers!

I have a problem, that's of course why I'm here. I just today installed, Vector Linux on a PII 233mhz with 160mb ram. The OS is stable, runs well, and is speedy for this older computer while running some GUI version. I can't recall which one. I can find out but it the browsers crash in all the GUI's. I've seem to have narrowed it down to Shockwave/Flash plugins. For some reason, the browsers crash when ever they come upon something flash or shockwave. A trip to candystand.com for example will kill it. Poor little dinosaur. I'm getting sick of having to revive this poor little guy. Anybody have any thoughts on this issue. The weird thing is, it crashed Freebird, Netscape 7, and Mozilla 1.6 all of them.

Any help would be cool.
