FLASH9F.OCX (continually crashes browser)

The above error message has been occurring increasingly often lately as my
browser crashes. Below are the versions of operating system and browser. Any
ideas how I can resolve these crashes while still running my older system ?

Win 98 Sp2
IE 6.0.2800.1106

Thanks in advance, Brad

Upon visiting the first sight, I was given the following information:

Your Player Version: WIN 9,0,124,0
Debug Player: No
Video Capable: Yes
Audio Capable: Yes
Local File I/O Enabled: Yes

The following was also written above the information given above:

The SWF movie below displays the specific version of the Adobe Flash Player
currently installed and active in your browser. For Flash Player 6 or later,
it also tests to see if the debug or shipping version of Flash Player is
installed.

Nothing seemed to happen, so I went to the second site suggest in your
reply. It did successfully install a new version. I'll see if this has
eliminated the problem over the next week, and let you know if I've been
successful.

Thanks for your valuable assistance

It's acting up again when I open web pages with ads that are more than just
simple pictures on them. Nothing but crashes time after time. Is there any
way I can roll back to an older version of flashplayer, and also avoid the
crashes when I visit pages with the types of ads mentioned above ?

Flash v10.x is not supported in Win98 (which doesn't necessarily mean it
won't work in Win98). See

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/ I don't even meet
the specs for flashplayer as indicated on this link
