Your password you use to login is your password for admin tasks. You are a member of a group named admin and will allow you to use sudo and gksudo to get admin priveledges.

Don't bother with capitals, it's harder to read and achieves nothing.

Can you Click Applications -> Accessories -> terminal

and paste this text and press enter, copy the output and paste it here as an update:

dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf

Thanks.

Can you help with this problem?
