First I'd recommend updating to the latest ATI drivers if possible.  If that does help, see if disabling hardware acceleration makes a difference:

Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?

i have it. i don't see hardware acceleration in it. i can disable it in flash settings for youtube but why should i have too? this should work with it on.

this is the driver i got. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/radeon-prer300-xp.aspx

Those drivers are 7 years old.  It's very possible that they shipped with a bug that wasn't exposed since Flash wasn't using the GPU at that time.  Were you able to get previous versions of Flash Player working with your system?

yeah. i just got the driver yesterday and fotget if i was useing hardware acceleration or not before though.
