Thanks.

The BAD news is: OS 10.5 is the LAST "Universal Binary" (U/B) OS Mac released (It runs on both PPC and Intel processors). That means Flash Player for OS 10.5 MUST be a Universal Binary app. The problem with that is that even Apple doesn't support U/B software anymore. Not since September 2009, when the ended ALL support for PowerPC machines as well.  Adobe continued development of Flash Player (U/B) until November 2010, which was longer than most other software developers.

The GOOD news is: Because you have an Intel Mac, you can upgrade to OS 10.6.8 through Apple for just $20, and THAT will open the door to a whole bunch of possibilities as far as software is concerned, including running the latest Flash Player.
