I used to be able to watch flash stuff in Safari, for example a few days ago TUAW.com had a flash video of some steve jobs bloopers, and I could play it in Safari. Now that I have installed Dreamweaver 8, Fireworks 8, and all the other macromedia web apps, Safari pops up with a message saying

"Safari cannot find internet plugin, The page “The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."

How can I make it so Safari will play the flash again?

Cheers

Have you tried reinstalling Flash Player 8?

It seems like you have overwritten the Intel-version of the Flash-plug-in that came with your Mac with the PowerPC-version. Reinstall the Intel-version from the System-DVD with the help of Pacifist.
