This is such a specific request, the chances of encountering someone here with knowledge about your issue are pretty remote. I would advise using one of the Xubuntu support channels.

Thanks don't worry about it, i have solved the problem and everything is running great including Flash Player, don't ask me how i done it ,all i know i have downloaded restricted pakages from Ubuntu and went in the update software ticked some items the reloaded unloaded, my finguers hurt of some much tempering with it,the only thing i know i'm an happy camper
i'm happy that tried so many distros and ended up with the better( for me of course) an easier and windows very alike for even easier to navigate.
thanks for trying to help appreciate.

I'm glad everything is now working for you. Often, after installing any Linux distro, a system update will fix things that didn't work initially. A good example is mobile broadband. Often the provider information needs updating before your modem and account details can be recognized.
