Hello and welcome.

It could simply be that that version of OS X and Safari are too old to be supported on many websites.

-You could try updating Adobe Flash
-You could download and install Google Chrome and/or Firefox and see if the issue persists.

everything is updated as far as possible.
cant use firefox with this OS... says "Your system doesn't meet therequirements to run Firefox."
cant use chrome either... says "For Mac OS X 10.6 or later"

Sorry about that, I forgot it may be hard to track down the correct versions.

You can get the last Mac OS X Leopard-compatible version of these browsers from OldApps.com:
Firefox 17.0.6
Camino 2.1.2

Old versions of Google Chrome aren't readily available anywhere. If these browsers don't solve the issue, then we may have to look into different troubleshooting steps. Also, what version of Adobe Flash are you running?

Your machine is capable of running OS 10.7.5 (Lion), which would give you access to available versions of any of the browsers mentioned. But, you would need to first upgrade your machine to the last version of Snow Leopard, OS 10.6.8. The only way to do that is to purchase it, and it costs $19.99 US from the Apple Store.
