Adobe Flash plugin not working properly.

I'm going to ad that I'm having that same problems getting video to play. I've been messing with my fresh install for 2 days now, and have just gotten some video working, but not all. When I go to Youtube, some video plays while some doesn't.

I had a heck of a time getting Lubuntu to install on this computer, I had to remove the slide show before the install would finish without freezing. I mention this because I also installed Lubuntu using the same cd on my daughter's laptop a few weeks ago, and both the installation and video worked without any problem.
uname -a shows that I have:

uname -a
Linux larry-DA236A-ABA-6420NX-NA910 3.2.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:17:36 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

and I think that may be what's causing some problems. Here's lscpu:

lscpu

I think the AMD cpu doesn't play well with whatever video requires. I also see that every guide says to ad software sources to the Software Center, but the Lubuntu Software Center doesn't have the "edit" tab that every guide shows for selecting and editing software sources.
