Greetings All,
After much browser browsing (?) and because a lot of people recommend it, I switched to Firefox as my default browser. I'm having loads of fun ;D, but my eldest offspring is complaining :'( as it is not playing some of the web games he's using. Whilst they work in IE and BT Yahoo browser, they're not working in Firefox.
It [Firefox] says it's missing the Shockwave plug-in, so we download and install the shockwave plug-in (from the Adobe web site), restart Ff and the PC but still no joy.
Can anyone out there in Technoland help?
TIA

I dont have Shockwave in FF either but found the download page.
http://www.adobe.com/go/getshockwaveplayer (http://www.adobe.com/go/getshockwaveplayer)
On this page I choose download it prompts me to download a file "Shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe".
Will give this a run and see if it works for me...

I closed down FF main window and the downloads window and installed.
In the Mozzila Firefox\plugins directory a file with shockwave it has appeared and when I found a site with a Shockwave game it is loading up fine. Have checked by right clicking the game/thing and it says "about shockwave player".
