Just ignore it. Everything's illegal these days. Don't use Firefox, go with IE, I think it's much better.

What version of Firefox are you using? It is at 1.5 now. If you haven't got that it's worth upgrading. If that doesn't solve it you may need to re-install Flash.
Firefox is worth using just for tabbed browsing - it's going to take M$ 9 months more to catch up.

Just like the man says :wink:
Unfortunately, you'll have to go to firefox.com to get 1.5. With 1.5 tho' there's automatic upgrades.

You need to uninstall Shockwave from
Start-----My Computer-----Add/Remove programmes
download a new version then re-install.

Yeah, we have. I don't have Media Player installed ;)
But, I suspect it's the white background one with the guy talking and smashing the computer, which, admittedly, is very funny. But clearly produced by a dunce if they can't understand a Mac :P

Ah, right, I got it now.
If it's a PC with a problem it's the software that's crap; if it's a Mac it's the user. Cute :wink:

Yes, get a MAC...I have one too..
Although my MAC is a bit old I get error message from Shockwave Flash when I visit a site that has flash. It says to allocate more memory to IE...
I am getting a new one when I get back to the UK. They don't sell 'em here!
