Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have the exact same problem :(If I click on this http://www.shirleycrabtree.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/anim4.swfit works fine but if I click on the self same file sitting in My Documents no joy.If I go on the web to find the program that will open it,it is obviously recognised as a shockwave flash file...so why won't windows see it like that.I can't see Shockwave anywhere on my system,however it is in add/remove software list.I removed it,went to shockwave to install it again,and the procedure took all of half a second.(It should take a few minutes.)Actually between all this messing around I really ought to be restarting windows :blush: I'm off to play again :(Edit. I found it in C:\WINDOWS\System32\macromed but there's nothing really there :(Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 This any help? http://www.macromedia.com/support/shockwav...layerfaq.htm#xpAnother thing is, do you have Spywareblaster installed? If so, check that the Flash Killer is not operating (SWB -> Tools -> Flash Killer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
