Re: Some websites not detecting Flash

Hi Kathryn

Try pasting these 2 lines into notepad (between the stars) and save the file with a .vbs extension

'***************************************************
set a = createobject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
msgbox "ok"
'*****************************************************

Click on the newly created file, and see if it pops up an ok message, or you get an error message about not being able to create an object
