Kaylene:
Thanks for the help and suggestions. This is turning out
to be "the problem from hell!" I even called Dell (who I
got the computer from), and they suggested reinstalling
Windows XP Pro because there may have been some corruption
in the original setup that was preventing me from loading
Shockwave. I did that and still no go. They did say too
that known compatability problems exist between some
software programs and Macromedia. I have some 50 programs
loaded to my XP system, so who knows? Trying to find
which one is causing the interference could be like
finding a needle in a haystack! I could not post the
problem to Microsoft direct because my machine was
registered as an oem product, which they don't allow
postings for. All i can do is stick to this listserv
option and hope somebody comes up with an answer.
