#MY ADOBE SHOCKWAVE PLAYER NOT WORKING FULL#

I haven't tried that because I don't have KernelEx installed (but I may well try it one day). Hmm, can you try running Shockwave Player 11 on a Win98/ME machine with the latest version of KernelEx installed? The previous version is completely removed BTW, I did a normal uninstall, and used Adobe's removal tool, and then I manually purged any remaining files and any remaining references to it in the registry. Until I can get past that hurdle, I can't tell if the Shockwave system really is working or not. There must be one vital piece of the jigsaw missing, but I can't identify what it is.

So why is the system still asking me to download and install the ActiveX control when I visit a Shockwave site? The ActiveX files are present in the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder, and the ActiveX control is listed in the 'Objects' list in the Internet Settings, and appears to be installed correctly. I have tried making the Windows 98 installation exactly the same as the Windows 2000 installation, checking that all the files are present in the correct folders, and copying registry keys from one OS to the other. It just crashes straight away if you try to run it, even in Safe Mode. It appears what's happening is that the installer is trying to run a program called 'swdnld.exe', which will not run on Windows 98. On Opera I just get a blank white area where the plug-in should be (I don't have Firefox installed on Windows 98.)

If I say yes, it runs then immediately crashes. However, if I go the the Adobe test page using IE, the pop-up comes up asking me if I want to install the ActiveX code for Shockwave 11. It seems to install and puts all the necessary files in the right places and writes at least some of the necessary registry keys (I can tell this by comparing with the Windows 2000 installation.)

The standalone full installer seems to work on Windows 98 fine. I cannot get it to work on Windows 98 though! It installed fine and works fine in IE, Opera, and Firefox. I have a dual boot machine with Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows 98SE, and have had no problem getting Shockwave 11 to work on Windows 2000. The posts on the Adobe forum seem to relate mainly to problems with Windows 2000.

I'm having a problem getting this to work too.
