I have the shockwave player plugin loaded on several computers running both Internet Explorer and Netscape. On all of the computers the plugin does not function corrrectly. However I have it installed on several other computers where only Internet Explorere is loaded. On the computers where only Internet Explorer is loaded the plugin performs normally. I prefer Netscape so I really need to some help here. I need to make it so that both browswers support shockwave content. Help!!

If it is only a Netscape problem, then go into About: Plugins and make sure it is loaded. You did not say what version of IE and Netscape that you are running, along with which version of Shockwave player, or OS.

Best way around this is to do a Repair of IE and then attempt to redownload the Player again.

I solved this problem myself and I am posting the solution here so that if anyone else experiences they can fix it without going through the grief I went through.

I will add that I noticed that when Internet Explorer opened it opened a blank window instead of the designated hyperlink in the new window.

I ran the following command from the run command which registered the dll and everything worked normally after that.

Here is the command:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll
