    *sad face*
    I can't seem to get the shockwave games to work in either browser and it is driving me wacky!!!!
    I am getting the following error message in IE
    [​IMG]

    And in FF nothing happens - just a grey screen of death :/

    Anyone have any tips - I apologize if there is already a current thread about this, but I didn't see one when I looked quickly...and yes my Shockwave plugin is enabled in FF...sigh​

    yeah Hannah & the pirate caves and Gourmet Club bowls don't work for me at all
    Dice escape sort of works but there is so much lag I am getting angry and want to hit it >:/
    Slorgs I think I already have that av so I am not going to fuss with it
    but I really want H&tpc and GCB!

    Google Chrome. Besides the browser I'm mainly on in general nowadays, Shockwave works fine - it's the browser I always use when getting the avatars for Attack of the Slorgs, Hannah and the Pirate Caves, Dice Escape, and Gourmet Club Bowl.

    (And I've been having the same problem with Shockwave games on IE+FF since I came back from hiatus...wow, a year and a half ago now; the easiest solution is to just use Chrome.)

    Why not try Chrome?

    An alternative solution would be to uninstall all your shockwave plugins and reinstalling.

    I'd suggest downloading the newest version and keeping up to date.
    If you have done so already, un-installing and then re-installing it.
