    Yeah uninstalled, restart, installed, restart, nothing works. It's been like this for so long! Neopet's shockwave games stopped working after awhile on my XP computer, and hasn't worked ever since I got my vista laptop.

    I suppose you are using the latest version..

    if yes then try an older version..you can get it here..

    Disable auto updates from adobe as it will update to latest version if you install older one..

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_shockwave/

    On the right hand side of the page you'll see older versions..

    Clean your registry after uninstalling the current version..

    You are using firefox right!!

    And what is the error message(if any)displayed..

    some games require some shockwave plugin that doesn't work on FF

    so you have to switch to IE to play them

    Screw that. I hate IE.
    I'll try downgrading. I know it worked before.

    I've had the same issue ever since I got my new laptop, meaning I downloaded a new version of Shockwave.

    Switching to IE (which no one should be using in the first place) doesn't work for me.

    So, I will go try downoading an older version of Shockwave like suggested above.

    I'll edit with whether or not it works for me.

    Well, downloading an older version (I went with 11.0.3.472, should I try a different one?) did not work.

    I still can't play games like Hannah and the Pirate Caves and, like Harlow, Gourmet Club Bowls.

    I will trying downloading Chrome next. That is, if it works with Window 7.

    [edit]
    Nope, Google Chrome wouldn't allow me to play Shockwave games on Neopets either. :(
