Ok...I am just a mom trying to download this shockwave so my kid can play VMK. It is claiming this same thing you all are claiming to be missing. MasterMax in past forum postings says this is the solve all to the problems. Ok....I don't know what this is or how to find this....or where to go. I looked up my search files...I don't have this. I tried to find this on the internet...can't find this. I need more details on how to do this. I understand the cut and paste part. I can do that. But I need to know where to go to get to windows folder and where do I put this in regards to my own system. I need everyone to tell me in more basic terms. I have a windows 2000 pro....and this is the only thing keeping shockwave from downloading and my kid playing just a fun game....anyone can help me without making me feel stupid? :)

Hi Shawna.. Your problem is specific to win 2000, and it seems you know your work around pretty well. Though I cant help you cause I'm on xp myself, but I think if you can private message one of the official adobe support forum member here (you will know it by seeing their avatar or membership status) then they will surely try their best to help you with your problem. Best of luck :)

I have been dying to switch to Vista from many days now... but every now and then I get to see / read something like this which just makes me rethink...
Earlier we had win 98 with its dreaded blue screen now we have vista with its incompatibility with almost all software....

Are there any guides available on adobe which will help us in such small issues?

1. you will have to start the computer in safemode

2. open my computer and go to c:/windows/SysWOW64
there is a folder Macromed and cut and paste it to

3. c:/windows/system 32 THAT'S ALL!! restart and boot to normal and run the shockwave setup and install on both IE and FF

Enjoy
