Just IE. I had JUST bought the thing secondhand, and could have brought it back to the guy to tinker with it but it would have been a hassle. On MINE(XP) I use firefox, so I while I was tinkering with theirs I downloaded it for their computer. So I thought I would try to download shockwave again, and used firefox browser and for some reason everything was hunky dory

I kinda think that there is an adobe issue with Windows 2000 and shockwave....
But what do I know? lol Like I said I am not savvy with this stuff.
