Next, I went to Yahoo Answers to get help, because nothing was working. Unless I can manually update whichever software I want.) (There were no updates, so that didn't work.

They told me to Update my Windows software by going to Windows Update. They told me to try to use a different browser (Internet Explorer), and see if the game will work. They told me to visit this link ( ), and to follow the steps.ģ. I don't know if that had something to do with it.)Ģ. But, I wanted to clear my browsing data (cache/cookies, etc.), and then it stop working again, for some reason. They told me to uninstall, then reinstall both Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Shockwave Player. Here are the things Shockwave Customer Support told me to do:ġ. I get the advertisement, and then after the screen goes blank. Or I'll get the 'Connecting.' screen, and then a message saying: 'Service is down. I'll get to the 'Connect.' screen, then nothing happens, and I'm stuck on that screen. This is what happens when I try to load Jigsaw Party/or Monkey Quest: I don't know why I can't load games on Shockwave. They've basically gave up on me, and told me there's nothing they can do (in so many words). Some games I can load ( Super Text Twist®, Daily Jigsaw, (just to name a few), and then some I can't load ( JigsawParty, Monkey Quest). I'm new to this site, so I hope I'm posting this in the right section. Now run the native version of firefox and test the shockwave player by visting this site. Now open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and paste rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/pluginreg.dat Swallow(firefox.exe) fill stream: wine 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' -chrome '$file' Press Alt + F2 and type:Īdd the following two lines to the end of the file: application/x-director: dir,dcr,dxr,cst,cct,cxt,w3d,fgd,swa: Macromedia Director file Now you need to configure mozplugger to use the Windows version of Firefox for Shockwave files.

Again, follow the on-screen instructions, and when the plugin has installed and is working, you may close Firefox.

Now go to a web site that requires Shockwave, and choose to get the missing plugin. Now download and install the Windows version of Firefox. You can use mozplugger(a program that lets you 'embed' other programs in your web browser.) along with wine and windows version of firefoxįirst, install the wine and mozplugger packages (from the software center). The Shockwave player is only available for Windows.
