There could be multiple ways to prevent installation. The procedure for installation depends on the computer OS, the browser, the existence of any third-party software, the configuration and settings, and how the installation request is being triggered. That's why it's hard to pinpoint what's different there, just from knowing that something isn't installing normally. Statistically, one of the most common causes of "it dont work" these days is when IE/Win is used, and the normal background ActiveX update process is triggered, and the existing Control has not yet been unregistered from the system. A system restart will allow those Windows machines to unregister the old control and register the new, producing the expected results on the Player test page: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ For fastest identification of the actual difference there, the "troubleshooting" section of the Player Support docs is still the most efficient way to isolate the cause: http://www.adobe.com/go/15511 jd -- John Dowdell .
