I tried it on two different machines at work both pc's with windows XP and IE.
No problems with the javascript detection in firefox only the vbscript one for
the activeX one.
I havent' change anything and the error occurs when I have installed on of the
3 player versions above (using Flash Plugin Switcher for this ) and goes
through the Macromedia flash detection code on the html page.
It seems like these 3 player versions somehow is incompatible with the
following line in the VBScript
swControl.GetVariable("$version")
When I comment it out the error stops but then I don't get the full version of
course which I need.
Cheers
Martin

flashdetectioncodewheninstalled player is either 6.0.22,6.0.23 and 6.0.29 ?
hmm, ive never experienced that martin, you have obviously tried it with
different swfs and are sure VB is crashing your browser?
It sounds to me like its the FP crashing ad ot the script, have you edited
the standard output code at all? Have you tried it on different machines?
What player are you upgrading from?
