Re: Loading plugins into 2.0b1
I've installed both Shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe and install_flash_player.exe from the Adobe site. No luck, CNN (and every other flash page I've tried) still tells me I need to install the plugin. TIA, Avraham Avraham wrote: I just joined the support list, having upgraded (?) to Vista 64-bit and changed from Seamonkey 1 to the 2.0 beta.

Thank you for any help - I'm getting quite frustrated with this so-called 'upgrade' to Vista. There are two different things available at the Adobe site; one is the Flash player you've already installed, and the other is the Shockwave player, which apparently covers a different subset of .swf files.

I've looked at my Bookmarks, and there it is: i.e., in Manage Bookmarks View, it is designated as Personal Toolbar. I've tried designating another bookmarks folder as Personal Toolbar, then going back to my original, but nothing changed. In addition, my Adblock Plus icon is gone (I don't remember where it was), although the program is installed and working. I doubt there's a connection between these two problems. Sorry -- I discovered (rediscovered?) that F1 toggles that toolbar. I must have pressed F1 accidentally. Funny, I couldn't find any way to do/undo this in the Preferences, or anywhere else. I'm also running XP Pro w/SM 1.1.18. The presence or absence of the Personal toolbar, like so many other items, is controlled thru the 'View' menu bar item (first toolbar displayed immediately below the top bar of the open window, starts with 'File', then 'Edit', then 'View'.) Simply click on 'View' then hover over 'Show/hide' on the next menu, the and a cascading menu appears. Turn bars/buttons on or off to suit. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

But that movie on CNN you have link to is no problem. Many newspaper sites has a weird way to code the video pages and sniff for the browser, so with SM you can't get the movies loading. When I complained to my local newspapers about this, they added a text link directly to the file on their video pages. And that is even better to see the video at a 1000 pixels Media Player window than at the 400 pixels embedded file. ;) -- /Arne ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Loading plugins into 2.0b1
I downloaded and ran the uninstallers for both Flash and Shockwave, then ran the installers. It still isn't installed - even on IE8! I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security, and I'm wondering if it hasn't blocked something. It doesn't complain, other than to ask if I really want to run the programs (and yes, I let them run).

Also, at least openSUSE 11.2, from what I hear also Fedora 12, will make SeaMonkey 2 available right from the distributor's set of application packages.
