Pc Problem!!!

[obi]

For some unknown reason, my PC has unasociated it self with Shockwave flash files, I had the latest updates, and anyway, XP can play flash as it is.

Can anyone help?

I have A CD with shockwave ect on, but why would XP just 'lose' it ability to play SWF files???

XP did that to me once too. I never did figure out why.
But I fixed it be reinstalling Macromedia's Flash player, and since you have it on CD, you won't have to go download it.

XP actually did it with a few other file types at different time too. It seemed to like to do it whenever I used Windows Update, I don't know if that's the cause of it for you though. But it was one of the reasons I dumped XP.

heh, it is the only time it has done this, and It has only just begun to be used on the I-net, any connection there?

My bro has got the CD somewhere, I have to wait for him to come back, but I did try downloading it, It downloaded, but the associasion is gone.
Can soneone post there SWF file association here? just the place where it associates from cos I think there is a damaged link somewhere.
