[wdvltalk] Re: swf file
Now you're trying to frighten me :-o. It is supposed to be a shockwave file, but even though I have downloaded shockwave player 8something it refuses to play. (and yes my anti-virus is up-to-date and the sender is known to me) I can only think it might be that it won't work with IE 5.0? Should I update IE - or are there more hazards with the update?

Hi Joseph, I can only think it might be that it won't work with IE 5.0? Have you tried selecting Internet Explorer in the Open With... dialog box? The Flash player doesn't show up as a separate application, it's a plug-in for IE.

Actually the flash player is a separate application as well as a plug-in. Installing Flash will give you all the necessary plug-ins/players you need. On the other hand, you could try embedding the swf file in an html page and see if it shows up.

Joseph Right off the bat you hazard getting a much better, more standards compliant browser. You also hazard having pages display better and having closer display properties between M$ and every other browser out there. Though, I would hazard a guess that this is not your problem with the .swf file. -Stephen The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not trying to frighten, just trying to caution. I think we all know that headers can be forged by a virus. I would probably try creating a simple html page for it and open the page with your browser.

Thanks to everybody who is offering advice on this. You have advanced my education about plug-ins and the files they may relate to. Jon, associating with IE proved the answer. Paul, I didn't test the embedding in an html page idea, but I'll keep that behind my ear should such a problem arise with another file. The file, I now find came from here http://members.aol.com/bushnbin2/blush.htm - funnyish, but the words are a little indistinct to my ear; Stephen, I did have 5.5 before I reinstalled and I do keep thinking about updating, but then there are those patches, too! Norma, You are right about caution; but I had already contacted the sender, so knew it was ok (or should be - and is). Jan, Thanks for your kind offer; but all is well.
