hey guys, this is my first time using this site
a buddy of mine downloaded shockwave on my computer quite a while back. i have just been dealing with it and thought i would forever have to. i just heard about this site and would appreciate any help you can give me. here is what it says:
Illegal operation in Plug-In
The pulg in performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart Firefox

i have done a search of my computer and cant find it anywhere, so i dont know how to delete/uninstall it. ???
thanks

The easiest way to uninstall Shockwave is probably to go to Control Panel>>Add/Remove Programs (in the Start Menu). It'll show up on the list as "Adobe Shockwave Player" if it's on there. Just hit the "Change/Remove" button and uninstall it. The problem you're having is likely because Adobe doesn't claim to support Firefox with it's newest version of Shockwave.

Run disc clean up, click to view downloaded programme files, look for shockwave there

keith,
that didnt work. my 'downloaded program file' was empty. the pop up says, "illegal plug in" at the top.

many people have been experiencing the same problem with firefox lately, there are a bunch of solutions but those solutions only work for a while before it reverst to its old form
