I tried everything and still can't install-is there anexecutable?

[desperate_measures]

I read all the posts in the shockwave forum and tried every suggestion and it
won't install. First, it was an endless loop of always asking me to accept the
active X control, click on the gold bar, etc, back and forth. I tried
accepting all cookies, turning off my firewall, changing my security settings
to downright dangerous, and now there is nothing on the download page but that
blank box and I get one prompt to run an active x control and then nothing. My
time settings are correct, I uninstalled the old version and now I have no
shockwave at all, I have tried everything! The only thing I haven't tried is
uninstalling Flash because I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to reinstall
that either. When I go to the support page there is a link to download an
executable file but that just takes you back to the original installation page
and the same problems.

Please help me if you can! I'm getting gray hairs over this. I know I always
have problems installing shockwave when the new version comes out but I can
never remember how to do it. Why don't you just put a link to a file you can
download to your desktop and install? Shockwave support team, are you there?

Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I found the link
you just posted by doing a google search for "I can't install Shockwave". When
I clicked on your link it didn't work for me but it looks like the same thing.
Here it is again for anyone else:

Are the links wrong on the download page or something?

Your link is the same as mine (except that yours wraps - and breaks - in
my newsreader). I tested my link before I posted it ...
