[rfgbvc]

Hi. I have next problem. I installed new WinXP SP3, then i downloaded from
Microsoft and installed last IE7. After this i entered to Adobe site and intall
flash and shockwave players. Now when i work wiht IE7 and open 2-3 tabs and go
from one tab to another, or i close tas - IE freeze and show "Not responding".
I found if i disable "Shockwave Flash Object" in "Manage Add-On" in IE then
browther work fine. I tried to reinstall shockwave player, but it not help. Can
somebody help with this problem? Thanks.

Macromedia muddied the waters with their plugin names - "Shockwave Flash
Object" refers to the Flash plugin, so you should ask your question on a
Flash forum.
