The website tells me it is installed. I can see it in Add remove programs. When I go to run a file with it windows asks what program I want to use. When I select let me choose shockwave playet is not there to select.
I go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ where it will check your flash & shockwave players & automatically offer an upgrade if one is needed.
