After i log-in, i get an error about missing Xtra files. This is related to shockwave, but i am not getting help from them and i need my VMK. :guilty: If there is anyone out there is DIS-land that is computer savvy (i am dumb in the bucket when it comes to this thing), please will you help me! I've already uninstalled and tried reinstalling, but i get another error.
 
Do you have a firewall or virus program running?
If so they may be blocking some of the files from installing properly
Turn them off and try reinstalling shockwave then.
 
:goodvibes ok thanks, i'll give it a try and repost.

ok this is what happened. Turned off firewall software that i know of. Tried to reinstall and this is what i got .... again.

Directer Player Error: this application requires an Xtra (flash movie) that either does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s).

i don't know where to find the Xtra folder to make sure the Xtra files are in it.

whoo hoo! i kept searching and found someone who had posted the same exact error, and someone else suggested installing a full version as the default installs a slim version. It worked! thank you thank you.
