Here is some more info.The old machine the CD ran on was Win98, no problems. When I attempted to run the CD on this machine the first error I received was that it didn't recognize the browser and that I should upgrade. I'm using IE 6. Can't get any newer than that.
Next I attempted to install Shockwave. The installer couldn't locate the directory and advised it cold complete the installation but it may not run correctly. That's when I exited.
It doesn't surprise me that it runs on Win2k since it is based off of NT 4.0 which supports the CD.
