Windows Vista - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I got a new computer on Sunday and have not been able to log on since then. I always get a shockwave error. I was wondering if it had something to do with Windows Vista. Is anyone else using this operating system?

Have you tried reinstalling Shockwave?

Yeah, did you make sure you reinstalled Adobe Shockwave (or have the latest version downloaded)? It's very important that you get the latest. My only experience with Vista was a bit of a test drive at Office Depot, so I may not be much of help to you.

My copy of Vista hasn't arrived yet, but I agree that making sure everything is up to date, your browser and everything, would be the first thing to try.

I downloaded both the latest version of shockwave and flash players. I still get a server error. Thanks for the suggestions. I will keep trying to log on.
