An Add-on for this website failed to run.
« on: October 12, 2011, 08:00:18 PM »
Hi Guys and gals. For about the last month when I'm on certain sites with IE 8 I get the above message. I've tried to change the security settings but nothing seems to work to get rid of these messages. Any ideas?

What add-on is it? Have you tried going to Tools->Manage Add Ons and reinstalling the offending add-on?

I disabled ShockWave Flash Object and it's gone. Now I only get a message once in a while that this has been disabled. Patio, I was even getting this on these sites.

Gotcha...Thanx for the heads up...
I just suspected it may have been the site instead of the browser...
