This website ...
http://badaboo.free.fr/merryxmas.swf

...works perfectly well on my PC at work, but I cannot get it to display on my home PC. The message I get is

Service Unavailable
Apache/ProXad [Dec 3 2006 11:06:17] Server at badaboo.free.fr Port 80

This means nothing at all to me I'm afraid. I googled "badaboo" and the first result mentioned that the file format was Shockwave Flash. My home PC is not only old, but I recently reset it to factory settings as it was riddled with junk, so I went and downloaded/installed Shockwave again. But the website still wont work.

It's just a funny site I want to show my kids.

Does anyone have any suggestions what I need to set/install/configure on my PC to get this to work?

What browser are you using ? I've tried with Firefox - same error but it opens with IE fine. I looks like you haven't got the shockwave plugin for Firefox clicky (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash) .

Hi Minkey,

No...I'm using IE. I think it's version 6.0 but I can check this at home later. Fairly sure the error is something to do with how Shockwave works (or doesn't!) on my PC

Thanks for the help, though. I'll probably replace the PC in the Jan sales anyway.
