Mozilla Seamonkey Problem Installing Shockwave Flash Player

[bevills1]

Trying to load Pandora radio at www.pandora.com it says Shockwave Flash Player plugin is needed for Seamonkey version 1.1.17 and gives link to get the plugin. Seamonkey shows it doesn't know what to do with it. I saved plugin to Desktop and executed it from there, and it shows install complete. However, Seamonkey continues to indicate the plugin is needed when trying to go to Pandora radio. Does anybody know how to get Seamonkey to install the plugin or recognize it's installed to enable Pandora radio to work in Seamonkey?

if you can find where these plugins were installed, tyr copying them to your seamonkey plugins folder.

Adobe Macromedia Shockwave Flash Player plugins
GetFlash.exe - 9,0,16,0
NPSWF32.dll - 9,0,16,0

Adobe Macromedia Player plugins

I tried copying and pasting into plugins folder which was also suggested by others found in some Google search results, but that doesn't work and results in site only partially loading when it tries to load. I found quite a large number of folks with the same problem many of which were using Firefox. Searching www.mozilla.org I find it's a known issue for Mozilla browsers and some WinXP systems require running the Shockwave install in Win2k or WinNT mode, but that alone didn't resolve the problem.

However, I finally found a solution, but it was almost like having to perform voodoo to get it to work only by experimenting with different ideas. I have a Win2k/WinXP dual boot system and had trouble getting Shockwave installed on both. I finally got it to work in Win2k by uninstalling and reinstalling Seamonkey which didn't work until I created a new user profile, used the new profile with default settings with no popup blocking, no cookie restrictions, etc., and that worked for Win2k.

I followed those same steps for WinXP, but it still didn't work even when run in Win2k mode. From that point I decided to try download to plugins folder after using new profile following Seamonkey reinstall and run in Win2k mode from the plugins folder, and that did the trick. This was a very tedious and aggravating process, and I hope it may help others who have this problem.
