The main installer doesn't work properly, and the alternate installer that I found (only after reading a ton of messages) doesn't install properly. The shockwave player forums at Adobe.com contain nothing more than talk about this issue that apparently has been around since March of this year.

As someone who develops all my web applications in Shockwave, I want to see some heads roll...

I've always had a problem with Shockwave. Even before Adobe took over. Every time Shockwave was updated and you needed to install the new version: the installer would get caught in a loop, and keep trying to install over and over again. This happened on both of my computers. I can't remember right now . . . but I had to do something really stupid in order to get it to stop doing that.

I've also had problems with Flash, sometimes. Again, when you needed to update. You'd go through the process, and sometimes web sites would insist that you still haven't updated. It would take more than one install to get it working right.

I've never had any major problems with Premiere, aside from compatibility issues. It crashes sometimes, but I have to usually really beat the tar out of it to crash it.

Acrobat on the other hand, has been and probably always will be a mega resource hog. I don't think I had a computer it ran well on until I upgraded to Pentium III (it had been out since Pentium I, I'm pretty sure)

I really could care less if I run into trouble with their development tools, since there's usually workarounds for everything, or just make sure you save your work often.

But this is a player that has been working near flawless for many years and now requires a big time tweak-freak to get it to work and even then only if you're lucky. I can't expect my visitors to spend hours trying to make it work just so they can run my apps.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill
