.swf ending
 

This may not be the correct place to ask this, but . . . .
In the last couple of days I've received (via my OE e-mail, I have v. 6 and
WinXP) two attachments with a .swf ending. Neither one opens. The page
opens, but stays blank and says "Done" at the bottom. What don't I have
that would enable me to open them? TIA

.swf ending
 

Were you expecting these attachments and were they messages sent by someone
you know? If not, delete the messages.

One was from a good friend, some sort of golf game, which she apparently had
opened and played.

Do you see "Installation complete" in the first 2 windows?

What is the size of each attachment or SWF file?

sigh I went to that page, and it downloaded something and said
Installation Complete! Great! (I thought), so tried the two .smf e-mails
again, and still neither one would open. The mini-golf game attachment
said 85 bytes, the other one had the URL only in the body of the e-mail, so
no size. That other one, by the way (I was told) was a silly thing about a
screen cleaner that in reality looks like a dog licking the screen.

Ask you friend to send you links (URLs) to these things instead of
attachments.

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/nolinks.htm

If you get a blank page when you click a link in an e-mail:


1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type:

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

3. Click OK, and then click OK again when you receive the following message:

DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded.


4. If that doesn't fix it, see this article:

http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers/26.html

5. If you are using WinXP try this:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IE...lt_Browser.reg


You can also try this:

Go to Start/run, and type SFC (msconfig for WinXP).
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk' ("Expand File" for WinXP).
Type oleaut32.dll, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file's location, which is
probably in the Win98 (i386 for WinXP) folder of your installation CD-ROM
(typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs (Windows\i386 for
WinXP) folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter C:\Windows\System (C:\Windows\System32
for WinXP), and click OK. System File Checker (or msconfig) looks for the
file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been
successfully extracted'.

You may need to reboot.

Hi Joy,

I do not have an answer to your query.

It seems you are getting the same response when trying to open a .swf file
from the internet or the ones received via email.

This would make me think you have a problem with your flash viewer program
as pointed out by PA Bear.

I am not sure where to you should go to for help, perhaps someone else can
suggest.
