Computers do what you tell them to. :-) RMB on the objects, open up the
Properties notebook, click on the Broswer tab and tell the object to use
Mozilla. If you want to use Mozilla for all URL objects, click on help
and read about how the Set Default button works.

This is either because you don't have the Flash plugin correctly installed
for Mozilla or the Flash you are trying to view is newer than Flash5 can
handle.

You need

9-30-02 20:24 816,733 3,110 npswf2.dll

in plugins and you need:

11-04-04 10:53 60,797 0 ipluginw.dll

in components.

See

<http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/Warpzilla.html>

for the details.

>EZirc also calls ns4.61 to display the file with all the commands, etc.
>I checked the EZirc ini file and both of the installation command files
>and found no reference to ns4.61.

See above

>Is Flash 5 obsolete?

No, but since the DLL is almost 3 years and newer Flash versions exist, it
is definitely dated.

Regards,

Steven
