I've uninstalled and re-installed the full version of SW several times and
always get the same error.
I don't know how to check the xtras folder, or what to look for, or how to fix
it if I find it. Any help?
Shockwave 10 worked perfectly. Can I re-install it?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I miss playing these old
games.
If this is the case you need to completely uninstall Shockwave11 and try to
track down a way to install the old version 10 plugin from scratch (full not
slim).
Then re-visit the site and re-install the Xtra.
Hopefully someone else can direct you to a link for the old plugin, I don't
have one to hand.
Hope that might help.

I don't sorry. Have you tried Adobe's tech support?
The important thing here is to make sure that when you run the program
"unwise.exe" to uninstall the old shockwave that you make sure that all
programs are turned off. This means your web browser should be closed and also
the icon for shockwave helper shoudl not be in your tray.
I used a great little program called Process Explorer to turn just this kinda
stuff off. You can get it free at
http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/3000-2094_4-10223605.html
Once you close everything and THEN run the uninstaller UNWISE.EXE located in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11 everything will fully delete and you
can then run the installer again. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ is where it
can be downloaded.
When you reinstall it will reload SWHELPER in your tray. Now you can go back
to your favorite game and when it loads SWHELPER will download any parts
(xtras) which are needed to run that game.
Hope this helps everyone who is having problems.
