Works OK for me but I do not have Win 98

Try clearing your internet cache and trying again.

Cache cleared, still can't run it. Get the loading page, zooms up to halfway then stops dead.  [mad]

Also closed all running applications

I have just run right through it with no problem, having accessed it from the site.

Is your XP PC on the same internet connection as your 98 machine, I am just wondering if you have one of the ISP's which still caches pages.

Do you know what version of the Flash Plug in you have loaded? I have the latest version as I have recently re-loaded my PC.

Is anyone one else having this problem?

Both machines using same connection via router. ISP BTinternet.com

Flash Plugin 9,0,28,0.

All programs run fine apart from 'V3 Using Flags and Icons'.

Sorry I don't know. It works fine both at home and in work on all the machines I have tried it on.

I can only think for some reason BT has cached the file and you are getting the damaged on loaded.

Downloaded to an old PC at work, running 98se, get the same problem.

The PC took some finding, all other machine blocked the site.

Same as Tim when running from Website
