A little computer help here.... [View all]

I have a Mac Powerbook. 10.6.8

When I go to certain sites, and a video starts - even an ad - sometimes the 'puter just freezes, until after about 10 seconds the message "Shockwave video is not responding" After I tell it to shut shockwave down, the page opens and everything is OK.
I don't have an app for Shockwave, so I suspect it's embeded on the page or in the video.
How can I cure this problem.
(Hey.. all you young smartasses... I'm 72, but I've been using a 'puter since you were shitting yourself on a regular basis. Just gimme a straight answer.)

Probably, you just need to update Shockwave. blogslut Oct 2015 #2
