You might also try a firefox add-on that spoofs the user agent. I use User Agent Switcher to spoof firefox or IE on Windows. See if that takes care of it. I have to do that for ADP at work so I can do my timesheet without going over to Windows.<br>
<br>Maybe that's not the problem, but some sites refuse to function just because you're using Linux.<br><br clear="all">Tim Champion<br><a href="mailto:timchampion@gmail.com">timchampion@gmail.com</a><br>

Yep, I am using Linux Mint in this instance to keep it simple. Apparently, when I go to the sites they want, it does ask for the shockwave plugin. I know it is an older standard, but that is what the websites are asking for. So far, the only solutions I am finding are to use Wine with Windows Firefox to make this work because they seem to be only developing Flash for Linux, but not Shockwave.<br>

I'll keep looking into it. :) Just thought maybe you all had run across this one before maybe.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
