I keep receiving the message:

Warning: Unresponsive plugin Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or continue to see if the plugin will complete.

I cannot seem to get rid of it or correct it. Help. Thank you.

Thank you! I did check "Do Not Show Me This Again." and so far so good; but what does it mean that it will "hang" if I choose this option? Do I need to watch for or be concerned about something else?

Thanks again, fingers crossed!

I have updated Shockwave and it did not work. I have checked "Do not show me this again" and that has not worked. I'm just about ready to start using Google Chrome, if I can't get this issued fixed!
