I’m having trouble running a website on my computer. Every time I try to log into [www.cokemusic.com](http://www.cokemusic.com) (I can log in, but there is a certain area of the site that you can go to that opens a separate window [which uses Shockwave] to play the actualy game, where you have a character and can walk around and chat), I get a little exclamation point down in the bottom left hand corner of my IE window that says there is a script error.
To be more specific, the error reads:
Line: 65
Char: 3
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: whatever the URL is
There isn’t something wrong with the Java script on the webpage because I can access the Shockwave game through my other computer at home.
I’ve tried re-installing IE, installing Opera, and even Netscape. None of these seem to work. I found a site that said I should uncheck all of the boxes under the Java section of Internet Options–\> Advanced. I restarted my browser and this still doesn’t work. I have the most up-to-date Flash player, and I have Shockwave…
What’s the freakin deal?? Can anyone help?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Oh, BTW, I’m running XP Professional.

You might want to remove, then reinstall your Flash and Shockwave players in case one of the applets is corrupted. Open IE, go to **Tools|Internet Options|Settings|View Objects**. Right-click **Shockwave Flash Object** and **Shockwave ActiveX Control** and hit **Remove** on each. Reboot, then reinstall them from the links on Macromedia’s [website](http://www.macromedia.com/).
