| How to "uninstall" a plugin? |

I notice that my Opera browser lists 2 locations for its
Shockwave Flash plugins. I'd like to get rid of them both
and re-load just one. Is there an "uninstall" or "remove"
procedure for doing that?

Deleting the unwanted np*.dll files is probably the easiest procedure,
unless you can find the entries in the normal Windows uninstaller. See
'Help > About Opera' for the plugin folders Opera looks in. Opera also
looks in other folders where modern plugin installers like Adobe Reader
and Quicktime put the plugin files, best to make sure those versions at
least are up to date and to delete the extra np*.dll files from the
specific browser plugin folders.

Although IE will run Shockwave, IE crashes with an illegal instruction
message after about a minute on the Adobe Home page. Now I'm
wondering if there's some DirectX requirement that my PC lacks.
It has a PII 450MHz CPU with a graphics card circa Jan 1999.
Both Flash and Shockwave run fine with IE on Adobe's player test page,
though.
