Shockwave Player 11.5 cannot detect keypress?

[Guest GraphiteCube]

Hello, I just bought a new computer and installed Vista Business (32-bit) on it. Today when I visit Miniclip and tried to play a 3D game (which requires Shockwave player to play the content), it seems it couldn't detect any keypress; when I pressed the arrow keys, nothing happened, or the car (I was playing a racing game) would move just like crazy and hit on the wall.

Anybody experience similar problems? I just couldn't control anything in content shown by Shockwave player.

I am using IE 8.

Thank you.

In fact if there are not much Shockwave content on the web, I will install Flash player only.

I asked the same question in another forum, and someone gave me working solutions:

SOLVED: Tools---Internet Options --- Security tab --- uncheck protected mode.

or

Tools---Internet Options --- Security tab --- click -trusted sites - click sites - uncheck require server - click add (Make sure you also have unchecked protected mode for this zone)

This will disable it for only the site you add.

This solved the problem but obviously will weakens your security. I would recommend you only disable this when you go to sites you trust that have this problem. Tested with IE8 on Windows 7 RC. I also think it will work with Vista and IE 7.

Good Luck!

I checked it, it does respond to the keys but not very good at all, it might be the game because other shockwave games like habbo etc work perfectly for me.
