I haven't logged in for a while, so maybe its just changes that happened when i was gone? I dont know, but i've tried logging in on vmk through 3 different computers (2 were windows 7 and 1 was windows 8) and the same message about adobe shockwave not being supported keeps popping up.

I can't screenshot, but the message is something a long the lines of : This program requires plug in adobe shockwave (not supported)

Shockwave uses that, so... there's nothing I can do. You can go here to turn it back on: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi but it won't work forever, so you might have to switch to a different browser for MyVMK to work.
If this alone doesn't work, follow the link to install Shockwave again. That's what I had to do.

Chrome still works, though. I still use it. I hate firefox tbh.
It will stop working within the next few weeks, whenever your chrome updates to chrome 45. They are disabling the "-enable-npapi" flag in Chrome 45.

After that, I'd suggest using firefox or safari. Not IE.

IE doesn't work either - died the day after Chrome bit the dust due to shockwave issues. Firefox or MyVMKPal are the ones.

IE still supports shockwave so that'd sound like more of a problem of needing to reinstall or corrupted installation of shockwave. -shrugs IE's a bad browser anyway so.

Wow okay. Hadn't updated my shockwave as I had been able to get on using FF and the problem started shortly after the Chrome problem... just tried IE and it's now working O.o

Learn something new every day LOL. Will stop saying that you can't use IE (if that is a browser you like). Thanks for mentioning that IE does still work.

Hope the OP can now get on.

Still, I'd recommend that if you do choose to use IE for MyVMK, it's the ONLY thing you use IE for. As in - don't go to any other websites. IE has an extremely poor record of supporting modern security and other features.
