Hi Eleanor,

Adobe flash - whether as macromedia flash or ShockWave Flash - appears 
to be more widely in use than Silverlight.  Silverlight is in amongst 
the Microsoft Updates, if you go to the Windows update site, or at 
www.microsoft.com/

I generally just install a Flash player when i'm prompted that a certain 
content I'm interested in needs it to play or display properly.  I had 
to remove ShockWave Flash, as it caused numbers to appear at the top of 
pages in pdf files; though whether this was just an artifact of JAWS 
screen-reading or something else I don't know.  I believe I haven't got 
Silverlight.

If you google those terms, you'll come up with some useful and possibly 
informsative results.

Flor or someone would you mind sending me the direct link to Silverlight 
please? Can flash player be installed as well as Silverlight or would 
they clash?

Hi,

Silverlight is the Microsoft equivalent of Adobe Flash.

Now, there is another player called Winamp which (I believe) if you're
into Internet audio/radio and video, you'd do well to have.  (It plays
file types that other players won't.)  It can be got from
www.winamp.com/
or from the Download A Player link at

www.acbradio.org/

and possibly from
www.whitestick.co.uk
