Thanks Chris,
I don't use webbie, as I had heard not all programmes were available on
there, so decided not to use this.
Just to add to my original mesage, I have tonight been on the Radio Six
International site at:
www.radiosix.com
On there, there is a listen button or alternatively, you can listen to the
station via realplayer, windows media player or winamp and I think there are
sevearl others too.
I managed to get the realplayer link to work but when I tried the listen
button on the homepage, I once again got that update mesage, or something
along those lines.
When I tried the listen button again, the audio started.
so, do I need to update Adobe as well?
I did get an automatic adobe update mesage recently and whilst I have tended
to struggle with such updates, I think I managed to cary out the update last
time it came up.
Also, how do i know waht programmes use flash.
Thanks again for your response.
Paull.

: Hi Paul,
:
: I have just tried the BBC Radio player from Webbie and had no trouble in
: listening to Roger Day's programme on Radio Kent.
:
: It took a little while to start playing but then ok.
:
: I had a problem in accessing BBC accessible I Player when listening to
: audio deslcribed programmes and had to update my copy of Adobi flash

:
: Also you need to use either Internet Explorer or Firefox for your
: browser for accessing BBC programmes which use flash.
:
: Hope this helps.
