[cw-discuss] Linux/Windows Flash player conflict

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi Matt,

>From your KDE/GNOME menu, click the "CrossOver", "Configuration".

Select the bottle which your flash is installed (I assume win98) and
click "configure".

Go to the "plugin" section and simply disale any plugin (make sure the
small box is white).

Click OK, click Exit, restart your Firefox.

In your firefox, type the address:  about:plugins

Go down in the page to the "Shockwave Flash", and make sure that the
line below is something like "libflashplayer.so" and version 7 or 9.
If it is, then you should be able to use the native Linux flash
plugin.

Hope this helps,

Hetz
