Install Shockwave macromedia plugin:
http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/513/Shockwave_Installer_Slim.dmg

If you have troubles with the installation do the following:
Download the installer but do not run it yet. Exit all the open browsers.
- Delete /Library/Internet Plugins/NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave file
- Delete //Library/Application Support/Shockwave directory
- Empty the Trash
- Run the installer
- Run the browser

If this helps you enough, let me know and i will post this in the
answer box in order to get the prize.

Thank you.
