Q: What is Macromedia Flash Player 6 and why do I need it?

Q: What do I do if I see a large white or gray rectangle on the page?

A: The Flash Player may not be properly installed on your computer. If you need help determining whether or not the Flash Player is working correctly, visit the “Test Macromedia Shockwave and Flash Players” Web site.

Q: What if I’ve properly installed the Flash Player but it still doesn't work?
