MIME plugin

[165clifton]

Hi, I'm trying to run a site for uni through Safari and it tells me that safari cannot find the internet plug-in. then it says this...
This page has content of MIME type “application/x-director”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/

Do you want to open the page?

i go to that page and it is no help! please help!
thanks,
Anna

Yes, that's the correct page.
Click 'Agree and Install Now"
That's a little misleading, because the Shockwave software does not Install when you click on that link. It just downloads to your Mac. Find that downloaded file, named "Shockwave_Installer_Slim.dmg", and double-click. A window should open with the actual installer "Shockwave_Installer_Slim.pkg", so double-click on that installer, and complete the installation. Might take longer to read these steps, than the actual install.
And, that's it...
