Flash and OS X problem solved Jim Isaac writes: "When I upgraded my system to Mac OS X, whenever I visited harrypotter.com, I kept getting the page telling me to install Flash. Flash was properly installed and working well on other sites, including Macromedia's. Looking in the Volume Name/Library/Internet Plug-Ins I saw Shockwave Flash NP-PPC was installed. A friend suggest I look in the my User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder. Shockwave Flash NP-PPC was not there. When I copied it to my User plug-ins folder, the harrypotter.com loaded just fine."
