It's pretty much impossible to use the WWW without Adobe plug-ins installed. Most of The Web is built on the shaky foundation that is Flash, so I don't know how anyone can go more than three days without it.
In any case, you want to install Adobe Flash, Shockwave Player, AIR, and you may as well install the Reader as well.
Go to
http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html?promoid=JZEFW
all the links are in a box at the top right of the screen
You have the option of letting the programs update automatically or not. Set it how you like, but keep up on the updates as old versions of Flash are and entry point for hackers.
You should also have Java installed and keep it updated for all the same reasons.

My pc is constantly being slowed down accompanied by the following pop-up:
"Warning: unresponsive plugin.
Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete."
I currently have the Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin which I updated in February.
Any suggestions on how to solve the Shockwave problem?
Go to this address:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html?promoid=KAWQL
On the right hand side you will see DOWNLOADS in a gray black box. Hit each link that applies and let Adobe determine what versions you have installed. If a newer version is available, it will show a “Download now” instruction.
If everything is current but still not working, there may be corrupted files and you will probably have to uninstall Shockwave. After uninstalling and before re-installing, I recommend you use Disk Cleanup for a thorough clean and then disk defrag. (Sometimes doing just these two steps clears up a multitude of saggy delays and other irritates.) While you’re at it, clean up your brower(s) of unnecessary history, etc.
One more thing: You may need to turn off your anti-virus software or instruct it to accept Shockwave. If you have Webroot, which I do, that won’t be easy. I recently bought Serif WebPlus X7 and Webroot flatly refuses to allow installation. I have no solutions for anti-virus discipline problems. Perhaps others here do.
