Installing the Adobe Shockwave plug-in

After downloading the Shockwave installer, it is recommended that you close Opera before installing it.

  1. Download Shockwave Player (the full installer for Netscape) from the Adobe site.
  2. Run the downloaded installer and follow the instructions. If Opera is not listed in the installer, click the "Browse" button and locate your the "Program\Plugins" folder in your Opera installation folder, by default C:\Program Files\Opera\Program\Plugins.

The necessary file, np32dsw.dll, should now be present in the Program\Plugins directory in your Opera installation directory. To verify that it was correctly installed go to Tools > Advanced > Plug-ins in Opera and look for the Shockwave Player there.
