Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.4.144 Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.3.133
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
