Re: win vista silverlight (media) HappyAndyK <HappyAndyK.3in1bh[ at ]winvistaclub.com> 11/10/2008 2:21:49 AM Visit 'Microsoft Silverlight: Light Up the Web' (http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/) . If you can see the images, you can bet, its been installed :) It would have been installed in your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight folder. Should you wish to uninstall it, you can always do so through the Control Panel. -- HappyAndyK www.WinVistaClub.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HappyAndyK's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=4 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26005

Just like Flash, you don't need anything in your start menu etc., it plugs in to your browser(s). As to whether or not you need it, that depends on if you use web sites that make use of Silverlight, and whetehr or not they still work properly if you don't hav eit installed. I don't have it installed, and have yet to feel like I'm missing out on anything. -- Zaphod No matter where you go, there you are!
