Read the support pages

If you bothered to read the support pages, you would have found out that Flash and Shockwave can be portable by copying the DLL (I shan't elaborate here, read the support pages). The rest aren't portable.

I would

have to disagree with you there, I've had success by installing the Windows Media Plugin to a local install and copying the DLL files across.

Yes, but
  1. It loads the local copy, unlike Flash which is fully self-contained (binary wise at least (AFAIK))
  2. You need to have WMP (Weapons of Mass Protection (in the form of DRM)) installed on the computer, thanks to #1, which would be a problem in Europe (AFAIR).

2 is wrong

The number 2 is wrong where it says "which would be a problem in Europe" should say "which would be a problem in Europe where is installed Windows XP/Vista N Edition". Hope to have helped. (I really don't know where to download/buy Windows XP/Vista N Edition :P)

Blue is everything.

Point taken

That's what I meant, but I forgot about the different versions Smile

I seem

to remember that the last time I saw a copy of N on sale (online somewhere) it cost the same amount as the standard version, so why anyone would buy it I don't know!
