Trouble installing Shockwave: Question about Rosetta Emulation Mode

Hi, I just got my macbook a few days ago. I can't access Rosetta Stone (language learning program) due to lack of Shockwave. I tried to install it based on the instructions offered on the Shockwave website, but I was unsuccessful. Here are the instructions they offered me:

Rosetta Emulation Mode
______________
1. Quit out of the browser
2. Go to your Applications folder and control-click on the browser application bundle.
3. In the context menu that appears select Get Info.
4. Under the general heading of the info dialog select "Open Using Rosetta."
5. Close out of the Info dialog box.

Sounds simple, but I can't seem to find the "browser application bundle. A finder search yielded nothing. Please help; I need to finish Ch. 2 by next week (when school starts), haha...

macbook 120GB, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

OS X applications are actually bundles. They look like a single file in Finder, but they're actually a folder with a bunch of files inside. These are called bundles.

So, find your browser in you Applications folder, and follow the steps mentioned above.

Thanks for the quick response.

Just to clarify.. when I get into the Applications folder, what do I control-click on?

I'm sorry, I'm a little dull when it comes to this technology stuff. Can anyone spell out what I should be doing in simpler terms?

To enable Rosetta in Safari simply open finder, click on Applications, and then find Safari, hold down the ctrl button on your keyboard and then click Safari, a menu will show up, click "Get Info" near the top, a Safari info window appears, check the box that says, "Open using Rosetta." Thats it! Hope this helps!
