    Hey I have two more questions that even after googling and fiddling with i cant manage to Solve. The first being that Im trying to run a Flash Game known as Dofus but I cant seem to get it working, all it does is redirect me to the Flash site but the site doesnt help solve the problem.

    When I try loading Dofus it gives me the error of, it may be potentionally unsafe and that its trying to access a website with data on it. Anyway to get past this?

    Second question regards NeoOffice. I have .doc files and when I open then it opens up Text Edit so I tell it to open with neooffice and always use Neooffice. The problem is that it only sets "Always use NeoOffice" to that one File and the rest of my .doc's still use Text Edit for the main launch program. Can I change this and how?

    Thanks is Advance.

    Wow, right now I have to download a big file xD

    Anyways, looks like it might be a fun game :)

    I'll get back to you on it.

    Have you checked the preferences for NeoOffice? Go to NeoOffice > Preferences.

    Ok I figured it out, this is what you do.

    Open your dofus.html and it will ask you to go to that site, so hit the settings button, when that site loads and you will see on the side, Global security settings, click that link and now a little flash settings manager will have always ask, allow always, never allow, check allow always, and below use the add file thing and browse to where you saved dofus.html, and than try opening Dofus.html It should now work.

    Try closing out safari entirely, and than open dofus and go to that site by hitting settings.

    It should load some flash, and when it does click the Global Security settings (if it doesn't try clicking that link anyways or just go back to the main managers settings page and tab your way there.

    Game looks pretty neat, but also complicated to understand.

    xbandaidx figured out how to make a .doc file or anytype of file open with the program you specify when he was talking to me online. Its kinda simple, right click the .doc and then hit "get info". A new window should appear, generally appears in the upper left, there is a tab there labled "Open With" open that tab, choose the program and then click I believe is Apply To All, or Change All, and then your all set!
