Food Safety Resources

* These games are .swf (Flash) files which should run in your browser if you have Flash installed. However, IE7 (and sometimes IE6) may just come up with a blank screen instead of running the game. If this happens, you will need to change your browser settings as follows: Click Tools, Internet Options, then the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the security settings and UNCHECK "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" (click to remove the tick), then click OK. You will need to close and reopen your browser, and from then on the games should work. Why increasing the security settings allows more files to run, I have no idea, but I am relieved to have found an answer to this problem. See the Microsoft support articlefor further information.
