Silverlight

Silverlight is Microsoft’s answer to Adobe Flash. It’s a framework that allows developers to add interactive content to their websites, and although Microsoft probably hoped it would replace its competitors, it seems that most developers have decided to stick with Flash.

However, you can end up with problems if the program gets partially removed.

Having a partial Silverlight installation can lead to Windows thinking that Silverlight is installed, but websites and applications that rely on it failing. If this happens on your system, you should ensure that Silverlight is completely removed, and then re-install it as follows: -

1. Click Start > Control Panel > .Programs and Features 2. Click on Add or Remove Programs in XP. 3. Select any entries that mention Silverlight, then click Remove or Uninstall. 4.
