Also, having Rosetta enabled causes web pages running on Java to not work. If you have installed the latest update of shockwave 11 you will need to untick/disable Rosetta as sw 11 is supposed to have resolved the reason Rosetta was needed in the first place.

Is it possible that this file is not what I think it is and I really don't have Shockwave installed as part of the default that came with the machine? I noticed it did say it was a PPC.

At some point, one of the Safari updates has either caused a bug or broke Shockwave.
