With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Crap! Does not work with IE7 or on computers running Windowx XP 64, Windows 2003, or Windows Vista. All of my computers fall into that group.
I'm about to install XP on a Virtual Machine. Why didn't they have IE7 support *before* they started this promotional.

If you're running IE7, search your folders for an older version of the file IEXPLORE.EXE. Chances are, you still have IE6 on your system and can simply load it by clicking the older version of this file.

Just how would the supply of free videos be depleted? Is AOL in danger of running out of bits?

AOL is crap, they could offer free movies year round and I would still never use their service. I hope they go bankrupt.

After finding a computer that still has Internet Explorer 6 (no easy task), I jumped through all the hoops until I realized they were going to require a credit card for a free movie. What idiots! I wonder if ANYONE downloaded a movie? Hopefully not.
