What the crap is an .SWA file?
I Googled, said it was for Shockwave, but it won't play it. What the hell is an SWA file and how do I play it?

.SWA is one of a few 'file types' with multiple meanings.
It could be a shockwave file, or it could be a special type of compressed file (like .ZIP, but much less common) that usually contains some sort of animation file (Usu. Flash or Shockwave)
freeware WinAce should be able to open it if the latter, but watch out becasue it comes with when.U save, a mild malware that set off every spyware detector I had but took HiJackThis to actually get rid of.
