Browsers:
A browser is a software program that lets you surf the Web. In fact, you're using one right now! However, you may still need to upgrade to a newer browser if you want the ultimate nick.com experience. If you're not running Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 7.0 or higher, then it's time to download and install the latest update:

ActiveX Objects/Plug-ins:
To help your browser run games and display animations, each time you upgrade your browser, you'll also need to download and install these ActiveX Objects (plug-ins): Macromedia® Shockwave™ version 8.5 or better and the Flash™ Player version 6 (MX) or better.

Click here to go to Macromedia for the latest Flash and Shockwave plug-ins. Look for the links "Download Flash Player" and "Download Shockwave Player."
