Looping banner

OK this is driving me nuts - every time you open a new page you have to newly stop this from newly playing and looping. I don't mind it being there, but I had a Shockwave fatal error when trying to set this to not play tonight. I know I can suppress it using popup software and the like, what I would like is for it NOT to play by default - you can have a button saying "drive me round the twist with something akin to Chinese water torture by pressing this button - only if you have agood psychologist", but please, I beg of you admins, stop the playing and looping.

thanks
