 * Which file, and where, does this code go?
 * Also, I tried removing the jquery register and queue script from my theme’s Functions.
   php, and it didn’t work (theme was still broken).
 * I really want to get Meteor Slides working – I’ve tried DOZENS of slideshows,
   and this is by far the best,
 * Cheers

 * Hi Paul, it depends on the theme, but jQuery is probably added in either the 
   header.php or functions.php file. It could also be a plugin conflict through.
 * What theme are you using, can you post a link to the site you are working on?

 * Hi J
 * Thanks for the quick response!
 * I’m using Reflex theme. The index file is still the old site, but the new site
   can be seen at [http://www.beige.com.au/clients](http://www.beige.com.au/clients)

 * Actually, this is a better link (that other page is mostly html): [http://www.beige.com.au/products/logos/](http://www.beige.com.au/products/logos/)

 * I couldn’t find this theme, but it looks like it might be a commercial theme,
   so I wouldn’t be able to look at the code that is loading all that jQuery. I 
   think they are using something like wp_deregister_script or wp_dequeue_script
   to deactivate WordPress’ copy of jQuery and use a version from Google.
