macromedia players flash: Dear all,
I just installed an updat for the flash player and now I get a pop up error
'could not find the file "flash.ocx" about every 15 minutes. When I checked if
my flash player works, everything seems ok.
any suggestions on how to get rid of the error pop ups?

Thanks

Hi there,

I am assuming this is for Windows XP IE?

Please check this folder on your machine and let me know what files are listed:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

The latest player (version 9.0.28.0) is a file named 'Flash9b.ocx'. If you see
'Flash.ocx' this indicates that you have an older version also installed on
your machine.

Instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash Player:

5. What files are left in this folder? C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
