If you got an error message that says there has been a problem in the
Flash9.ocx, here is how to fix things...
The possible solutions are:
1) update your video drivers. For instance, with a video card with NVIDIA
graphical processor, you can use this address:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp Then see if you get the error again
2) If the problem is still there, you'll have to come back to an earlier
version of the flash player. Here is how it is supposed to be done when
everything goes well:
uninstall Flash Player 9 using:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/8/uninstall_flash_play er.exe
then re-install Flash Player 8 or 7 using:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp8_archive. zip
3) if the uninstallation fails, here is the manual way to do achieve a similar
result but that should always work:
Go in the following folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Change the name of Flash9.ocx file into _Flash9.ocx (be sure IE is closed
first)
Dowload this zipped file:
http://www.robostrike.com/pub/utils/Flash9.zip unzip the file and place it in the above folder,
name it Flash9.ocx (the file is in fact a copy of Flash8a.ocx and this way, it
will be used instead of the bugged version 9)
Restart Internet Explorer => congratulation you are now back in version 8 and
everything should run perfectly fine!
As for my computer: problem solved!
