:disgust;

I installed (and have uninstalled and reinstalled several times) flash player
and started getting a "Could not find the Macromedia Flash" error message. My
IT department hasn't been able to help me and the Adobe folks were useless.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?

Hi,
I kept getting the same message, and after lots of searching it seems that the
latest version of flash is not compatible with the screensaver I was using. I
swiched to a different one and the message stopped popping up. I'm on XP.
If you go in and test your screensaver, you will see if the message pops up,
try to change to a different one and it should be gone!
Good luck - this message was driving me crazy but now it's gone :o)

I found the solution on another site. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
and copy "Flash9.ocx" and then paste it back in the same directory. This will
create a "Copy of Flash9.ocx" which you should rename "Flash.ocx." (Thus you
will have "Flash.ocx" and "Flash9.ocx", both the same file with a different
name in the same directory.) My screensaver now works and I no longer get the
error message.
