There is a button for OK and nothing else. I recently upgraded to flash 9 so I could run a game, and have been receiving the error ever since. I've tried uninstalling and restarting, then re-installing and restarting. I've looked at websites all over the internet hoping to find some sort of fix but couldn't find many other people having the same issue, and couldn't find an answer. I found a registry fix but running that did not work. I even tried installing flash 8, and it still was giving me the error. I found that the error was showing up every five minutes and only when the computer was idle, never when I was doing something. It also seemed to disable my screensaver, which I assume uses flash. My screensaver, apparently, is the program trying to access this and failing. Sure enough, going into my screensaver options and chosing to preview this particular screensaver showed me the error. I deleted and re-installed this screensaver (from an official website, it's the stargate atlantis official screensaver) and still am receiving the error. Changing my default screensaver to a windows XP one works fine. Now that I've worked around it, it's not a big issue but I'd still like to know if anyone knows what could be wrong. Could there be something wrong with my version of flash, could it be corrupted somehow, or is it the actual screensaver? Could the screensaver be looking for something in an earlier flash version and not playing well with flash9? I just don't want this to become a problem in the future, and I hope it helps a few out who are having this issue as well. 18819Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final.

OCX files, such as swflash.ocx, are COM (Component Object Model) interface technologies often referred to as an ActiveX control. ActiveX controls are tiny programs, sometimes called "add-ons", that are used on websites and in software applications.ActiveX controls are often encountered when using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. If you open a web page embedded with a video http://www.solvusoft.com/en/files/missing-not-registered/ocx/windows/adobe-systems-incorporated/flash-5-0/swflash-ocx/ in the Window Media (.WMV) file format, your web browser uses a built-in ActiveX control that allows you to view the video directly on the web page, rather than having to load that file separately in Windows Media Player.

I have put the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\. I have deleted Macromedia flash and reinstalled. I have updated Macromedia flash. Nothing seems to work. I don't know why it keeps looking for this. Should I copy it to another folder? This problem has been going on for months. I use my computer for presentations and it is very annoying.

Type the following exactly as it appears here (or copy and paste it): regsvr32 c:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx Click OK. See if that fixes it.
