Hi guys,

What have i done now?

I tried to change my screensaver today, and it would not run because there was a flash.ocx file missing??

Can anyone help with that for me please???

Thank you.

Flash.ocx is the Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX control. Try installing the latest Flash player.

I got this problem recently after installing the latest Macromedia Flash Payer.

The message means that your screen saver is using Macromedia Flash Player to display itself.

In the end I couldnt solve mine so I ran a system restore and rolled back to the previouse version of Flash Player

Alternatively you could use another screensaver that doesnt need flash to run

I've just installed this update on my computer at work and am getting the same error message. How would I run a system restore and go back to the previous version?

Start, run, then type msconfig then hit enter then click on Launch System restore.

At a guess I reckon it would seeing as its full of previous dates and says do you wish to restore your PC to an earlier time

Yes just select a date previous to the install of the flash update and your PC will roll back to that date its upto you to remember when it was installed.

Thanks. The update was installed this morning so shouldn't be a problem.
