    Trying to Get rid of Error
    I am getting an error message in a small dialogue box that reads:

    "Could not find the Macromedia Flash"

    This pops up on my scgreen almost constantly and is REALLY annoying!!

    Any ideas on how I can get rid of it??

    Thanks, HeadRanger George in San Francisco

    It could be related to your screensaver; see this thread on the Adobe site.

    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 one "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.

    Hope this works! -- Please rate my answer
