| 726012 | 2008-12-05 04:43:00 | Hi folks. Regularly , two or three times a week, I get a warning notice that states- "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem with an add-on and needs to close. The following add-on was running when this problem occurred. Add-on Name : Flash 10a.ocx Company name: Adobe systems Description: Adobe Flash layer." I uninstalled and redownloaded Adobe Flash Player this morning and I have just had the notice appear again. When I click on "okay" to the notice it closes IE and I can restart it with no problems. The only add-on by Adobe Systems activated in IE is Shockwave Flash Object. Could this be the offending culprit?? Any advice as to how I can overcome this problem would be appreciated. Running Vista. Many thanks Smithie |

| 726013 | 2008-12-05 05:15:00 | Not sure where the file are on Vista but what you will need to do is find the flash10a . ocx file and copy it as flash . ocx . To do this, browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder . Locate the flash10a . ocx file and right click it and select copy . Now just right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste . You will then find you have a file called Copy of Flash10a . ocx in the folder . Right click the new file and select rename and change the name to flash . ocx . Once complete, the error should be history . |
