Have you ever experience leaving your computer idle which resulted to loading up your screensaver and when you get back a message will pop up telling you the error “could not find flash.ocx”? I experience this error for quite sometime and finally got a solution for it.
The message is the result of an error loading your screensaver looking for flash.ocx. As you can see, Adobe changed the filename of the well known flash.ocx into flash9f.ocx or flash9.ocx. So everytime your screensaver tries to load due to idle status it cannot find the file flash.ocx because there is no file with that filename.
Please follow the solution below to stop the annoying “could not find flash.ocx” error
1. Go to My Computer –> Drive C –> Windows Folder –> System32 folder –> Macromed folder –> flash folder
2. Create a copy of the file flash9f.ocx or flash9.ocx in to the same folder.
3. Rename the file with flash.ocx
4. Test your screensaver.
5. Finish
Now you can use your computer free from the annoying “could not find flash.ocx” error message
