How to Fix Flash OCX

1. Download and install Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer if it isn't already installed (see Resources). The Internet Explorer installs the Flash OCX file system-wide; the plug-in for other Web browsers is in a different format.
2. Open the "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" folder by clicking "Start," typing "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" into the search box in the Start menu and pressing "Enter." On older versions of Windows, click "Start," click "Run," type "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" into the Run dialog box and press "Enter."
3. Right-click the "flash9.ocx" file in the Flash folder and click "Copy."
4. Create a copy of the flash9.ocx file by right-clicking an empty space in the folder and clicking "Paste."
5. Right-click the "Copy of Flash9.ocx" file, click "Rename," type "flash.ocx" for the file's name and press "Enter." Third-party screensavers and other programs now find the flash.ocx file where they expect it.
