could not find "swflash.ocx" error message after Installing SP2

[John E. Golden]

Hello,

I just got the CD for XP SP2 in the mail and installed it on my Compaq
Celeron 2.5 GHz Desktop.

I then started getting the [could not find "swflash.ocx"] Error Message
quite often.

I then id a search of this newsgroup and thought I learned that I should
reinstall the Shockwave software. I downloaded it from the Macromedia
webpage and installed it into both MS Explorer and Mozilla 1.7 ( I mostly
use Mozilla 1.7).

I'm still getting the same Error Message though.

Any other suggestions?

Reards,

Thanks, but I had already checked many of those posts. I, like some of
those other people have reinstalled Macromedia flash and shockwave, but
this has not helped and I still receive the message all the time.....even
when I'm not connected to the internet and don't have a browser (IE 6.0 or
Mozilla 1.7) open.

It's making me crazy I tell you!
