Need Help With Flash 10e.ocx Problem!!!

Hello,  I've found my way to this forum due to a persistent problem I am having.  This problem according to the error pop up screen relates to adobe, specifically - Flash 10e.ocx.

I have read the other threads but my issue seems to be different to the ones listed here.  I have however taken some of the advice given but still having the same issues.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled adobe and also Java but still the issue persists. I have also rebooted an number of times as well.

Basically what is happening, I am updating text in the back end of a website which I am able to do for about 10 minutes or so then the screen appears telling me that Flash 10e.ocx has encountered a problem with IE and needs to close.  IE the closes and needs to be reopened and the same thing continues.  Sometimes I don't even get the warning and IE just closes automatically.

I am running Vista and have bever had this issue before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very confused and annoyed!!!

    Hi,

    I have the same problem.

    Running WinXP SP3 and IE8.

    When I try to play a flash game, it doesn't last long before it crashes (IE) with an error mentionning flash10e.ocx.

    Shockware flash object is enabled in the manage add-ons window.

    In the folder you asked to list, there are :

    Flash10e.ocx

    FlashUtil10e.exe

    install.log

    uninstall_activeX.exe

    Hi OCG, Since it is IE that is closing, check in your manage add ons (all add ons) and find Shockwave Flash Object...

    ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx  and make sure it is enabled.  This is the ActiveX Control that must be installed and the latest version is 10.0.45.2, as it works with the Flash Player files.

    If you have that, then we would want to check your Flash files to see what is installed. Go go C:\Windows\System32\

    Macromed\Flash.   Right click on the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.

    Thanks,

    Dear eidnolb,

    Thank you very much for all the info.  I checked in my add ons and all I see in the list is something that says "Shockwave flash object" and it is enabled.  I checked all the different lists and couldn't find anything that specifically said it was the Flash 10....  Anyhoo, I then followed the next set of your instructions and this is what was in the flash folder: Flash103.ocx ActiveX control, Install text document, FlashUtil10e & uninstall Active X.  Those are the only things in the folder.  Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again

    Hi, In your Flash folder if the Flash103.ocx was just a typo and you meant Flash10e.ocx then your files are correct.

    However, I am somewhat puzzled that the add on in all add ons is not complete. It should list as Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx... enabled.

    If this SFO is not installed then that would account for the error you are receiving. This .ocx is an ActiveX Control, it is installed in the Flash files, so the error is not pointing to that. The only thing listed is Shockwave Flash Object and enabled? Nothing else?

    What Anti-Virus/Spyware are you using and does it contain a Firewall? If it doesn't do you use any Firewall other than

    the Windows Firewall?

    What IE version?

    Thanks,
