SWFlash.ocx unable to register itself in the System Registry

Hi Olliedv,
have you installed a newer version of the macromedia flash player in your computer?
If that is the case uninstall it
then install your software
make sure that it works
then re install the newest version (if you feel inclined to do so)


Cheers!

Thans for the tip :)

I uninstalled Flash Player but the error still comes up =(

First make sure you have the latest flash installed.

Check and make sure you have this file on your computer.
It should be here.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and make sure the flash.ocx file is there.

Then in the run dialog type this

RegSvr32 C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx

Then try and reinstall Encarta

I installed the latest version and the only files similar to that are Flash8.ocx and Flash9.ocx

Hello Olliedv.

By the sounds of it... it seems that its the software itself, rather than the flash player. By software i am refering to your Encarta software.

Im guessing that it just doesnt understand the XP registary, so it cant install.

This isnt realy an awnser, but i would advise you to buy a new version.

If it says on the CD box "compatible with WIndows 95", then it wont work with XP.

sorry,
Tom

I was thinking that but then I remembered having it installed on this machine about a year ago. Hmm...

Success!

Thanks so much The_Professional =D  

If amazingly I ever meet you, I'll buy you a beer =)

Thanks once again.

Glad I could help :)
