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 the file "swflash.ocx"] Error
Message every few minutes even when not connected to the internet and
without having an internet browser open.

I then did a search of this newsgroup and 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).

But this didn't help and I still receive the error message all the time.

I then tried uninstalling Shockwave first, then rebooting and reinstalling.
Still I keep getting this stupid error message.

It's making me crazy I tell you!

Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Regards,
John E. Golden
