Weird error from Windows 7 for PureBasic

Post by MachineCode »

Check this out... I don't think it's a bug? It only happened once. PureBasic uses flash.ocx? :shock:
Anyway, I clicked "this program works correctly" to get rid of it. I think my PC is confused. :)

Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.

Flash.ocx was the ActiveX component for old Flash. Later it was Flash8.ocx, Flash9.ocx, etc.

Many people had this problem. The solution was to copy
1.) c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash***.ocx to Flash.ocx in the same directory.
2.) c:\windows\sysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash***.ocx to Flash.ocx in the same directory.

I don't think your problem came from PureBasic. It could have been your Antivirus (Kaspersky?)
or similar programs that run in background when you start PureBasic.

Yeah, that's what I think. I use Avira Antivir, but never had a problem with it. I didn't get any virus alert from it. To be honest, I don't even know why this popped up. I think it happened a little after I quit PureBasic, but not sure. It's one of those things that happens once and you never know why. :)
