According to Microsoft it could be one of two things

This issue can occur in the following situation:

•The page that you are trying to view is a Flash-enabled Web page.

•The Swflash.ocx file is damaged.
See here for more info (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q302461)

If you are using XP then you can always do a system restore - Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. This will take your OS back to a previously known good configuration.

From Google Groups.

Search for the file(swflash.ocx) on your hardrive and when you find it copy it to
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks very much, Phoebus Apollo, I did the system restore and I have been on the computer about an hour and had no error messages. I think the problem has been solved.
Many thanks Hippie
