flash.ocx


In windows you may get a frequent error "flash.ocx" file not found like this





You will need to find the flash9.ocx file and copy it as the file flash.ocx. (or download the attached flash.ocx)

To do this:
1. Browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder.
2. Locate the flash9.ocx file and right click it and select copy.
3. Right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste.
4. You will then find you have a file called Copy of Flash9.ocx in the folder.
5. Right click the new file and select rename and rename to flash.ocx

Once complete you should notice your screensaver functioning again and the error long gone.

Software for deciding journal for publication

Rather than racking your brain to decide which journal is most likely to publish your work, the computer program – called Journal/Author Name Estimator or Jane –will take a paper’s title or abstract and tell you where to take it.
