Greetings Kavehe, Welcome to TSF!

Perhaps you might like to try this workaround...

Adobe Flash ‘fix’

Go Start > Run > type in the box C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

Now copy the Flash9.ocx file and then pasted it back in the same directory.
You will have created Copy of Flash9.ocx; rename it to Flash.ocx..
This effectively will give you two files; Flash.ocx and Flash9.ocx, both the same file; although with a different name, in the same directory.

Give this a try and post back with the results.

Kind Regards,
