im gettin errors every so often when i leave my computer....
"could not find the file "swflash.ocx"
i am almost certain it is a screensaver problem... somewhere in the system 32 files but i dont have a clue how to fix it lol :)
thanks for any help :D

an .ocx file is a Visual Basic control file. I guess this file has been used by whoever programmed your screensaver to use Macromedia Flash. I don't have the file on my computer, but I guess you could find it on the web if you looked hard enough.
I guess the easy thing to do is to change the screensaver to a different one.

.... or download it from:

thanks.... but when i download it, where do i put it?
:)

I don't have it either, its an old(er) version of flash.ocx
According to this (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_12727&sliceId=2) it should be:-
Note the path to the file. The path is typically:
C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash on Windows 95, 98 or WinME;
C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash on Windows NT or 2000;
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on Windows XP.
