Vista Program?

Urgent.
Internet explorer has encountered a problem with an ‘add on’.
Flash.ocx says ‘a solution cannot be found but to go to start all programs, accessories, , system tools, Internet Explorer and to enable add ons from here. Still will not work.
No option from this point.
Help required for Daughter, Dad doesn’t know.

    Hi im Karl i think i have a good solution to your issue it should be fixed now ok apparently there are some third-party screen savers out there that use Macromedia’s Flash Player to render the images when the screen saver kicks in.
    A third-party screen saver is something that you installed yourself and should not be confused with the built in screen saver that is part of your computer’s operating system.
    These screen savers are coded to look for the file flash.ocx and recent version of Macromedia’s Flash application now name the same file flash9.ocx or even flash9a.ocx.
    The reason you get this error message is that the screen saver is looking for the old file name.
    Personally, I don’t really care for third-party screen savers. I find them to be problematic and sometimes even detrimental the efficiency of a computer. I just use the built in screen saver to protect my display.
    To fix this problem, you have two options. The first one would be to simply uninstall the screen saver. Once that is done the error will go away.
    The second option is for those of you who simply cannot bear to part with your screen saver and is a bit more involved.
    What you will need to do is find the flash9.ocx file and copy it as flash.ocx.
    To do this, browse to the C:WindowsSystem32MacromedFlash folder. Locate the flash9.ocx file and right click it and select copy. Now just right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste. You will then find you have a file called Copy of Flash9.ocx in the folder. Right click the new file and select rename and change the name to flash.ocx.
    Once complete, the error should be history.
    But i think i am thinking of the error on the desktop not in IE 7 on Vista sorry this is the best i can offer.

    I am also having the same error messages, although microsoft says to install the latest version of flash player, but it still have the same problem after that.
    Whenever I close the IE7, it stop responding and restarts.
    It is a compatibility issue with this and that.
    No help untill now from either sides.
