Hi,

I have some games in excel & powerpoint. They were working perfectly fine till yesterday.

But today when I am trying to open them. they are not opening. When opening excel with flash game, there is big black square box. When opening power point with flash game, it is giving error "Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. They might mot be registered on this computer"

Flash objects on by browser when surfing site are working perfectly fine. i have also re-installed fresh flash from adobe site, but no success.

Sounds like they timebombed the program...so it will only work for so many days, until a given date, or until so many uses. Try deleting the game file and re-downloading it. If that still doesn't work...you probably have a registry file somewhere that is keeping tabs on it...

But the same games are working on other computer, where it was much before I had it on my computer.

I again forwarded it on my computer, but problem is still there....

How do i find out what the problem is???

it maybe flash has not registered properly
try
going to Start /run
type in
regsvr32.exe “C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashX.ocx"
(note check filepath is the same if not change it accordingly)
where FlashX.ocx is your release , mine is Flash9.ocx
then enter to re-register
note if there are more than one e,g, flash7.ocx it wouldnt hurt to register them all!

Thank you so much martindwilson........I did exactly what you told me, & now it is working fine. Mine was Flash9f.ocx. Don't really know what 'f' stands for, but it worked

Thanks again for your help....
