I've just upgraded to VS9 from VS8 and installed it on a new machine - ASUS A8N SLI Premium, MSI 6800GS graphics, 1 GB dual channel RAM, Athlon 64 x2 4200+, Samsung SP2504C x 4 (I TB disk space). it's a completely fresh clean fully patched XPSP2 system with no software other than MS Office 2003. This problem has been mentioned a couple of times in other threads but there have been no real answers as yet so I thought a new thread would bring it to the top of the pile again.
The first thing I did was patch up to date and downloaded the extra content. I immediately started checking out the new features, added a flash animation to the timeline and the program crashes to the desktop when trying to play it. Everything else seems to work fine.
One suggestion was to "register flash.ocx" - I have no idea what that means.
Any solutions or suggestions? Is this a widespread problem?
Thanks.

I'm not real sure on this, however I do some Flash(Swish) authoring, and try to keep up on the changes in Macromedia Flash Players. The current Flash Player version is 8. Since Flash Player 7, it has become real context sensitive with its code. If the code is not correct, then it fails to play. Anyway it's an Active X file, and more information can be found here:

Right now I just have Flash Player 7, and I'm real hesitant on upgrading to 8. Macromedia Flash Player has been super buggy for years, and they are slower then Ulead on fixing things....
Hope that helps some...

Thanks Ron. I've remove the flash player, installed version 7 and VS9 still crashes. I've also changed my default web browser from Firefox back to IE6 and it's still a problem. I managed to find out how to register flash.ocx and that didn't help. This is very frustrating. Brand new software on a brand new machine and it instantly doesn't work properly.
