What a wonderful website and forum !

I upgraded my Flash 5 to Flash MX. I am having trouble using the ActiveX control (flash.ocx) in my Visual Basic application. I am using Windows XP.

Tried uninstalling swflash.ocx and flash.ocx as instructed in the Macromedia site. The moment I delete from the Registry and these files, they automatically are reinstalled.

Anyone, throw some light on me. I am in total darkness.

Thanks
