[GUIDE]How to remove Flash.ocx


Recommended Posts

When you need to remove the flash.ocx ,because your log file shows:

01:21:02.14  10/26/1985:  Please try deleting flash.ocx in the installation folder and then reininstall PinballX.
01:21:02.14  10/26/1985:  You may need to change security properties on the file.
01:21:02.14  10/26/1985:  If PinballX does not initialize you should address this issue.

It could be a difficult thing to remove the file.

I hope this tutorial will make it easier.

Navigate to your PinballX folder via the windows explorer (My example is in c:\pinball\PinballX, but could be installed in another drive/folder) and locate flash.ocx.
Right click on it and select Properties
