    Trying to play a game - Flash.ocx is missing - Game wont launch


    The title pretty much sums everything up.
    I downloaded a game called R.O.D.E Online, its a free mmorpg
    I installed the game, everything went well.
    When I tried to launch the game nothing happens, after clicking on the launcher a few times I get an error message that says this:

    Program compatibility assistant
    This program requires a missing windows component:
    "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows."

    I have browsed to the installation folder and directly clicked on the launcher file, the game launches but when I try to play it says I need to download the newest patches. Well the file that gives me the error is the launcher which downloads the patches.

    I have searched for answers for this error for about 2 hours.. It seems others have had this error for other programs but it wasn't essential to fix for the program to run. I have been unable to find a solution so any help is much much appreciated.

    Thank You!

    Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

Would it improve performance on a game to launch it as a high priority process? Specifically, Garry's Mod. Is this possible? The problem is, I can't just minimize it and reset the process priority as doing so seems to make it crash.
