Flash9b.ocx crash once again

Question

Hi, all
I'd really like to see an official message from Adobe
concerning the issue with Flash9b.ocx crashing in IE. Surely they
must have received a lot of messages from disgruntled users.
I work for an online newspaper and we have several hundred
thousand page impressions every day. And for lots of users our
front page causes the Flash player to crash. It's practically
impossible to isolate which banner ad(s) that will lead to a crash.
My theory is that there are certain ActionScript commands
that are handled in a different manner in the new player, while
swfs that contain only animation will work.

causes the problem.
SOLUTION:
Copy: "...windows/system32/macromed/flash/flash9b.ocx"
Paste: it as a copy of flash9b.ocx then...
RENAME: the COPIED FILE to "flash.ocx"
IMPORTANT: do not delete the original flash9b.ocx just make a
copy of named "flash.ocx"
This "fix" has worked a lot of people that have programs or
screen savers that look for the original flash.ocx file which it
can't fine causing in some cases for I.E. to close and the
resultant error message.
When the origin and the mechanism of the crash
known this is a very simple idea. I'll try it and hope it shall fix
the problem.
But I don't understand this: This error occurs allready since
end of January or begin of february 2006 on my computer, visiting a
lot of sites. I spent allready very much of time trying to solve
followed problems. I wrote allready an email to Adobe support and
got not any perheaps only formal politeness answer, not to mention
any suggestion of trying to fix it. I don't know what does this
strategy of Adobe mean :/
