Quote - Just did a search on my WindowXP machine and amovie.ocx is file not found.  Strange that I have no animation errors and DON'T have the ocx file.

My guess would be that the OP's machine was either upgraded from Win98 to XP or something that used that control was installed and removed leaving behind some dangling registry entries.

On my XP machine the CLS_ID for the ActiveX Movie control points to a DLL related to WMP, so I suspect the solution is to make sure that WMP is up to date.
