Windows 7 logon screen saver can't access Flash

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise x64.  I have installed Flash 10 and my corporate flash-based screen saver.  the screen saver works properly when I'm logged in, I get the following message when the screen saver attempts to run:

Flash Player not found.  This application needs to have Flash player installed.

Since it works when a user is logged in, I'm assuming this is a permissions issue, but I admit I'm grabbing at straws.

I read a post elsewhere that told me to copy my Flash OCX and rename it Flash6.ocx.  I did that and registered the OCX, but it still doesn't work.

Hi,

If i'm not mistaken you're not going to be able to do this as the screensavers which are possible to run at the logon screen are limited.  I responded to a similar post about this here and also wrote a little post on my site here explaining how to set a logon screensaver however the problem being that Direct 3D is not available.

With this in mind, i'm willing to bet that this is what you're comming accross here.

Hopefully this helps,
Jon
