Ok, that file is for the ActiveX control of Flash. For some reason the file is missing on your machine, and is not getting installed when you install Flash. I think there is a problem with Internet Explorer 7, because it turns out millions of people have had this problem and it is because of an update Microsoft provided for Internet Explorer 7.
You need to get that file from Adobe (they own Flash), by Searching Google, Microsoft or some other website, just so long as you get it and put it in this folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromedia or C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe depending on which version you have, becuase Adobe later bought Macromedia and changed it.
After you get that file, move it to one of those folders, restart your computer for good measure, and then it should work fine.

P.S. Make sure you get the file that is for your Operating System.
