osCommerce RC 2.2a and PHP 5.3.0 (on Windows) Problem

Open catalog/includes/modules/flash_carousel.php file and find below lines

^?View Code CSS

        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
                        body { margin:0; text-align:center; }
                        div#flash_carousel_container { text-align:center; }
                        object#flash_carousel { display:block; margin:0 auto; }
 
        </style>

And replace with below lines

			text-align:center; 
			background-image:  url(http://www.yourwebsite123.com/images/background.jpg);
     			background-repeat: no-repeat;}
                        object#flash_carousel { display:block; margin:0 auto; }

Don’t forget to change background-image: url(http://www.yourwebsite123.com/images/background.jpg); tags in above lines according to your settings.
