Forgive me if this is in the wrong location. I am new here and not sure
where to post.
I just got a new pc with windows vista, and I cant use my regsvr32 to
register active x controls for custom games in a program called vp chat.
I read a lot of the posts, and in-activated user controls on here. I
was getting an error, and now it simple stops running everytime I try to
drag the active x file over the regsvr32 file --- which is how it worked
in xp.
I tired to run command prompt as administrator, but i don't know how
to use that (what commands to type) to get it to register the game.
Any help will be appreciated. So far, I basically hate Vista, and it's
spoiling my "new pc" experience!
Depending on where the file you want to register is located, the command
would be something like this example:
Running Command Prompt as Administrator, type:
regsrv32 C:\Program Files\My Game\example.ocx
Press Enter.

You're welcome. Now that I think of it, if you are trying to register
C:\Program Files\My Game\example.ocx, you can hold down the shift key, then
right-click on example.ocx, and choose Copy as Path. Next open Command
Prompt as Administrator, type regsvr32 at the prompt, then make a space,
then right-click and choose Paste. It will look like this:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\My Game\example.ocx"
Press Enter. That way you don't have to type out the whole path.

I am replying here because I can not create my own thread.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed; however,
when I open "What's new?"
i get "What's new in Windows Vista Home Basic"
How can I get the "What's new in Windows Vista HomePremium"
on my system?
AND my second question is why can I not create my own thread?
I have enabled pop-up.

Thanks for that. I have this error on my Vista Box and hopefully this will
fix it.
