Hello there,

Well after a bit of a run around I think I have found your answer. It seems
because of loads of messages from other people that the program
regsvr32.exe is actually the cause!!! You must update your regsvr32 file.
Follow this link...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=277964

It gives an explanation which compared to some of the other stuff I found
is a bit sparse and would not have jumped up on its own as being the
solution.....but, give it a try and then re-install your DLL's

Good Luck

Thanks it worked, it gave me no errors.

After i did that to all 3 files, i went to use the movie
maker. When i was trying to add titles to my movie, they
still appear as just a grey screen. Even the preview of
the title in the right hand pane is only grey, none of the
text I have typed appears.

Any idea why that is?

the one i downloaded from your link this link
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=277964
)is 29.2 KB
the one in my directory c:\windows\system32\ is 9.5 kb

if i try using this (regsvr32.exe /?) on the 9.5 kb one
(my original)it gives me an error of invalid flag or some
sort.

if i try it on the 29.2 kb from your link it gives me
nothing. goes back to prompt.

after i register all the .dll should it give me any
confirmation that it did it or some sort of indication
that it was successful?

Hello,

I understood that the microsoft link gave you the current version of
Regsvr32.exe (you download the file regsvr32a.exe which I expected to be a
self extractor file containing the actual regsevr32.exe and a text file) I
will go quickly and take a look myself.

Hello again,

Yes as I thought it is a self extracting file. I dropped it into my Temp
directory and ran it. After running it you gain two extra files 1)
Regsvr32.exe and a textfile detailing how to use it called REGSV32A.TXT

Having taken a look at the txt file I am a little perplexed at the date
which is January 1997. That does not seem right at all. I know that XP is
simply a re-branded NT OS and therefore Regsvr32 from NT 4 days would still
be good, I'm just a bit surprised by it.

If you read the text file you will see where the regsvr32 file should
normally be placed...so....using Windows Explorer, navigate to the location
on your machine find your existing regsvr32 file and right click it...then
write down the version number (the whole thing) Then go to the newly
extracted regsvr32.exe and right click that. Compare the version numbers.
In the event that the one just downloaded is a higher version and buil
number (the last part of the version number) then copy it over the top of
your old one...leave alone if the recently downloaded is younger or the
SAME...don't copy it across.

I have to go out shortly. Our Bar-B-Que did its job yesterday and then died
on us, and as we are having another tonight I need to go buy one!!!

I will check back later to see how you have got on, I have to say that I am
no longer confident that we have found your solution. I can tell you how to
manually edit the Registry entries...its actually very easy, but because of
that it is also very easy to screw the entire computer up...so I think we
will leave that option alone for the time being.

ok the one I already had is newer version which is
5.1.2600.0

That would mean I am back to the beginning

Why is this happening to me? I have a top of the line
computer here from Dell with windows XP Professional. I
did a lot of searching around for the last few days but i
came up with nothing. You are my only hope. It seems like
if i reinstall windows xp will solve my problem, but my
computer is networked to a server meaning too much trouble
reinstalling it. I also did all the patches, i downloaded
the latest directx the latest MDAC, but nothing.

I don't know where to go from here.
