Hi nightsneak, Thanks for your post. Vic cleared it up for me. I had downloaded the proper version but I didn't know I had to "register" it. As far as knowing "a lot" about computers, what I know is due to about 10,000 self-inflicted crashes, googgle searches, and, much more importantly, the info I glean from groups like this. Thanks muchly, Mike On 20 Jul 2002 at 7:29, nightsneak wrote: Mike, I have the file. It is 138 KB, registered 5/21/00. If you think it might help, I can send it to you. Did this error just happen? Or did you just install, or try to run something that was different from what you normally do? Did you move the file to the C:\Windows\System folder? Where does it appear as a default txt file? As far as reinstalling VB, did you remove everything associated with the previous versions before you tried reinstalling? I know you know a *lot* about computers, but sometimes we miss obvious solutions :-) nightsneak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike" <m.schell@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 7:10 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- COMDLG32.OCX problem | | Hi, | | I received the following VB runtime error message: | | "Component COMDLG32.OCX is not correctly registered: File is | missing or invalid" | | I ran a search and found the corresponding Dll but not the OCX file.
