You answered that yourself Harold.
"......and what I find is that regsvr32 is the command-line
tool that registers .dll files as command components in the
registry along with a lot of other information....."
and, "but do see information that looks like it might go into a
cmd window."
Sorry but I don't know how else to explain it. Have you ever
gone to the "Run.." area in the start menu? That's where you
put the command line, or you can open a command window using
cmd and do it there in the window.

Hello again,
Some time ago, Sun, 17 Aug 2008, Clint offered a suggestion
(subject was
"Windows XP Service Pack 3"). Let's forget the Service Pack for
now; my
computer is working fine without installing it. I'm more
interested in that
suggestion which he offered which was to go to Run and enter
"regsvr32
c:\windows\system32\wups2.dll" (sans quotes).
I've been googling "regsvr32" and what I find is that regsvr32
is the
command-line tool that registers .dll files as command
components in the
registry" along with a lot of other information. I see no
reference to using
the "Run" applet but do see information that looks like it
might go into a
"cmd" window. Questions: What is this "regsvr32" command all
about and how
is it used? What does it mean to be registering dll files? ---
Harold
