5. this fix doesn’t work for me… I have Vista Pro Home Edition – followed all the instructions – this is a timecoding program I need for work…

6. @birdtoes, I didn’t test on Vista, but I was able to get this work on win7 and windows server 2008.

8. Hi, I followed your instructions but I get this error:
   DLLRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c

9. @Lalo, when registering comdlg32.ocx, it must be done as adminsitrator, or regsvr32.exe will failed with error 0x8002801c.

   To do this as administrator, Go to ‘All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt’, right click on ‘Command Prompt’ icon, and click on ‘Run as administrator’ to start a command prompt, then run the regsvr32 command.

10. Hi, I did this but when I hit enter it says
    ‘ The module “c:\Windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx”
    failed to load.

    Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or
    debug it to check for problems with the binary or
    dependent .DLL files.

    The specified moodule could not be found.’

25. Zrób tak dla vista 32 bit
    Aby to zrobić jako administrator, przejdź do “Wszystkie Programy -> Akcesoria -> Wiersz polecenia, kliknij prawym przyciskiem myszy na ikonę” Wiersz polecenia “i kliknij przycisk” Uruchom jako administrator “, aby rozpocząć wierszu polecenia, a następnie uruchom polecenia:
    regsvr32 c:\Windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx
    Spacja ma tylko występować po regsvr32 przed literą c dalej cała komenda bez spacji

    The Module “c:\windows\sysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx”was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x800281c.

30. OK needed command prompt iwith Adminitrator rights, right click command prompt and run as admin.

31. im tired off this, tried this and getting same erroe message “c:\windows\sysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx”was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x800281c.
    I ran as admin and everything

32. I am still getting the same error even after it said the register was succesful…

33. Thanks a lot, I was having troubles with iDoser, but now I can use it. The advice on running as administrator really helped a lot.

34. This fix worked great for a problem I was having with 2 .ocx files being used by Blackbaud Razor’s Edge. Thanks!

35. Thanks mate…

36. Thank You…it works well

37. I did everything you said and it even said it regestered correctly but it still won’t work!!!

38. Nevermind that acutally now it says i need ANOTHER FREKING OCX FILE!!!

39. Thank You!

40. Thanks. I am working on Win7 (64 Bit) and this worked for me.

41. Thank you very much!!! this procedure solve entirely my problem…

    @jorgevillota

42. I need a version which works with a 64 bit cpu, send me a link

43. Solved. Thanks!!

44. I think other way to solve this is simply installing Microsoft Explorer. It install all a lot of .OCX files

45. running the Command Prompt as an administrator did the trick.
    regsvr32 c:\Windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx
