Please give the complete command that you are trying to run including
command line arguments, as well as details on what you are trying to
accomplish by running the program.

Regsvr32 is a program that is used to register components on your
machine so that the can be programmatically accessible from other
applications. So at the least you need to pass in to regsrv32 the name
of the file that you want to register.

Also, in Vista this requires administrator privileges so you need to do
this from an elevated command prompt.
