Re: regsvr32 error

Hi Lulu--

What's your objective? Usually running a regsvr command is aimed towards
reregistering something specific. What is it that isn't working that you
are trying to fix?

Regsvr32.exe is a process belonging to the Windows OS and is used to
register dynamic-link libraries and ActiveX controls in the registry

The message means that you need to provide a specific name of some program
you're trying to reregister.

For example in this MSKB that is meant to fix connectivity problems with IE
in XP (that's often helpful):

The new window that you open in Internet Explorer displays a blank white
page
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;902932

I have no idea what programs you are trying to fix by reregistering specific
..dlls, so the above MSKB is used as an example.
