Which apps?

Have you tried installing the apps in Compatibility mode?

Have you tried running the apps in Compatibility mode?

Have you tried *installing* the apps in Compatibility mode?

Foxy.exe It's a program that loads a profile into a Thrustmaster HOTAS
cougar joystick. And the download program for the Level-D 767-300er for
FS-2004

Re: Missing Comdlg32.ocx error

Felt like I was pulling teeth. ;-)

Try this.

Copy and paste this into the search
bar on the Start Menu.

regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX

You should have one result come up listed
under Programs- click it to execute it.

You should see a message saying "DllRegisterServer ... succeeded"
Something like that.

Reboot.

If for some reason that doesn't show up in search,
use Run with the same command.

Don't know if this will solve your problem,
but a quick google search said try this.
Google is your friend. ;-)

Re: Missing Comdlg32.ocx error

No joy on the search. Followed the procedure as far as the run with same
command. Reboot and got the following message.

"Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly
registered :a file is missing or invalid"

Still no joy in vista 32

Re: Missing Comdlg32.ocx error

The search trick might not have worked unless you
have indexing on. Maybe you need to unhide hidden
files and folders. Also, uncheck Hide protected operating
system files.

Have you searched the system32 folder to see if
comdlg32.ocx is actually there?
