Vista - MSINET.OCX error

I'm trying to run a program that runs fine on my XP computer, but it won't
run on my new Vista computer.

So, when I run the program I get the following error:

"Component 'MSINET.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered:
a file is missing on invalid"

I've tried to install msinet.ocx in the system32 folder, but it never works.

You try running this application with Run As Administrator or tell Vista to
run the application with XP SP2 compatibility?

How would I tell it to run it with XP SP2 compatibility?

You right click the exe or short-cut and select Properties and go to the
Compatibility tab. Take note that Run As Administrator is beyond your user
admin rights to run an application.

Msinet.ocx may need to be registered. Right-click Command Prompt, and
choose "Run as Administrator. Type

Regsvr32 Msinet.ocx

Press Enter on your keyboard.
