    Hi,

    Run the command :

    a. Type Command prompt on the start screen

    b. Select "Run as Administrator"

    c. Type regsvr32.exe hit enter.

    d. Try to re-register. (regsvr32 %Systemroot%\System32\comdlg32.ocx)

    Pls post the exact error message that occurred when running the regsvr32 command. Also, mention the full command-line you used, and your Operating System version and bitness (32bit or 64bit).
