Re: Class not registered error

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



A similar thing happened to me and it ended up being a missing file:
sspp32.dll. That file is (I assume) a Sheridan property page translator. I
remember getting a fix from Infragistics at the time but a quick look at
their website today was no help. Also, I just checked my system and the
file is missing again and sure enough, when I drop a grid on a form and hit
F4 the property page doesn't display. I guess I'll have to track down the
missing file and re-install it but the question is, Where does it go?
