Your out of the box admin account on Vista is not a full rights admin
account on Vista like it is on XP. Your admin account does not inherit
rights from the built-in account like it does on XP, particularly in the
System32 or Programs folder.

Thank you for the advice; you have helped me get way farther along than I would
have been able to do otherwise...

I seem to be making progress one step at a time, but I'm still not all the way
there. Using this method, I was able to extract the files I need from a .cab
file into system32. However, when trying to force load the iemenu.ocx file
using regsvr32 (which worked in XP), I receive an error sying "The module
iemenu.ocx failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path
or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .dll files."
"The specified module could not be found."

This may be a silly question, but will some ActiveX controls just not function
properly with Vista?

Any other ideas on how to force it in?
