Re: selecting autoplay actions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Ramesh,

That is the error I was getting. I followed your instructions and after
typing in
regsvr32 wshom.ocx I got a message saying DllRegisterServer in wshom.ocx
succeeded. But when I ran clean handlers again I got the same error 429
Active X can't create object message. Any other suggestions would be
appreciated. I've been scouring the Internet looking for a solution. Thanks
again.
