Actually there is a problem with Vista where certain files, notably .ocx 
files get registered improperly and you will get an error message that a 
certain .ocx file cannot be read or it is missing. The solution is to 
unregister the file and then Vista will read it and register it again, 
hopefully corrrectly the next time. Sounds flaky, and it is, but then 
again it is Mickeysoft so what else can we expect?

The registry in Vista is a quagmire of problems and will remain so until 
there is a service release to fix it.
