Hi John ,,, ComCat has been a sore spot in Win 98 & NT 4 every since 98 & NT4 came on line. ComCat.dll has a companion file named OLE32.Dll and these two files MUST be matched version wise or all kinds of problems will surface. The problem started when programs began to install ComCat ver. 5.0 while your sys. still had Ole32.dll ver.4.0 installed, this led to problems and ComCat had to be changed back to ver. 4.71 to restore normal operation. In a nut shell, ComCat.dll v 5.0 cannot function properly with any version of ole32.dll less than 4.71. If you installed or reinstalled the OS with a ver. of ole32.dll less than 4.71 already installed, then ComCat.dll file will fail to register itself (it is a self registering file) in the registry, and when this happens, nothing is going to work right. The first thing to do is check what versions of ComCat.dll & Ole32.dll is installed: 1 Comcat.dll should be 5.0 2. Ole32.dll should be 4.71.xxxx What action you take from here depends on what you find in # 1 & 2 above. Possible problems include: A. Corrupt Comcat.dll and/or Ole32.dll Replace both with correct ver.'s & reregister B. Incorrectly registered Comcat.dll un-register then re-register C. wrong ver. of Ole32.dll replace with correct ver. or replace Comcat.dll with ver. 4.71 & register. You did not mention what OS you are working with so pay attention to the path to these files as it is not the same for 98 & NT Also check and see if you have regsvr32.exe on your disk, you will need it if you have to do any registering. If you do not know how to register a file, get back to me and I will show you a very simple way to do it while still in Windows and it automatically compensates for the path.
