RE: ATTN : TaurArian - register .dll files.

I'll try and explain - many programs use library files with extension .DLL or
..OCX and are distributed with programs that need them. Normally these are
registered with the system but if for some reason multiple programs are using
the same .DLL or .OCX file, the system may have a memory lapse and forget
about them.
If a program is uninstalled and the program deletes the library registration
and it’s needed by other programs, the information is no longer available to
the system and the files must be re-re-registered manually.
Another thing, sometimes the misuse of Registry Cleaners can cause these
problems.

Unfortunately I don't know why your CD Writing Wizard continually becomes
unregistered. Perhaps another Newgroup may be of more assistance.

Have you checked with the SFC to see if the file is corrupt?

Have you checked for spyware or done a virus check lately?

Have you posted in a more appropriate Newsgroup regarding your problem?
