Runtime Error 429 ActiveX component can’t create object

Ah, computers can be so much fun as well as a useful tool doing everything from playing games to running your business. Well this is all well and good until something dreadful happens like the following error Runtime Error 429 ActiveX component can’t create object. Now I run Windows XP and everything worked fine until I wanted to run my business software, it would not upload my order to the company’s server which was an absolute catastrophe, as I needed to upload the order to receive the stock for the next days delivery.

Not panicking quite yet I phoned the help desk which turned out to be next to useless, the guy didn’t even klnow how to drop to DOS. Originally this problem occured after I uninstalled some programs in windows. It bugged me for quite awhile until I found a solution while doing a search on google. I tell you the internet has a wealth of information if you persevere. Apparently the solution was to register one of the .dll files. I tried to REGSVR32 (the command used to register a .dll file) many .dll files but the one that worked for me was REGSVR32 SCRRUN.DLL, which for XP users can be found in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory.

If your not sure how to this just follow the step by step procedure.

If you are using XP you will find SCRRUN.DLL in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 directory. To register this file press the window key(next to ctrl key) and R key together, the run box should open where you should type the following:

Regsvr32.exe “C:\windows\system32\Scrrun.dll
