Re: Unable to register dll

Glad to hear you got it worked out, Lynn.

I got AutoCAD LT 2007 recently, moved up from 2000i. Boy what a difference.

Wesley, Thanks and sorry for the delay. Took me a while to get back on
that system. Imagine, a user expecting to be able to work on his own
computer... Anyway, unregister didn't work. .dll file is from Autodesk,
specific file for large format printer we have. Newly installed software,
so I doubted .dll was in use. I was typing reply earlier and commenting
on how I had checked permissions on many files, folders etc, when I
realized I hadn't checked registry. Found that permissions were hosed on
HKCR; fixed them, rebooted and was able to register .dll. After some
other frustrations, software is working and computer even seems to be
running faster! Life is good - or at least getting better!

What *.dll files?

Maybe they were/are in use.

Did you try to unregister them first?

Sometimes you have to unregister and then register a file. I don't know
why.

Win XP SP2, fully patched (except IE7), no malware. Am unable to
register a dll using Regsvr32, get 0x8007005 error which indicates
rights issue. Cannot register as user with admin rights, or under
computer admin login, or even as admin in safe mode. All
ideas/suggestions appreciated. TIA
