Executing the A/R Programs item results in a window
opening with an error message:

An unexpected error occurred.

Object doesn't support this property or method
res://sp3res.dll/default.hta
Line: 82

Any suggestions how to fix this situation?

Thanks,

Colin

Hi

From the "Run" box try

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\appwiz.cpl

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\webvw.dll

and
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\mshtml.dll


If this doesn't help, in the German newsgroup, one person fixed the
same type of error by reinstalling IE
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...de%40127.0.0.1

and

The article above also tells you how to repair Internet Explorer 6.0


See tip 6032 at http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm as well

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall the OS service pack you already have
installed (or install a newer one if possible).


If the problem persists, you'll could do an in-place upgrade of the OS and see
if it helps:

After working through Step 3 of 266668 (the simpler items didn't resolve the issue) without success I reinstalled IE6 SP1. This seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Colin
