Hi Ricky,

This error can occur if the following registry key and/or value entry is not present
for the HTML Component (.HTC) file:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.htc

Name | Type | Data
Content Type | REG_SZ | text/x-component

Both of the registry editors - regedit.exe and regedt32.exe - have Help files that
explain how to add keys, values, etc. And for a great Windows Registry Tutorial,
see:
