Hide Past Items

[Chrome Boy]

Hello Group.
For the last couple of years I have been using (at regular intervals) a VBS
Script which I got from Kelly's Corner.
It is Hide Past Items which clears up the notification area.
On Thursday I used it and all was fine.
On Sunday night I used it and got the following error message

Script C\ hide past items.vbs
Line: 25
Char: 1
Error: library not registered
Code: 8002801D
Source: (null)

I have neither installed or un-installed any programs.
I never used my computer between Thursday night and Sunday night.
Can any one help me please.
John

Try each suggestion in order:
1. Download the script again and try it
2. Re-register vbscript.dll
Start, Run, and enter "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" without the quotes
3. Manually clear past items

Thanks for the reply.
1 - I had already done that and got the same error message.
2 - I did that and it made no difference. The past items are still there.
3 - I followed the link. I have the information but I'm not happy about
fiddling with the registry.

John,

Can you post the link to the VBScript that you downloaded. I should be able
to ascertain what is causing the problem.

John,

In Line 53, there are two fixes. Which one (left or right?) you're referring
to.

It's trying to connect to a WMI namespace. The error occurs if there is a
problem with WMI components in your system. See if the steps listed under
the topic "Re-registering the WMI components" in the following article
helps.
