ocx error

[Mal]

On XP Pro I get a box "StacSysTray" which says something like
"Component`actskin43.ocx` file is missing or invalid". I just click out
and go on but would like to repair this error. How do I do this? Tia

This is a component used for skinning within windows programs. The best
thing to do is search for it on your hard drive. It should be under
c:\windows\system32. If you find it, it may need to be registered.
But, you may not need it, when does the box pop up? It may be left over
from a program you tried and then uninstalled.

To register the ocx:
open a command prompt
type cd\windows\system32
hit enter
type regsvr32 actskin43.ocx
hit enter

If you decide you don't need the thing, run regsvr32 /u actskin43.ocx
instead

I tried to both register and eliminate the darn thing but both tries
gave "LoadLibrary ("actskin43.ocx) failed-The specified module could not
be found" What else can I try?

Do some clean boot troubleshooting to see what is calling it, and remove
or reinstall that program.

Doing a search on the file name shows that it is used in something
called List Fields, an addin for Lotus Notes, and generally for lots of
programs that use skinning.

StacSystTray on the other hand is from C-Major Audio, who provide the
sound drivers for a Sigmatel STAC audio card. You may want to try
reinstalling those.

I'm not the one with the issue. You should reply to the OP. Also quote
at least part of the message to which your respond, otherwise it might
not be known who or what you're talking about.

Thank you for your helpful suggestions Rock, maybe you can come up with
a Dummies Guide to Usenet so more of the unwashed mashes don't attempt
to communicate helpful information.
