WindowsXP de-registering RichTx32.ocx on boot

[Dean Slindee]

I have an Access 2003 .adp application that uses a RichTx32.ocx control
within the app. It appears that whenever the user shuts down the pc, and
then reboots in the morning, the RichTx32.ocx has to be re-registered over
again.

This application has been running on 100's of PC's for years, but the PC's
were all running Windows 2000 OS. Since we have installed Windows XP on a
number of PC's, the de-registering has begun.

Does anyone have any idea what in the boot cycle could cause this, or any
suggestions for a solution, perhaps within the Access app itself?

Thanks in advance,
Dean S

Dean,

This may be due to a Windows Security update. I see that RichTx.ocx is
one of the affected controls. Have a look at :-

If it isn't, then I have no idea.
