Copy the activeX MSComm32.ocx in the windows\system32 folder (take it from there on your own computer) and use regsvr32 to register it. Click on Start -> run and there type "regsvr32 MSComm32.ocx".

Hi, I tried above method, it worked for windows 2000 but in XP the problem still exists. What i did is: 1) i copied the file MSComm32.ocx in my system(mine is windows 2000)and placed in XP m/c at location c:\windows\system32 problem didn't get resolved. when i did above step in windows 2000 it worked(i tried in 2 systems) Except mine in all other systems i couldn't register(Click on Start -> run and there type "regsvr32 MSComm32.ocx". ) Thanks

Hi, The error message was "Cannot find the file 'regsvr'(or one of its components).Make sure the path and the file name are correct and that all required libraries are available" The systems which got this error doesn't have VC++ installed. I had placed MSCOMM32 at windows\system32\mscomm32.ocx or winnt\system32\mscomm32.ocx Thanks

Type regsvr32 not regsvr.

Hi, One more Q, in one of the system mscomm32 was existing but created in 1997(when i saw in it properties) when i executed my project it was not working, when i replaced with the mscomm32 which was created in 1998 it started working.Am curious to know why it is so. Thanks
