Guest TripleTaco Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 My wordpad is not working. Just start happening the other day. I tried running regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Mshtml.dll. It responded with the error: C;\WINDOWS\System32\Mshtml.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered. what's wrong with my PC? Oh yes, wordpad seems to work in safe mode.

If Wordpad works in Safe Mode, the problem is caused by another software (malware) most likely.

Guest TripleTaco Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: WORDPAD not responding I don't know why it is not working. It comes up when you click on a file associated to it and you can see the file. You try to scroll or modify the file and it hems and haws around and then just says not responding and says it has to end. No error messages that I remember. I was a little worried that I might be corrupting my files. But I opened one of the same files which resides on a shared drive on another computer and the other computer opened it just fine in wordpad. I associated these files to OpenOffice on the computer that Wordpad is not working on right now. I would much rather use Wordpad though. Hope I can get it fixed.

Guest TripleTaco Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Re: WORDPAD not responding Thanks d-d I don't know what I did but it is now working. I think associating all the rtf files with OpenOffice write and then back again solved the problem. I do not know what else it could have been. =) Any technical ideas on why this fixed the problem?

Guest TripleTaco Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: WORDPAD not responding Detlev, A guy from the Toshiba help desk told me over the phone to run this bat file: regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Appwiz.cpl regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Mshtml.dll regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Jscript.dll regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Msi.dll regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System\Ole DB\Oledb32.dll" regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System\Ado\Msado15.dll" regsvr32 %systemroot%\System32\Mshtmled.dll Everything worked except for the 2nd command. Will this mess my XP MCE up? I would like to know if there is anything I need to do now? Or is this just not work with IE7. I usually use FireFox. Thanks for any help.

Have you recently copied any file or directory in either your Windows or Program Files directory, or any subdirectory thereof, from one disk to another and back again for any reason? Alternatively, have you temporarily renamed any directory or file in those locations at the Dos prompt, and then named them back? If so, what? Men are like campsites.

No idea since OpenOffice is installed on one of my systems only for testing purposes and there are no such problems. Anyway, glad to hear that your problem has been resolved. -- d-d

Anyway, that advice did not make too much sense since there are almost no dependencies. > Will this mess my XP MCE up? No, that advice does not harm and does not help either. > I would like to know if there is anything I need to do now? No, the problem seems to be resolved apparently. > Or is this just not work with IE7. I usually use FireFox. Well, the 2nd command worked when there was IE6 installed. It does not work anymore in general when there is IE7 installed because that file belongs to IE and has been replaced with a newer version. No matter what browser you're actually using. > Thanks for any help. You're certainly welcome. -- d-d
