Invalid class string

[Guest Kindrick Ownby]

All of a sudden my Canon digital camera software, ZoomBrowser,

produces the message

 

"Invalid class string"

 

when I try to run it by double-clicking on the icon.

 

The computer did freeze when accessing some web page recently,

but I haven't run the camera software for some time.

 

I re-installed the software that came with the camera, and I

get the same result.

 

Should I uninstall/delete all the camera stuff before the

re-install?

 

Any suggestions?

 

TIA,

 

Kindrick

Re: Invalid class string

 

If uninstalling/reinstalling everything including the camera drivers doesn't help:

 

Check Canon's support site for your specific model and/or software on the error

message.

Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date antivirus application installed. According

to one tidbit I found on Canons site which had a similar error message, it is caused

by the Klez virus.
