JSI Tip 1334. Unable to find function "DLLRegisterServer" .. on restart, after IE install.


If you installed IE 4.01 SP1 or SP2 or IE 5, and you receive any of the following when you first restart your computer:

   Unable to find function "DLLRegisterServer" in file
   C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\COMCAT.DLL.

   Error occurred calling "DLLRegisterServer" in
   C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\ASCTRLS.OCX (HRESULT=80004005).

   Error occurred calling "DLLRegisterServer" in
   C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DAXCTLE.OCX (HRESULT=80004005).
who may have a damaged or incorrect version of %SystemRoot%\System32\Comcat.dll.

To workaround the problem, rename %SystemRoot%\System32\Comcat.dll to %SystemRoot%\System32\Comcat.old and reinstall IE.

NOTE: If you elect to uninstall IE first, do the rename after the uninstall.
