I am getting an error "An unexpected error occurred , object does'nt support this property or method
res://sp3res.dll / default.hta. line:82

Apart from that error when I try and open Add / remove programs , the computer is running great .

Anyone any ideas what could be going wrong , or how I could fix it :)

thanks

Make sure the following Registry Key and Value exist:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.htc
Value: "Content Type"="text/x-component"

Hello,
I am also getting that same error message. How exactly do I go about safely adding that key and value without destroying the rest of my registry?
