Error Accessing System Registry!

[johnvai]

Dear Friends:
Does anyone know about this problem?
when I open the references in VB6.0 it's saying Error Accessing system Registry.
I tried to reinstall the VB6.0 but it's still giving this error.
(This error is not visible on other computers, and I just formated my computer, so it's new)

Something else:
Sometimes while I open a project or a from (on some computers), it's giving VB6.o error.

johnvai, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet Item 15. The whole faq may help you get the most from these forums.

Did you install crystal reports? They have a fix. GoTo their web site if so.

Good Luck

If you are still seeking a fix, or to those who are, you can get the patch from

http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/scr8_webregfix.exe.asp

and then follow these instructions:
Extract the two files contained in the self-extracting EXE to the root folder (such as c:\ or d:\).

--

Before continuing, ensure that you are logged on as Administrator, and that the 'Task Scheduler' service is running.

On the 'Start' menu, click 'Run'. Type 'cmd' and click 'OK'. This opens a command prompt window.

At the command prompt use the 'AT' scheduler command with the follow syntax:

AT time /INTERACTIVE cmd.exe

where 'time' is a time value in HH:MM format for a few minutes in the future. For example:

at 16:44 /interactive cmd.exe


At the time specified, a new command prompt window appears. Change to the root folder in this window by typing the following and pressing 'Enter':

cd \

Once at the root folder, run the registry fix (scr8_webregfix.exe) by typing the following and pressing 'Enter':

scr8_webregfix.exe

This will resolve the error message, and you will now be able to access your project references in Visual Basic.

--

The AT command is required to run the registry fix since this runs the fix using the 'System' account rather than the 'Administrator' account. The 'System' account is sometimes needed to make changes to the registry that cannot be done using the 'Administrator' account.


Note===========

For more information on the 'System' account in Microsoft Windows NT/2000, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q120929: 'How the System Account is Used in Windows NT'.

This issue is resolved in Crystal Reports 8.5.
