No, it doesn't. The program asks the Operating System to use some of the functionalities of that file. Then the OS looks for that file in its folders (the windows, system and system32 ones) in the folders of the PATH variable and in the folder where the program is.

When i said you to put the file in c:\.... I meant your system32 folder, which is usually at that location. But if you changed the letters of your drives or installed XP in other drive and/or folder, you should put the .ocx in your system32 folder. It can be c:\windows\system32 or c:\winxp\system32 or d:\windows\system32 or.... do you understand me?

The thing that really matters is that you have a good installation of XP. If you installed XP and after that changed the letter of the drive where XP was installed that may cause you problems.

Updated the tweaker for the last version 2.51.68. Patchou changed several things and you should update. (Patchou, why did you change so many things?? )

Download at the first post.

Perhaps the next release would contain a updater, made by Dane Smith.

It you're Dane, sorry, but I have to reelase it now, and your updater has some problems.

I'm very sorry. I have the same (!VER) and don't know what more to say to you. Anyone?

I've attached my version of comctl32.ocx - maybe this one will work.

Thanks, but that didnt work either.. :\

(They were both the same file size)

I really want to use this..

what version is your OCX?
this here is v6.0.81.5...
(EDIT: removed again, was the same as Tochjo's...)
If it is the same filesize (even same version) it doesn't mean they're the same... yours could be corrupt

Search your PC for other COMCTL32.OCX's, maybe there is somewhere a conflict, or it loads the wrong one (having an -bad- OCX in \windows where it normal would be in \windows\system32). Unregister and delete everything you find in windows, windows\system and windows\system32, then copy the one from Tochjo into your system32 directory, register it....

To register: REGSVR32 c:\windows\system32\COMCTL32.OCX
To unregister: REGSVR32 /u c:\windows\COMCTL32.OCX (directory may be diff. afcourse)

ERROR:
I get a error message that reads : failed to load control "toolbar" from COMCTL32.OCX. your version of COMCTL32.OCX may be outdated. make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.

PROBLEM:
There are two or more identical files called comctl32.ocx on your computer. 

SOLUTION:
There should be only one comctl32.ocx on the computer.   Search the c:\windows folder and all subfolders for all files named comctl32.ocx.
* Click the right mouse button on the file name, select properties, then version.
* Delete all comctl32.ocx files EXCEPT the newest version one
* Restart the computer.
