regsvr32 jscript

regsvr32 /i mshtml

If you're on XP just open up the Run dialogue and enter those above.
The /i mshtml one didnt work. Just tried that and it is still not working

If your computer came with XP, did you download vista and install it without an original serial?

If so, then do the same again... there are some sites where you can find the original disk with SP1 cause if you already have it it may not work if you use an older version disk... you can give it a try anyway, but it may be easier if you go for sure :P

Hmmm there's something i can't understand >.< sorry...

Your computer came with XP, then you ordered the vista disk, you get it and install it, then updated it to SP1 and now you get this problem?

If so, then you should be abble to uninstall the SP1 *-) i mean, is not the same repair the instalation with SP1 and without SP1... it's never the same or at least it never worked for me with xp to repair xp with sp2 with an old disk without sp2 ... but, with vista idk.

I'll tell you something that may help you, when i bought my original license of vista home premium, it cames in a CD and was an old version of vista (without SP1) but the SERIAL was for vista home premium with SP1 so, with it there was a paper with this instructions for the resealler: "In order to install properly the os you should provide the customer with a new image of windows vista home premium sp1 disk" and my provider just ordered again to microsoft the new disk and in a week or so i get the dvd with sp1, i guess your resealler can do the same for you ;) give it a try like that :D it worked for me here where the sun don't shine xD :P

I'm not sure if this is still relivant, but I know at work we had a problem with new Dell machines running XP not being able to use windows update. The two solutions that came out of it were change the MTU on the network card to a lower value (1492 or 1430 are two that I remember working on different machines) and the second solution was to install Microsoft update instead of using Windows update.

But like I said, I don't know if these fixes are relevant because I haven't had a chance to sit down with Vista yet.
