Glad you're up and running...

But if you're missing hhctrl.ocx, you might be missing more files and reinstalling windows could be the easiest/safest way to go. But I'd look for hhctrl.ocx on my harddrive. (Windows start button|search). For me (winxp home), I found it he c:\windows\system32 If you don't find it there, maybe you can find it in one of the .CAB files on your Windows CD and extract and copy it there--(or "borrow" it from another pc running the same version of windows????). After that, you'll want to make sure that windows sees it--you'll have to register it with windows. Windows start button|Run type this: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx (Change the location as required) And see if it works. Failing that, I'd go to Google Groups and search for "missing hhctrl" You'll find lots of hits with lots of suggestions. In fact, you may want to visit google first--to see if you see a better suggestion.

By trying to contact tech support, I can see that I am missing the file "hhctrl.ocx" in Windows, with the suggestion that I re-install Windows. My question is: do I need to do anything to protect My Documents or other items like OUtlook.pst before I go about re-installing Windows? -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson |
