Hi,

I had a motherboard fry that has left XP Pro corrupted. Have been able to get data off but unable to boot disk directly Decided to do a repair rather than a re-install due to some complicated application set-ups that were a problem to get right originally.

Repair ran fine - all the way to 'Saving Settings' and about 2 minutes on the clock to go and then screen went black and machine re-booted. It started the install again automatically ran through the same install and re-booted at the same point. When you run windows it senses that the install has not completed so restarts.... Checked the error log and the same error repeated.

Setup could not register the OLE Control C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash\flash.ocx because of the following error:
DllRegisterServer returned error 2147647516 (8002801c).

Any ideas what I should do to get around this problem ? Is it possible that the flash.ocx is not part of a normal install and therefore possible I could delete the file / folder ?

Your help would be appreciated.

Clean Install.

If you haven't backed up and need your data then slave the drive in another desktop to extract your data first.

Then Clean Install.

Changing motherboards requires a Clean Install.
