Can't open Add/Remove Programs
When trying to open Add/Remove Programs, keep getting the message "an unexpected error occurred. Object doesn't support property or method. res://sp3res.dll/default.hta. Line:82
Problem just appeared 12/24/03 after I fixed a .url short cut problem, but I don't see any relationship |

From another forum (it might work but there was no response there)
You can fix this problem typing in command-box: REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL This is the official Microsoft fix http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1 |

APPWIZ.CPL and not sp3res.dll? the former didn't appear as in the MS KB article. Last thing I need is to corrupt the registry. I can back it up & restore it, but why take thre risk?

If you're using XP, just restore it to a time before the problem started.

If SFC doesn't do the trick, press F8 while booting to get to the boot menu and select "Last known good configuration", then enter and see if that helps.

Neither SFC nor Restore fixed the problem...also ran 3 spyware apps (Pest Patrol, Ad-aware & SpyHunter) and a trojan app (TrojanHunter) - no spyware or trojans...reinstalled Win2K, SP4but still have the problem.

I found this on another site...it's worth a try:
Click Start, Run, and copy and paste the line below (it is case sensitive). rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt" Choose Repair Internet Explorer and restart. Last edited by Redo40; 12-25-2003 at 05:26 PM. |

If that doesn't do the job try this one:
> Error in Script > ... > URL: file ://C:\winnt\Web\dialup.htt or this one > Error in Script > ... > URL res://sp3res.dll/default.hta You can fix this problem typing in command-box: REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL Keep us posted on what if anything that works. |

1. ran sfc/scannow & sfc/purgecache 2. Ran RESTORE (f8 on restart) 3. Ran 3 spyware apps. (Ad-aware, Pest Patrol & SpyHunter...no spyware. 4. Ran TrojanHunter - no trojans Anyother suggestions. 5. Reinstalled Win2K, SP4 |

Redo40: I stand corrected...I tried the first fix a second time & it worked...probably because I was very careful when I typed it in and included " at the end.
Thanks much for your help. |
