regsvr32...

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Isn't working .

I'm trying to get some subtitles by following the guide on this site, but when I try to run the regsvr32 command this error message comes up:



Right, so i've checked the file path and i've done everything that it told me to... to no avail.

I'm not that great at this sort of stuff, so any help would me much appreciated, on how to get this to work.

Or another method of getting subtitles for the films.

NOTE: I'm running XP.

Hrm, it's almost like C:\windows\system32 isn't in your path. In the console type "echo %path%" (no quotes) and post what it spits out.

Are you using XP Home? Though I would think that it would still be there... check the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder for a regsvr32.exe to be sure.

Heres the reply:



And i'm running XP Home, and yes, there is a regsvr32.exe in there.

Thanks for the help, so far .

@ Ozzy.

My path is three lines. Hmm... I'm getting curious here.

PS! Also running XP.

Ok, somehow your path setting has been completely cleared. When you open the command window, type in this:

set path=%SystemRoot%\system32

Then see if regsvr32 will run - it should. This is only a temporary fix; every time you open a new command window you'll have to enter the above line again. When I get to work and get on a WinXP machine I'll grab the path setting from it and let you know how to fix it permanently through the registry.

Ok, go to Start>Run and type in "regedit," hit enter. Now, go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

Within that you should see a variable named "Path." Open it up and pasted the following into it:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32\nls;%SystemRoot%\system32\nls\ENGLISH

Now click ok on it, exit regedit, log out and then back in. Open a command window and do "echo %path%" again and you should see that spit back out. ("%SystemRoot%" will be replaced by "C:\Windows")

I did all of that...

But it still gives the same message .

And thanks for the help, again .

Ok... I have no idea. *If* the path is set correctly and *if* regsvr32.exe is sitting where it's supposed to be, there's not reason for it to tell you that it doesn't recognize the name of the program.

I'll try doing it again, later tonight, just in case I did something wrong .
