I spent 12 hours yesterday and last night at this discussion and Google;
tried all the fixes I found. The one that finally worked last night was the
following, 'registration of the files' by TaurArian [MS-MVP] 2005-2006.

This morning the error was back and nothing I have found will get rid of it
now. I have tried all the found fixes again to no avail. Windows XP Home
SP2. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else has this problem, here'e what mine was.

It was caused by my 3rd party firewall (Anthenium Security Suite) provided
free by my ISP (cox.net.)

Set the firewall to Medium and everything works fine. If it is set to High,
the error messege appears.

Don't know why something didn't ask for permission while set on High.

Anyway, hope this will help someone.
