Games in Visa Fixes
#1
Introduction
I recommend Attempt 1, 3 and 4. At least one of those should fix your problem. But if they dont, try another one. If all this fails, try googeling for it (attempt 5).

Attempt 1
To get the dx7vb.dll file to register, do this:

Quote:Alright, I found out the main problem here. Its the security of vista. Thats whats causes "The module 'Dx7vb.dll' was loaded but the call to the DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005."

To turn it off all you have to do is "Start" "Control Panel" "User Accounts" "Turn user account control on or off" After that, download and register the .ddl files.

Google the DLL and you will get it. You can drag the dll onto the file regsvr32.exe in C:/Windows/System32 or you can do it though the run box: regsvr32.exe Dx7vb.dll

You will have to restart the computer, but it works.

Short fix:
Quote:disable the UAC then registering the .dll/.ocx files

Attempt 2
Use this url as a reference: http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/tr ... 02801c.htm
It explains some about the problem and how you can fix it.

Attempt 3
Have you typed cmd in the Start Search box above the Start Orb and when cmd.exe
appears at the top of the Start Menu, right clicked on it and selected "Run as
Administrator" and then executed the regsvr command?

Attempt 4
This error means that regsvr32 was not able to access and/or update the registry. Check the permissions on the part of the registry where access is denied. You can run regmon to manually fix the registry.
Make sure you start your Command Prompt with Administrator privileges.
Right click the Command Prompt shortcut and click Run as Administrator.
If you don't do this regsvr32 will fail with errors similar to what you are
describing.

Attempt 5
Google for it, it has tons of different fixes to get it to work for vista, search for: was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x8002801c

I already posted a fix for Vista, it's stickied.. Why post another?

Cause your fix didn't work for many in my community, so I started goggeling and constructed a better list with more options. haha

All you have to do is use my fix then install the library files. It's worked for a lot of people.

Besides, the SMART thing to do, would have been to add to my already posted, stickied thread. Instead of basically copying what I said and making a second post..

Also, having Vista isn't a bug. Tongue
