The CrimeStar program software makes use of OCX files (Also known as ‘ActiveX’) to achieve certain functionality and perform specific tasks. An OCX file is typically a self-contained loadable module that can be shared by many applications on a computer. For this reason OCX files must be registered with the computer where they are installed. This registration is saved in the computer's Registry file. From time to time the installation software may not be able to properly register an OCX file in the registry. This situation can occur for several different reasons.
Some of the things that can happen is that the OCX file may already exist on your computer and another program may have been using the file when the install was being performed.
Or on Windows Operating System you were signed on as a user with insufficient rights to update the registry. In either case this situation is easily correctable. Using the file finder/explorer check to make sure the OCX file in question is on the machine. Generally OCX files should be in the \Windows\System directory. If the file exists on the machine you can manually register the OCX file with the system registry.
On most machines there is a program named REGSVR32.EXE that is used to manually register an OCX file on your computer. Simply run this program and provide it the name of the OCX file that you wish to register.
Go to Start and select Run. Then type in "REGSVR32.EXE" followed by the fully qualified file name that you wish to register.
Example: REGSVR32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSACALC70.OCX
