Google that OCX, drop it into c:\windows\system32
At a command prompt run regsvr32 mscomm32.ocx
If that doesn't do it, wait fer Bill to mosey on over to help ya

Perhaps try unregistering that control then re-registering ( it's the /U switch)...
See (4th post down): http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...48335&SiteID=1

This OCX isn't shipped with Vista; MS says the app vendor needs to include it ... that would mean a call to Edge tech support - is there a Vista support statement issued by Edge Products? I know SCT is in a similar predicament with workarounds ...
BTW - Running as a user or as an Admin?

To unregister, you would run "regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\mscomm32.ocx" from the RUN dialog.
You might have to excuse my ignorance, as I refuse to give Microsoft any more money because they feel the need to increase their revenue by upgrading operating systems yet *AGAIN* to VISTA. Well, my XP works just fine, thankyouverymuch.
Anyway, I am under the assumption that there are still some basic configuration similarities, although I could be way off base. I am sure if you do a google for Vista and MSCOM32.OCX, something is bound to turn up. I did find this... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...11412&SiteID=1
In any event, I'll get Edge's official standpoint tomorrow and post something here.
Good luck.
Bill
On EDIT:
According to a thread in a TurboTax Forum, Vista is having problems with how it handles VB controls (OCX files). Some have tried the "Run as Admin" fix and have still had some issues. However, one solution that seems to work is to actually UNREGISTER the stupid things controls. How's that for bass-ackwards! So, try the unregister command at the top of this post and it *SHOULD* get you going.
