 sysinfo.ocx

~~~~~~~~

When I switch on PC a message appears to advise me that sysinfo.ocx or one of its dependencies is missing.

Although I can delete the message and carry on, there obviously is a fault and I would like to install/reinstall sysinfo.ocx to clear this problem

All help will be gratefully received.

Hi Stan

Many thanks for your prompt response to my query. I have been 'down the Google road' already regarding this but, without exception, all offers to give me a free download to repair the problem end up (after a scan which indicates that there are up to/over 40,00 (yes, 40,000) faults/problems in my PC) seeking registration/payment for the service. How on earth PC is working so well with all of these problems..................!!

Even If I felt like paying up I am not prepared to take the risk of this 'clear out' in case it removes stuff I don't want removed.

kind regards,

doxin

Hi,

Check to see if the file sysinfo.ocx is in the folder c:\windows\system32\

If it is, try:

1. Right click on Command Prompt and selected "Run as Administrator"

2. Type in: regsvr32 c:/windows/system32/sysinfo.ocx

3. After running that command, see if it has resolved the problem

Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your interest. File not found despite several searches. I still cannot understand why, if file is so important to 'health' of the PC, that PC is running as normal.

kind regards,
