Help! Page cannot be displayed error - and more!

I have a desktop connected directly to hub/wifi and a laptop which I
sometimes connect directly to the network but mainly via the wifi.



On my laptop I am able to visit and search sites however, whenever I need to
enter any password protected sites i.e. access to secure site, like MSN I
receive the message "Page cannot be displayed". This is preventing me from
getting Updates from the Microsoft and Zonealarm sites. This happens on both
hardwired and wifi setups.



I discovered the article Q326155 on the Knowledge Base on my desktop,
printed it and followed the list diligently.



However, when re-registering the core DLLs I sometimes get messages like:
"wininet.dll was loaded, but the DllRegiserServer entry point was not found".



This occurred with comctl32.dll,digets.dll,inetcpl.dll and scrobj.dll.



When I look up this error message on the Knowledge Base I am told that I
should have Administrator rights to do this action - but I am the
administrator.



Can anyone help with either problem?



I have Zonealarm and at one time I had loaded IE7 but reverted back. Could
there be any conflicts still existing?



Do I re-install Windows or throw the laptop out of the window?

Unfortunately there are a few .dlls which are registerable
(hence they are in that list) but which do not have an entry point
for DllRegisterServer (hence a simple regsvr32 command fails.)
There are also modules still listed there which should not be there
at all.

Most of the modules you are having trouble with do have
an entry point for DllInstall. Hence, you can register them
by using an alternate command syntax:

regsvr32 /n /i <module which has DllInstall>

Tip: you can use DependencyWalker to check which entry points
a module actually has.

You shouldn't be having a problem with scrobj.dll though.
What return code were you getting with it? Ref. KB249873

You could use DependencyWalker's Profiler feature
to check on what is really happening with that case.
E.g. "open" regsvr32.exe in it, press F7 and enter
the switches and the name of the module you are trying to register.

As an alternative to this nuisance of having to know which modules
are registerable or not registerable and in what way are they registerable
you could use MVP Kai Schaetzl's cmd file:

Note: we now think that some of these regsvr32 commands
may cause a problem with IE7. E.g. shdocvw.dll is one example.
So I would either try uninstalling/reinstalling IE7 instead
or try using its RIES feature. Ref. KB923737
Note that the latter completely discards all information from
previous versions (in contrast to a regular uninstall/install),
so at a minimum I would first use PSPV from NirSoft
to export my AutoComplete Passwords (since I'm not

Try improving your technique? ; )


Good luck
