The error "ActiveX component can't create object: 'Wscript.Shell'" can be
resolved by typing this in Start, Run:
regsvr32 wshom.ocx
(Press Enter)
If that does not help, reinstall Windows Script 5.6 (for Windows 2000/XP)
available from Microsoft site.

Ramesh,
I visited your site and downloaded the olereg.vbs and tried to run it, but
just got this Windows Script Host error:
Script: C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Desktop\olereg.vbs
Line: 13
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Wscript.Shell'
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I've looked at the other links and tried some 'known issue' solutions and
did changes to the affiliated registry and still have the problem.
I did a safe mode virus and adware scan and found one called:
W32.Sinnaka.A@mm. It was scanned in the Regkey in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:SOFTWARE\Microsof\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrneVersion\Run, but has been
deleted and no longer present. Nothing seems to help and my only next
alternative is to back-up data and load the recovery dvd's that i made over
a
year ago. Your info was quite informative and unless you have any other
ideas, I should start my recovery efforts this weekend.

Do what you can, because no one gets-out-of-here-alive!

Perhaps this will help.
ActiveX controls may not load as expected in Internet Explorer due to
defense in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688:

I can not access 'User Account' whether in norm or safe mode. Admin in
safe
mode gets this message/error: ['User account' Wrong number of arguments
or
invalid property assignment] Booting to last known good config does not
help
either. Does anyone ever experienced/knowledge of this? I will greatly
appreciate it if there is a fix besides config system back to
factory/original state....
