COM Object failed

[Richard Bartlett]

When I say folder, I intend to refer to the folder icon used as a registry key. The path I gave removed the slashes as this forum filters them when used as a text insertion.

This note wasn’t a universal fix and helped my problems with XP (x86/x32).
So follow down to the key “folder” in regedit. Right-mouse select it and go to ‘Permissions’. Hopefully you still have this when you use Vista.

So double important as you are Vista and I’m XP…. Please backup anything you are about to change including the means to recover it should you be unable to boot afterwards.

The Internet is full of fixes and problems and rarely do you ever find news that something will simply work untouched. So you may be indirectly finding a problem with COM or the Sony software that is more accurately described as being a reflection on the integrity of your Windows installation itself.

As I recall, the released/purchased version of VegasPro didn’t have this problem on any subsequent system I required use of it on. FWiW.
