OP: regsvr32 mshtml.dllWhen my Computer Loads I get a 6x7 blank square like a program didn't load. I've ran a check on my dll's and they all are working except the regsvr32 mshtml.dll. It says it was loaded, but the Dll Register Server Entery Point was not found. This file can not be registered.

Hi,1. Since when are you facing this issue?2. Were there any changes made prior to this issue?Try the steps below: Method 1: Unregister and re-register the mshtml.dll and then check if you come across the issue.Step 1:a. Click on Start.b. Click on Run and then type regsvr32 /u mshtml.dllc. Click on OK.Step 2:a. Click on Start.b. Click on Run, type: regsvr32 mshtml.dll c. Click OK.Method 2:If the above step fails, thenI would suggest that you run [System File Checker] SFC scan on the computer which would scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them.a. ClickStart, clickRun, type cmdin the Open box, and then click OK.b. At the command prompt, typesfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.Note: You may be prompt to insert the Windows XP CD.The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.For additional information, you may refer the following article:Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)Regards, Manasa P – Microsoft Support.

Manasa,I have the same problem but I cannot find my original XP disc that came with my Toshiba laptop. What do I have to do to run the scan?

I will save you some time and frustration:The mshtml.dll after Internet Explorer 6 has no entry point for registration.Unless you are using Internet Explorer 6, those directions will not allow you to unregister or re-register the mshtml.dll file (try it).Running the scan also will not help you.Running sfc /scannow only replaces file in the following folder:%Systemroot\system32\dllcacheUnless it is your desire to check up on your dllcache folder, running sfc /scannow is only good for one thing: wasting your time.If you do not have a genuine bootable XP installation CD that matches your installed Service Pack (most people don't), sfc /scannow will also be frustrating and annoying and a further waste of time as you try to stop it. stoneyt, try to provide more information about your issue (the first description not quite enough):Maybe someday the XP forums "Ask a question" dialog will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I do not have to ask them every single time. It might even be possible to resolve an issue in a single reply when enough information is provided.Please provide additional information about your system:What is your system make and model?What is your XP Version and Service Pack?Describe your current antivirus and anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc.Does the afflicted system have a working CD/DVD drive?Do you have a genuine bootable XP installation CD (this is not the same as any Recovery CDs that came with your system)?What do you see that you don't think you should be seeing?What do you not see that you think you should be seeing?Fill in the blank: My system was working fine until: ____________________________________________. Do, or do not. There is no try.I decided to save up points for a new puppy instead of a pony!
