CAUSE
=====

RESOLUTION

You need to manually register the Msstkprp.dll file.

Step-by-Step Procedure
----------------------

1. Copy the Msstkprp.dll file from \OS\System folder on your Visual Basic CD to
  your Windows\System folder (or the System32 folder if you are using Microsoft
  Windows NT).

2. Use the RegSvr32 utility to manually register the Msstkprp.dll. On the
  Windows Start menu, click Run, and then type the following command:

  "Regsvr32 C:\Windows\System\Msstkprp.dll" (without the quotation marks)
