    A Miraculous Guide to getting Tabs.OCX working

    The infamous Tabs.ocx is a tricky hurdle to overcome. Finding it is hard enough but then registering it (Don't worry if you don't understand, you don't need to).

    So here is my step by step guide to fixing it!

    1. Download it: http://www.filefactory.com/file/18ac91/ (Came straight from my own System32 folder, Virus check if you want to double check).

    2. Save it wherever you want (Always keep a back up copy)


    3. Copy the file into your 'System32' (My Computer > (C:) > Windows > System32)


    4. Run the file... (If you get an error message see 4.a)
    4.a Right click Tabs.ocx, click 'Open With' and look for 'RegSvr32' in your 'System32' Folder. (If you still get an error see 4.b)
    4.b Right click (Before you run the program) the command prompt (It's called CMD.exe and can be found in your 'System32' Folder) and choose run as administrator, then type 'Tabs.ocx' and press 'enter' (You should if nothing else has worked up till now, get a nice message telling you it's been registered.


    Thank you and feel free to pop any questions you might have.
    This guide is my own, and worked out by myself for myself being shared to you. Please do not plagiarize.

    Im seriously wondering what program( or anything else ) might give you this problem, but, instead of doing it that way, coudn't you simply go to Start > run... and typ in 'RegSvr32 Tabs.ocx' ?
