How to Debug ActiveX DLL


1. Go to one of the many online DLL libraries (see Resources).
2. Download the ActiveX DLL and save it to your 'Windows\System32' folder. Alternatively, you can download the ActiveX DLL and save it to your desktop and then drag the DLL into your 'Windows\System32' folder.
3. Click the 'Start' menu and type 'Run' into the 'Search Files and Folders' box and press 'Enter.' Or, if you are using a version of Windows prior to Vista, click the 'Start' menu and then click 'Run.' The Run tool opens.
4. Type 'cmd' into the 'Open' box and click 'OK.' The Command Prompt opens.
5. Type 'regsvr32 ActiveX.dll' (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt and press 'Enter.'
6. Click 'Yes' to confirm that you wish to register the DLL.
7. Close the Command Prompt and restart your computer.
