now the problem:
I tried installing 2.1.0 and it goes okay till the end. i do not get an option to reboot the system. all i get is an "click to finish" dialog. the dll's are not registering correctly. when i use regsvr32 i get a
DllRegisterServer in C:\bla bla bla.dll failed.
Return code was 0c80040154

-incidentialy is a class not valid error, according to M$-
on ALL of the dlls. I turned off ALL om my security and background programs and still nothing. I checked the environment registry key and still came up with nothing abnormal. I am the only user on the cpu with admin rights and i dont get it. anyone that could help? i already read every 2.1.0 post in the forum, checked sourceforge and the dev forum, searched on google, yahoo and lycos, and still am coming up short. I have re downloaded the file 4 times and the same problem keeps occuring.

I am at a complete loss as of what to do.... f@&%ing M$ and their f@&%ing WinXP, and their "ooh noo.... we dont need DOS anymore..."

buncha f-ing douchebags...

P.S. Tried Dl-ing the 2.0.4 to see if that would work (i read that it did for some people) and to no avail, still get unable to register errors for ALL of the dll's.

Grrr... why is this so frustrating.
