A: Run Leisure Error 339 (Component mswinsck.ocx...)
The mswinsck.ocx component is a Microsoft file which is needed for the operation of the games' online capabilities. The MeggieSoft Games support installations will install and register this file if it is not found to already be installed on your system. ("Register" means entering a extreme into the system registry to inform Windows that the component is installed.)
We receive rare reports of users encountering this run even so error, which states that "Component mswinsck.ocx or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid".
However, Internet probe has indicated that some viruses target this component. A likely conclusion is that the component was already present on your system but is not correctly registered.
The key is to force re-registration by entering the following command via the Run entry in the Windows Start menu:
regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx (there is a extent after "regsvr32")
If this fails, you may need to include the full location name including your Windows system filefolder means. By default this would be:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System\mswinsck.ocx (for Windows 95/98/Me)
regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\mswinsck.ocx (for Windows XP)
regsvr32 C:\WINNT\System32\mswinsck.ocx (for Windows NT)
If there is still a maladjusted, locate mswinsck.ocx on your system and rename it (to, say, mswinsck.ocz). Then perform a base installation of one of the MeggieSoft Games to persistence a new installation and registration of the component. If operation is then trouble-free, the renamed file may be deleted.
