STHS Forum

I have been running the sim since I got my computer six months ago... I simmed yesterday and it worked fine, when I went to sim today I got an error stating mswinsck.ocx was missing or invaild. When ran the adminsrative opintion and tested my support files it said tabctl32.ocx was missing or invaild. I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is and how to fix it.

Re-installation of the STHS Support Files should fix your problem.

try this

I have done both things you guys have suggested... I have reloaded the support file numberous times, and I followed te vista 32 post already... Neither of them work for me... This is quite a frusterating problem...

Which Version of Window you using ?

Try uninstalling the support files, then re-boot your computer and then try to re-install.

Can you run the STHS as an administrator for once?

I'm the other commish in the league. I don't have access to the computer, but I can help answer some of your questions. He's using Windows Vista. The probem seems to be signing in as the administrator, which he didn't have to do when he downloaded the game. He finally figured it out when prompted with the mswinsck.ocx, but then the tabctl32.ocx error came up. I know he's frustrated, as am I, but it worked before, so I'm hoping we'll find an eaxy fix. Any idea how to prompt the administrator pop up? It doesn't seem to come up automatically. Does the computer need re-booted before changes take effect?

The Admin prompt pop up because the STHS Support Files were probably not installed as an administrator.

Thank you for the help Simon!

No problem.
