Unfortunately, it seems that installing Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) sometimes has some adverse affects on other applications. Here’s how to fix this.
The problems we’ve experienced following installation of IE8 have been:
- Windows Explorer opens folders in new windows, even if you have “Open each window in the same folder” checked ;.
- “Open in new tab” doesn’t work in IE8;
- Can’t connect to databases using SQL Management Studio Express 2008 (”Unable to cast COM object of type ‘System.__ComObject’ to interface type ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider’. Exception from HRESULT: 0×80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)”).
The solution is pretty simple:
- Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories,
- right-click “Command Prompt”,
- and choose “Run as Administrator”.
- OK the user access warning dialogs.
- Enter “regsvr32 actxprxy.dll”.
- Reboot.
Simples! No more tearing my hair out.
