When I open the Program Compatibility wizard, the three buttons at the bottom are blank, and inoperable.


Program Compatibility Wizard buttons are blank

Symptom

I'm trying to install AncestryView on Windows XP, which requires the Program Compatibility Wizard. When I open the wizard, however, the three buttons at the bottom are blank. If I click the third button, it cancels the wizard, but the other two don't do anything at all. I even tried disabling the anti-virus program and firewall to see if that was the problem, but it didn't work.

Resolution

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Press Enter. Similarly, execute the following commands:

regsvr32 compatui.dll
regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 mshtmled.dll

The Program Compatibility Wizard should now open correctly.
