Vista 32 Demo install Self-Registration Error

[Monolithent]

I'm building two laptops to run Hoster and a separate DJ program for a friend of mine in the business. The machines are both Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7436 17" Notebooks. Vista Home Premium. amd Athlon64x2 TK-53 processor. 2GB Dual Channel Ram. 120Gb Drive. I did install all the Windows updates to include the optional ones. (Which for anyone who has one of these laptops the updates will kill the driver for your DVD drive but it is fixable with simple registry tweaks)

The problem is that when I install The Hoster Demo to test the systems I gat a Self-Registration Error that reads exactly like this:

The following files did not self-registeror unregister:

C:\Windows\System32\OLEAUT32.DLL
Access Is Denied.

C:\Windows\System32\STDOLE2.TLB
Error accessing the OLE registry.

To continue, click OK; otherwise, click cancel

The first time I got this I clicked OK and the program started up just fine and I was able to throw in a couple of test songs which seemed to load fine. When I went to play one of them I got a sound like a metronome from both speakers and no video (just a black screen). I've heard of the clicking happening but I thought the guy at least got video.

Just to be safe I downloaded the Demo again and retried the install but to no avail.

Any ideas? I don't know Vista as well as I knew XP, but it takes a direct order from the president of the universe to get a new computer with xp anymore.

On about the 6th or 7th page of the installation (after the MTU registration) there is a note that with Vista you will get those two error messages. Just click the OK and go on as it does install correctly. Those two files are included because XP does not come with them, but Vista does. You are good to go Jon.
I don't know Vista well either but I know some have gotten those same symptoms and it usually is a settings or drivers for the drive that aren't right. I would try going to Toshiba and reload their drivers for it.

Thanks I didn't see that during the install. I will give the drivers a shot. If it doesn't work I will be back.

Turns out the problem was the drive built into this laptop. It really won't read karaoke. Explains a great many things.

I copied a KMA file from my system into this one and it worked just fine. Guess I'm gonna have to finance an external Plextor for this guy too. Or get him two of the older slim drives for these things. Gonna try updating the firmware first but I'm guessin it won't help.

Thanks for the help

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4817 w/ AMD Turion 64X2, TL-58....it came with a drive installed that is karaoke compatible...it is listed in Device Manager as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device....if you could locate one it may work in your setup??

Hey Mike,

I looked into changing out the dvd drive on these machines and I talked to the guy who is paying for all of this. If I were going to do it I would only install a plextor that will read and write karaoke. Besides, the guy is gonna borrow my external Plextor to install his songs (that or have me do it for him). I'm figuring the expense and the headache to swap out a brand new notebook drive isn't worth it at this point when we can get externals for a similar price and have more flexibility with them.

I really appreciate the info, though.
