Troubleshooting Common-AnalogEdit Active X Control Issue on FTView SE Windows 10 Upgrade

Question:

Having recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 and FTView SE from version 8 to 12, I encountered an issue with Common_AnalogEdit not being able to load Active X due to the presence of Microsoft Forms 2.0 TextBox. If you have experienced a similar problem, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. A screenshot has been attached for reference. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, MJ Lebotse

To ensure compatibility and functionality, transfer the textbox DLL and any related files, such as an OCX, from the system32 directory to your new computer and re-register them. This procedure is commonly required when updating RSView32 on newer Windows operating systems, which may include outdated versions of the Forms DLLs.

Hey MJ Lebotse, I faced a similar issue when upgrading. It seems like this problem might be connected to how Windows 10 handles Active X controls and Microsoft Forms differently than Windows 7. One potential solution I found was to reinstall or repair the Microsoft Office installation on your machine. The Forms 2.0 library is part of this and reinstalling might help freshen up those dependencies. Also, you might need to adjust your security settings to permit Active X controls to load properly. I hope this helps!

Hey MJ, I faced a similar problem when I upgraded my system, and it was indeed tied to the compatibility with ActiveX controls. One quick fix that worked for me was to ensure that all necessary components were properly registered in the Windows Registry after the upgrade. I also found it helpful to run FTView SE as an administrator. If those steps don’t resolve the issue, consider reinstalling the Microsoft Forms library—it can often get messed up during version upgrades. Hope this helps!
