How do I fix Run Time errors?

You are here: Home / Technical / How do I fix Run Time errors?

July 10, 2015 by ExpressPCB

A) Try this first:
1) Uninstall ExpressPCB from the control panel
2) Search your computer for these files, then delete them:
tabctl32.oca
tabctl32.ocx
3) Reinstall ExpressPCB
4) Test it, if that solves the problem, then you are done.

B) If you cannot find the files on your computer, download them here.
1) Extract the files to either folder depending on whether you have 32bit or 64bit windows installed:
1A) (32bit Windows) – C:\windows\system32
1B) (64bit Windows) – C:\windows\SysWOW64
2)Try running ExpressPCB

C) If A does not work, you can try in a command window, typing:
regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\tabctl32.ocx

D) If C does not solves the problem, in a command window try:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\tabctl32.ocx

If you cannot find the files you can download them here.
