The file you downloaded may need to be placed into the Windows System directory. On most machines this is one of the following locations:
C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me),

regsvr32 \windows\system\file.ocx (Windows 95/98/ME),
regsvr32 \WINNT\system32\file.ocx (Windows NT/2000), or
regsvr32 \windows\system32\file.ocx (Windows XP).
For example, regsvr32 \windows\system\mftp32.ocx
If you are replacing a file for another program, change the directory where appropriate. For example, regsvr32 \program files\Norton\xyz.ocx
If the file is registered correctly, you will receive a positive confirmation message.
