Regsvr32.exe Problems when Installing Game - Help

[MrMacca]

Yesterday I attempted to Install an old favourite of mine - Formula 1 - 99-2002 Season.

All seems to be going fine and then the installation just stops completely. It happens at around 10%. I try to cancel the installation but it is frozen in time.

I CTRL, ALT and DELETE and in my Processes I see that one of them is running at 99% Usage. Its name is REGSRV32.EXE. I try and cancel this and after about 2/3 Attempts it finally quits out. After about 5 Seconds of quitting that process my computer begins to run extremely and when I check the CTRL ALT DELETE my EXPLORER.EXE is now at 99%.

If I try and cancel this my computer completely dies on me and I have to do a REBOOT.

Does anyone know what the hell this REGSRV32.EXE is and why it is conflicting with me installing this game?

I have tried to install it on numerous other attempts and the installation gets to various stages 10%, 23%, 43% and I just do not understand where this conflict with the regsrv is coming from.

Anybody have any suggestions / Things to try that will allow me to install this game?

Thanks in advance!

Its regsvr32.exe, its used to register DLL's for use in Windows, im guessing its doing it silently in the background via a batch file at command prompt level.

Its a DLL the game is trying to install, look on the cd if anything sticks out, it could need copying down to somewhere in the system path or may be an old version of an existing DLL.

Regsrv actually appears to be a Virus, if it is actually SRV and not SVR run a virus and spyware/adware scan.
