I have been using a program called WinBMD to transcribe handwritten
registers onto a data base. Suddenly I found I couldn't open it and got the
message,' Run time error 429 ActiveX component can't create object'

I have tried everything I could think of:

running as Administrator
system restore to when it was working properly
Adding it to trusted sites in Kapersky etc

but to no avail
has anyone any ideas on how to solve this?
I am using Vista Home premium

Logical steps:

1. Answer The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what
changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

2. Contact WinBMD's tech support.

Do a google search on runtime error 429, there are a lot of results.

http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-3032274.php is a typical one and
it seems there's not a step by step answer and the authors might be the
best people to ask.

It sounds to me like it may be a file permission problem, where the
software is trying to create something in a folder it does not have
access permissions for.

With regard to the ads on the page above I don't recommend trying the
advertised registry cleaners in the hope of a quick fix. There are some
which can check and inform, that's fine, you get a choice, but there are
others which actually cause problems and give you no choice, ask for
some recommendations here if you want to try a registry fix. My guess is
the installer set permissions and a recent windows update may have
tightened them for security reasons, else it's something similar broken
in the registry. Either way the software developer should be aware of it
by now.
