Finally managed to solve this strangeness.

The problem was down to permissions on the HKCR/Scripting.Dictionary registry key. For some reason only readable by the Administrator. Permissions were also set for the HKCR root key to give Everyone full control. Malware has to be the suspect - but I do try and be very careful!

So now happily using DigiGuide - DabDig - WebScheduler - TwinHan

All seems well, except DabDig objects to the WebSchedulerURLRadio .ini param to force capture type 5 - but that's probably another thread or some more careful reading.

So thanks for your help, and to SysInternals for their marvellous RegMon tool that allowed me to diagnose the problem.

Well done.

I was going to suggest trying RegMon and FileMon if you fancied a digging around inside Windows.

As for the Radio URL - looks like I let my documentation get ahead of the code.

I think I started to put it in because of a request from Bob Todey.

See this thread over on the WebScheduler forum.

The trick that I mentioned in that posting was to rename or renumber (depending of the setting of WebSchedulerTakeNum) the channel to include &cattype=5 at the end.

That appeared to work - so I was going to implement it directly in the code - but - I would then need a way for you to tell DABDig that the requested channel is a "radio" channel since DigiGuide doesn't pass that information across.

Looks like I didn't get around to that piece - but I could do it without too much hassle if needed.

Hi,

Got the 800A01AD err when I try to setup recording

Script f:\{path}\dabdig.vbe

Line: 6052

Char: 7

Error: ActivX component can't create object: 'GetObject'

Code: 800A01AD

Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error.

I am using windows 2000 server.

I did not have any problems with a previous version of DABDig (2.54b09) with the twinhan sw.

However I have just upgraded to DVBViewver and the latest DABDig. Eariler in the day I had done the same on my XP box, same card & DABDig vers & no prob.

Your VBtest runs OK, have regegistered everything and had a go at the reg key permission, thou as this a slightly different err I don't think that applicable.

Have installed latest scripting host but not as administrator but as a member of the administrators group.

I also get this err when loged on as administrator.

Any ideas?

Thanx

Damn ... I'll have another route around ... however, I suspect it is MS scripting playing up.

I'll make a new mini test program to try to reduce the problem to absolute minimum.

However, will probably not be before 11:00

Quick thought ...

I suspect that DVBViewer was not running when you started DABDig ... and DABDig tried to get it to run.

If so - can you repeat the test but have DVBViewer already running.

You might still get the error - but with a different line number.

Glad it turned out to be simple 'cos I've got a full day today and diagnosing wierd Microsoft problems wasn't on the to-do list

Thanks for the feedback - I think the "glue" analogy is one that I have used as well although I see it more like sticking plaster
