Download The File From Microsoft

The File Comdlg32.ocx is a required file for running any of our Design Programs offered here. You only have to install it once and it will work with all design programs.

We recommend trying to run the program prior to installing this as many machines have this program already installed from some other program.

What is the Comdlg32.ocx file?

The CommonDialog control provides a standard set of dialog boxes for operations such as opening and saving files, setting print options, and selecting colors and fonts. This article documents how to set up the control for successful use in Internet Explorer.

Once you have the file what do you do with it ?

Depending on what version of windows you are running, you will need to place it in your ( Windows\system32) folder , or (WINNT\System32) folder.

For Vista Users you will need to install it in the ( \Windows\SysWOW64\ ) folder.

Once installed, you will need to register it with the Operating System.

Again, depending on your operating system, you will need the appropriate commands.
