Quite often, many users who use toInternet surfing browser Google Chrome, faced with an unpleasant situation when the system instead of starting the program writes "Class is not registered." Why this happens, and how to fix this kind of failures, now we will try to find out.
The essence of the error "Class is not registered" (Windows 8)
In general, we note right away: this error is mostly characteristic exclusively for the Google Chrome browser, and it began to appear only in Windows 8 and later versions of "operating systems".
If suddenly on the screen when you start the browserit is reported that the class is not registered, this can be given one explanation. The fact is that in the "eight" the browser integrates into the system and starts a little differently than it was in previous versions. The program is launched not through a shortcut that refers to the executable EXE file, but through the Class ID. We will not climb into the jungle of computer software, and confine ourselves only to this explanation. It will be more clear further.
Causes of error
As already understood, when a failure occurs withthe message “Class is not registered” simply fails to initialize the launch of the browser using special registry keys (in particular, even when trying to install Google Chrome as the default browser when the program offers it).
In this case, set the browser asThe main tool for viewing web content is from the special default program section, which can be found through a search or in the Control Panel.
Also the problem is the appearance of the message “Class notregistered ”may be related to the situation when a new version of the browser is installed on top of an outdated one without prior removal. Thus, the simplest solution suggests itself, which allows to radically correct the situation.
The easiest way to fix
Yes Yes! This is exactly the removal of the program.But the usual uninstallation by means of Windows turns out to be completely incomplete, since the deleted registry keys remain partially in the system registry. The same applies to files on the hard disk in the directory with the program Program Files or Program Files (x86).
It is better to use utilities like iObitUninstaller, which are able to perform deep scanning for residual objects and delete them entirely. But after such a powerful removal should be found on the Internet (best on the official resource), the latest version of the browser and install Chrome again.
Error "Class not registered": editing registry entries
But what to do when the user does not wantFor example, lose bookmarks? It is clear that you should not delete the browser. But the message “Class not registered” will appear again and again. As the simplest tool, you can pre-export bookmarks to an HTML file. But you can do a little differently, although the proposed method is quite complicated. First you need to right-click on the browser shortcut and select the property bar from the menu.
Now on the tab of the label at the bottom left clickthe file location button, after which we select the latest version of the browser and go to the directory itself. Now copy the full path from the address bar. It is better to save it in some text document, for example, in a text file created with a regular Notepad.
Далее в меню «Выполнить» (Win + R) прописываем command regedit and enter the registry editor. Here we need to search, called either from the main menu, or by pressing Ctrl + F, or simply by pressing F3.
In the search query, we prescribe a combination5C65F4B0-3651-4514-B207-D10CB699B14B, and then we enter this branch. Here we are interested in the LocalServer32 subfolder, in which there is a Default key or two (another one is ServerExecutable). Each entry must be opened for editing and enter in the corresponding fields the path to the file that was copied earlier. After that, the problem should disappear. By the way, the search can be set precisely by the folder name, if this branch is not found.
Just in case, you can repeat the search.If any other keys, besides the two edited ones, are discovered, they should also be changed. But in general, as practice shows, there is enough such simple manipulations.
Finally it remains to add that the problem maybe connected with some add-ons. In the most common version, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player, having previously downloaded its latest version from the official resource.
