Any idea how to resolve this issue?

You've probably got UAC (User Access Control) on.
Under Vista you can only register a DLL or OCX control when running as administrator, but even if you are an administrator you run as a user unless specifically promoted to an administrator.
Registering controls under Vista is a pain! What you have to do is this :
- Find the shortcut to the command prompt (Show All Programs, Accessories).
- Right click it and select Run as administrator.
- Select OK or enter the administrator password in the dialog that is displayed.
- Change directory to the folder where the DLL or OCX you want to use is (using the CD command, e.g. CD \NavCoder or some such)
- Run the program regsvr32 followed by the name of the DLL or OCX, eg regsvr32 mscomm32.ocx
