Error 429, active X component can't open object after installing KC on a new computer

This is a Windows issue.  It means that something on the computer is preventing the active X component needed by the software from registering properly.  Without that component, Kennel Connection cannot function.  


Please note:  This is not being caused by Kennel Connection.
