Hi,

I've got a bright new PC running XP pro sp2 with IE7. When I try to
print from IE I always get a res://ieframe.dll/preview.dlg error on
line 1405.

Of course I've googled. There's supposedly 2 common causes, a setting
in IE, checked that, and reregistration of DLLs, checked that. I've
also done a sfc /scannow and no luck.
I've checked event logs, nothing. Other apps print (except OE but
that's logical)

Any thoughts?

Thanks but like I mentioned in my initial post, I've tried that, it
registered ok but didn't affect the problem at all

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b)
all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does,
do NOT reinstall IE7.

4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.]

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

I was able to fix the problem in two separate cases by disabling
protected mode on Internet Explorer 7. I know that this might not be
the most security-minded solution to the problem, and maybe someone
with a bit more IE knowledge could break it down further, but it
seemed to work.

Both cases I saw this error, they were both Windows Vista machines
running Internet Explorer 7. In both cases, disabling the add-ons and
restoring IE entirely from scratch did not seem to solve the problem
at all.
