 VB4.0a / NT 4.0 Server + SP2 and corrupted VB projects

I am having trouble figuring out the correct steps to take to resetup my
VB4.0a system after an installation of NT 4.0 Service Pack 2.

I use this PC for VB4 development.  After installation of the SP I opened
my VB4/32 project and noticed that most custom controls had gotten their
custom properties reset.  After "fixing" them up and running the prpject I
got the error "Error loading from file".  My memory of something similar is
that this is an OCX registry error.  I tried deleting the OCA's and
restarting VB, but same problem occurred.  Do all of my custom controls
need to be reinstalled now?  Or is there a magic bullet that is easier on
the floppy drive?

Thanks to one and all for taking the time to respond!

* Side note to the NT forum recipients, the "Symbols" file does not have
any instructions on how to install it other than to extract it with the
"-d" option to any directory and then run "update", but no "update" is
included with the Symbols.

   The error is specifically an OCX registration problem.  Depending
on what OCXs you have you will need to make sure that they are
registered properly -- again (arg).  I'd recommend reinstalling any
OCX 3rd party products you purchased.

    You can, if you can identify them try adding the reference to the
registry by editing using the regsrv32.exe program.  This program is
found on the VB CD.
