regsvr32 problems

Hi all. I'm running Vista Home Premium 32bit and I'm trying to register
the yacscom.dll file so I can use Yahoo! Voice Chat with my chat
clients. It gives me an error when it tries installing so I manually
copy/pasted the file to my system32 folder and then attempted to
register it.

I get this when I try: "The module "yacscom.dll" may not be compatible
with the version of Windows you're running. Check if the module is
compatible with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of
regsvr32.exe."

The dll was made specifically for Vista users to be able to Voice Chat
on Yahoo, and many others have got it working. What's the deal with me?
Any and all help asap would be appreciated. I'm sick of this.

Thanks in advance.

Are you running regsvr32 from an elevated command prompt? If not, please do
so.

Start>Search>type: cmd
When cmd appears in Results above, right-click it and choose "Run as
administrator".

This will give you an elevated command prompt. Navigate to C
\Windows\System32 (if you're not already there) by doing

cd C:\Windows\System32 [enter]

and type at the prompt:

regsvr32 yacscom.dll [enter]

You should get a messagebox saying it was successful. Close out of the
command prompt.
