Hello,

I'm trying to debug an event (see screen shot) and would like to find the name of the guilty program. I can find plenty of references to find GUID/CLSID/APPID given a program name, but not the other way around.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for reading this.

RE: How to get friendly program name from CLSID/APPID

Thanks for the suggestion. Another tool for my toolbox.

Didn't help with the problem though. It couldn't find the CLSID reported in the event log in the registry!!??

I think I have pinned it down to one of a few programs though so I am trying to find which one by a process of elimination.

regsvr32.exe is what registers COM servers/ActiveX Controls. If it's not in the registry then that likely didn't happen.

Google the CLSID
Search the registry for the CLSID
Use Process Explorer to find out what it's doing: Process Explorer
(not real easy to do, but it is an amazing tool for examining running process'!)

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Still plugging away on and off at this problem. Thought it was related to the HPZ12 driver, but I disabled it and references to the CLSID continued to appear in the event log.

Process explorer is a great program, but I haven't found anything with it yet. (Probably because I don't know all it is capable of.)

Thanks for the prompt responses :)

I don't have Word. Also you don't specify the clsid in question.

Nice find for the fix - +1
